Who is delusional?

Posted by someone on Facebook:
There is no way that a gun confiscation would ever work in the US because;
1. People will simply refuse to turn them in.
 2. They don't have enough jail space for the 100 million plus people that would outright refuse to turn in their guns.
3. Most of the police would refuse to enforce the law.
4. Even the liberal Justices on the Supreme Court would find such a law unconstitutional. After all, the Supreme Court has already found that the right to keep and bear arms in an individual right and not a collective one
 5. The government has no idea how many guns there really are in the US or who has them. How could they ever possibly know if they got them all?
 6. Criminals, by their very nature, would refuse to turn in their guns even if every law-abiding citizen did.
The fact that the anti-gun crowd thinks that they could ever confiscate every gun in the US is a sure sign that they are seriously delusional.

1) There are already some states, counties, and cities that have requested gun owners to turn in their guns - with amazingly generous results! Yes, people willingly took their guns to the local police station and turned in their firearms!

2) They won't need jail space! Those that refuse will be systematically SHOT! All under the disguise of being labeled 'terrorists', justifiable homicide, or reasonable force.
3) This reasoning is simply ludicrous! Look around at the increasing police brutality. We ARE in a POLICE state! They kill indiscriminately and 99% of the time suffer NO consequences.
4) This is also ludicrous! If the Justices on the Supreme Court cared AT ALL about the people and the Constitution - The people of our country would NOT be fighting for our RIGHTS, FREEDOMS, and LIBERTIES!
5) It doesn't matter how many guns are in the hands of the American citizens. When the government bans all firearms those with firearms will be SHOT! See 2) above!
6) Why do the cities with the strictest gun laws have the most gun crime? Washington, DC; Los Angeles, CA; New York City, NY; Chicago, IL - If criminals cared about gun laws they wouldn't have them in the FIRST place! See 2) above!
Remind me again WHO is delusional?

Justice System?

Is this the New World Order for human trafficking?

Define Slavery

- a condition compared to that of a slave in respect of exhausting labor or restricted freedom.

Define Servitude

- the state of being a slave or completely subject to someone more powerful.

A private prison or for-profit prison is a place in which individuals are physically confined or incarcerated by a third party that is contracted by a government agency.

"The private prison industry has promoted policies and practices that increase the number of people who enter and stay in prison."

"By contractually requiring states to guarantee payment for a large percentage of prison beds, the prison companies are able to protect themselves against fluctuations in the prison population."

Oklahoma has three contracts with a 98% occupancy guarantee provision, while a couple of Louisiana’s contracts contain occupancy requirements at 96%, and Virginia has, at least, one at 95%.

All major prison companies, CCA, GEO Group, and Management and Training Corporation (MTC), have been successful in negotiating prison quotas in contracts. Side note: GEO Group is owned and operated by MTC!

What does this mean? Convictions are for sale!

 Now does it make sense that a non-violent offender is sentenced to more time in prison than a violent offender! The violent offender, if released, has a higher chance of re-offending and being returned to prison! The state can then claim they are 'adhering' to the law by showing acceptable 'turn over' rates.

Colorado has experienced a sizable reduction in its prison population. In the past decade, the crime rate has dropped by a third, and since 2009, five prisons have been closed.

The state projects that two to ten additional prisons could close in the near future, depending on the size of the facilities chosen.

This decrease in prison population propelled CCA, which operates three private prisons in the state, to take action. Last year, CCA negotiated the insertion of a bed guarantee provision in the state budget for all three of its facilities for the 2013 fiscal year.

Even though all three contracts for these facilities include explicit language specifying that "the state does not guarantee any minimum number of offenders will be assigned to the contractors’ facility," the company (CCA) was able to circumvent the contracting process and mandate occupancy guarantees long after the contract was negotiated and signed.

All three contracts require the state to fill or compensate the company for every available bed. Yes, that would be a 100% occupancy, whether they have 'criminals' to put in the beds or not!

According to a 2012 Vera Institute of Justice study, the number of those incarcerated has increased by over 700% over the last four decades (40 years). The cost? $39 billion.

Where does all this money come from?
YOUR taxes!

The information found here is just the tip of the iceberg as to what is really going on. Most prisons have some sort of 'work program' in which inmates are allowed to 'work' for far below minimum wage, the average being around 0.78 cents per hour, while the private prison rakes in the cash (reports are as high as $70,000 from one contract) from contracts in which they agree to supply laborers (yes, inmates!)! Starting to sound pretty close to slavery!

