    Ok Texas, I can’t drive through without seeing at least a dozen bumper stickers advocating death to pedophiles. Put your money where your mouth is.

      That’s just the PC way of saying death to gays but they gotta lie about us first to make it more palatible. They give 0 shits about kids and never have

        I probably pay too much attention to people’s vehicular social media posts. It’s like reading soap bottles while on the commode.

          I spent three hours driving fifteen miles through Austin last weekend. Do not talk to me about traffic. I am become traffic, destroyer of road trip timetables.

      That’s some insanely quick processing time, too! I was once picked up and just getting processed took an hour! Once the bail bondsman posted my bail they STILL made me sit an hour before finally deciding to let me out.

      What kind of privileged BS is this? And mine was a misdemeanor!

        I did some clinical rotations at a correctional facility, and holy shit I did not realize how long processing took some people (30 min is insanely short). I was in a pretty calm city, and there were people there still in the waiting area from the day before consistently who the officers would come down on hard if they dared show frustration. Usually low-level non-violent crimes (there’s always like 3-4 people a shift who can do nothing but gossip about those being processed. Most were possession or DUI in my time there), and always just the absolute bare minimum work from the prison staff. No officer I met gave a single shit about picking up the pace when it was needed, and they certainly didn’t give a shit about the people being processed. It felt like it was being run by highschool bullies. The final straw was watching a doctor argue for far to long about how they absolutely had to send a seizing patient to the hospital, regardless of the fact he went last week.

        My short time there convinced me there was nothing I could do as a single nurse in a facility like that, it’s already rotted through.

    Well, it’s Texas, after all. Why would anybody be surprised? The same happens when they shoot someone, especially a person of color.
