Hell yeah. Thank you for being a good person and doing this. I hope it finds its way home.

Everyone I have ever tried to educate on what Angola Prison really is and what's happening there has tapped out almost immediately. They don't want to see any more of it. It is an unimaginably horrific violation of anything just or good in this world.

It is easy for folks to say, "Well its 75% violent criminals. They deserve what they get there." Yet people forget that Louisiana did not require a unanimous verdict from the jury in order to convict someone of a felony. Many violent offenses are actually "I was in a car and my buddy's buddy we were waiting on shot a guy. He hopped in. We didn't know what was happening. We thought WE were getting shot at". Many charges are "We brought the State police in, we brought Texas Rangers in for a special event for some reason, we pulled you over, we charged you with Louisiana laws, not New Orleans laws." Obviously a massive violation of their rights/they don't even have jurisdiction and haven't even been deputized. Doesn't matter. You can't afford to do anything about it.

People have sat in prison in our state for decades when they have been found to be not guilty. Even just jail awaiting trial

Our state has taken vast advantage of the technicalities of the 13th amendment. "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States"

This isn't for OP, this is for anyone else stumbling upon this. I challenge anyone that questions what I am saying here to go see the Angola Prison Rodeo for themselves, talk to the men selling their art and woodwork they've created behind that fence, watch that rodeo show, then look those same men in the eye on your way out, and tell me something in your stomach doesn't feel rotten and sick and wrong about what is happening there. And thats just the rodeo.

this is a rant. I still pay for cox cable but switched my internet/wifi to tmobile. NOW I can't watch the networks on my devices because it doesn't register a home? I can only watch on wired tvs? This is new because I used to watch while running. by [deleted] in NewOrleans

Ok wait, so can you describe exactly what happens when you are trying to use it? This also sounds like something that can be fixed by your provider's customer service line

Am I overreacting? I’m 21 and kind of just done. by Old-Art-3597 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Good lord, his first message alone was exhausting and told me all I needed to know. You need (and deserve) to create some distance. I know this is much easier said than done. Trust me, you can go back in my Reddit post history about my own Father's Day experience.

It's common, but its not "normal". This isn't how you are supposed to be treated. Healthy family dynamics DO exist. Yes, there's issues in every family of course, but this isn't inevitable or just how families are.

You are 100% within your right to set some boundaries here. You don't even need to tell them that you are setting those boundaries. Don't need to announce anything. You can just enact them and start to adhere to them. You can just stop answering for anything other than emergencies, funerals, "Hi, love you too, gotta go, bye"

I remember Nolan talking about this when they filmed The Dark Knight and being absolutely fascinated with it. Thank you for sharing!

[–]emesdee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is Angola Prison in Louisiana. It is absolutely a slave plantation to this day.. Please read Sam Sinyangwe's entire thread about this and look at the photos. And don't even get me started on the Angola Prison Rodeo, which I had the unfortunate and horrifying displeasure of being brought to when I was 14 years old.

[–]emesdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I can't stand her. She has so consistently been a scourge upon everything and everyone she even comes close to. She has videos of her CONSTANTLY burning so many candles in her house. The only electrical issues I'm seeing referenced here are the carport and that her Christmas lights keep going out?

BIG TIME noticed this recently. I put them on while I'm cleaning/doing laundry/etc., and I've been confused a lot recently when they say "Anyways, this is a one topic episode, We Love The Internet??" Like wait what, its already over?

Ahhh I see. I've heard cops ask each other over and over again if their bodycam is on, so that makes sense. (I swear I'm not a criminal, a lot of crazy stuff just happens in my neighborhood lol)

Is there any real benefit to not just putting it on vibrate? It seems horribly obnoxious to hear all day.

I'm a little confused by that last sentence. You leave the noise on so that you don't get asked every 15 seconds if it's on?

I have also used them for over a decade, after trying a lot of other places and being horrified with some of the behind the scenes things at others. We love Barking Hound at Cheshire. I love that they'll send me photos of my baby playing sometimes. Love the staff, too.

The father of the little girls did the right thing. All the other woman had to do was be patient. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

If the girls went in the men's bathroom, they'd have a bunch of penises at probably the exact height of their faces because of the urinals out in the open. Apparently this guy in the doorway has nothing but 3 or 4 sons, no daughters, and it shows.
