@SullyVt68@amanofthesoil Not a lot of people realize the eastern part of the state was so attached to the union that the confederacy had a good deal of trouble even collecting taxes in the region. A stark contrast to all the confederate flags flying there today
@PresidentBlumph As for the man who was charged, I think that shines more of a light on how our judicial system fails time and time again and stresses the importance of not making the same mistake yet again.
By all means, I’d advocate for revisiting those cases.
@PresidentBlumph Putting someone who needs clinical supervision into a place that’s ill equipped to handle them jeopardizes the safety of the staff, other inmates, and can hurt the person being imprisoned. (I.e. this would invoke cruel and unusual punishment)
@PresidentBlumph As someone who would defend the principle of the 2nd which would facilitate such an act would point out, their arguments have no standing on the concept of principles that constitute that right.
So whether it be 19th amendment repealers or genuine crazy people defending her.. 🤷♂️
@PresidentBlumph 1/2 Stupid opinions all around held by someone are bound to happen. The same can be said for those who want to repeal the 19th because of the actions of a few jurors but not advocate repealing the 2nd after considerable travesty by a minority as well. However..
@allie__voss Nor does prison
Statistically, you have a much greater chance of being released from prison after a murder conviction than you do a mental health facility, which is as bad if not worse than described, for the same crime.
@ixx_kv@PhasmatysMC@reddit_lies Nobody is saying the opposite. NGRI will send you to a very dark institution. Prisoners, who’ve seen the other side and back, say they would prefer never to go back
However, statistically you have a much easier time being released from prison than on of these institutions
@PhasmatysMC@ixx_kv@reddit_lies Which states “various criminal studies” as their source. I.e. the Cirincione & Jacobs (1999) statistic I mentioned above lmao
@PhasmatysMC@ixx_kv@reddit_lies 3. I’ll counter your point with your own method.. isn’t this supposed to work the way you said it does?

@PhasmatysMC@ixx_kv@reddit_lies 2. Considering no national report/database of successful NGRI arguments exists (consider the 1978 steadman survey) I’d say you probably pulled that from your ass but most likely you just typed it into Google and got the Callahan/crione statistics AI falsely jumps to every time
@ixx_kv@reddit_lies Slavery happened 150 years ago. Saying we had slaves 150 obviously doesn’t mean we have slaves today
Institutions had release conditions 80 years ago. Saying institutions released people 80 years ago doesn’t mean we release people for the same reasons today.
Silly goober
@Jfignation@the_matt@InsiderWire Very few if any are ever released from those institutions. Even if they are, most times doctors recommend placing the person in a correctional facility for supervision anyway.
Almost all prisoners who’ve seen the other side would rather not go back to those institutions
