The original post was not about what the youngster did to get locked up, it was about the evil, criminal conduct of those who left their prisoner to die in the manner described.
Why is it that such discussions always turn to naming the offenses of the victim instead of responding to the topic of the brutality of either the police, or in this case, corrections officers? That is because you all most likely do not take offense to the conduct of the authorities.
If you are going to reply at all with forthrightness, don't chicken out and malign the dead. If you condone the conduct of the authorities, then why be afraid to just say so?
The original post was a rant on the evils of private prisons. Even though, in this particular case the prison was not private. Then the thread slammed the private contractor ACH for their incompetence and negligence, and deservedly so. However, what no one (other than myself) has taken into account was the reprehensible conduct of the prison guards, who are government employees of Madison County.
Why did they not check on Woods' condition? Why did they not feed him for the three days just before his death? As far as I am concerned, the government of Madison County is just as culpable for Woods death as ACH.
If I knew it to be wrong, no I would not have "done it." However, there was still a lot that I did not know was wrong at that age. For example, if an adult handed me a beer at that age, I would have drunk it because I did not know it was the wrong thing to do.
If your parents had told you "go ahead, it's O.K. take it" you would have taken it.

LOL! You obviously did not know the relationship I had with my parents. It is precisely when they told me it was okay that I trusted them the least. More often than not I was doing what they told me I should not be doing.
About the same time I was learning the concept of personal property (sometime between ages of 5 and 6), I was also informed that there was no such thing as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. That it was all an elaborate, and deliberate, lie played on children to teach them the very valuable lesson that no adult can be trusted to tell the truth - ever. It therefore became my responsibility to discern the truth for myself. A lesson that continues to serve me well today.
I am glad you were able to read his post, because I could not. I suspect that English is not bUU's first language, considering the atrocious grammar. I found the entire post to be completely incoherent.
I'm sorry that morality confuses you so much that you find the concept incomprehensible and feel compelled to blame your incomprehension on others instead of taking personal responsibility for your own failing.

That may have been what you meant to say, but that is not what you actually posted.