UPDATE: Why do we even have prisons? Why is America incarcerating its own people when the Government is releasing known criminals into our society?

Overall, ICE released 30,558 criminal aliens in fiscal year 2014, which is down from the 36,007 criminals released a year before (2013).

...there are 820,000 illegal aliens in the United States with criminal convictions, including 690,000 illegal aliens currently residing on U.S. soil who have been convicted of a felony or “serious” misdemeanor.

Why are there two  'justice systems' in America? 

We have one set of laws on the books, but there are two legal systems: One for the rich and powerful, and one for everyone else. It’s not equal justice when a kid gets thrown in jail for stealing a car, while a CEO gets a huge raise when his company steals billions. Want to see the rigged game in action? 

Colorado Exposure laws

This is outrageous! Laws are FAR to broad.

COLORADO

Define Lewd

crude and offensive in a sexual way. (Who has the final say in whether an act is crude or offensive?)

inclined to, characterized by, or inciting to lust or lechery; lascivious.

obscene or indecent, as language or songs; salacious.

* 18-7-301. Public indecency.

(1) Any person who performs any of the following in a public place or where the conduct may reasonably be expected to be viewed by members of the public commits public indecency:

(a) An act of sexual intercourse; or

(b) An act of deviate sexual intercourse; or

(c) A lewd exposure of the body done with intent to arouse or to satisfy the sexual desire of any person; or

(d) A lewd fondling or caress of the body of another person.

(2) Public indecency is a class 1 petty offense.* 18-7-302 – Indecent exposure.

(1) A person commits indecent exposure if he knowingly exposes his genitals to the view of any person under circumstances in which such conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm to the other person.

(2) (a) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2003, p. 1435, § 31, effective July 1, 2003.)

(b) Indecent exposure is a class 1 misdemeanor.

(4) Indecent exposure is a class 6 felony if the violation is committed subsequent to two prior convictions of a violation of this section or of a violation of a comparable offense in any other state or in the United States, or of a violation of a comparable municipal ordinance.

* The plain language of this offense reflects the general assembly's intent to make public indecency a strict liability crime without a culpable mental state. Because this section makes it a crime to perform any of the stated acts where the conduct may reasonably be expected to be viewed by members of the public, it does not matter whether the defendant knew he was in a public place. The objective standard depends on what a reasonable person in the defendant's position should have known. Therefore, the trial court did not err in rejecting a jury instruction that would have required the jury to find the defendant knew he was in a public place. People v. Hoskay, 87 P.3d 194 (Colo. App. 2003).

WOW! Let's look at (1) (c) Does this mean that people who like nice shoes can be subjected to prosecution if they 'arouse' another person who has a foot/shoe fetish? Knowing that at least one person they see in a day, while in public, could have a foot fetish.
And (1) (d) Does that mean it is illegal to hug another person in public? Or only if another person witnessing the hug is offended and believes it is in a lewd manner?

What about swim suits? Spandex clothing? Anything that 'could' arouse another person? Are they a violation of (1) (2)?

Corruption uncovered at MDSP

A "meeting" with the parole board is anything but...
The truth behind the facade called a parole board meeting is: the inmate meets with one (1) member of the parole board who then makes a recommendation to the other members before a determination on parole is made.

When that person is a former or current PROSECUTING attorney; how could anyone EVER think that person is going to be fair and impartial?

Allowing unsubstantiated allegations, that could not be proved because they NEVER happened, to be a guide for allowing or denying parole is NOT "serving justice"!

Penalties for making false accusations need to increase. That accusation stays on the record of the accused to be used against them later, regardless of whether the accusation is true or not, regardless of whether the accusation is substantiated or not! 

False reports made by an investigator from allegation from a family member needs to be seen for what they are – a conflict of interest. These types of "reporting" should never happen. It is far to easy for family members to believe unbelievable/outrageous accusations simple because they hear it from a family member.

Mike Durfee State Prison (MDSP)  is refusing to allow a veteran, on 100% disability, to get the medical attention he desperately NEEDS. 

The "doctors" provided by the prisons do NOT care about the inmate patients! The inmate can't call those "doctors" at 2AM and talk about a problem they are having, like they could with their real doctor!

This veteran has requested and been told/required by a  judge that they are to report to the VA Center for therapy, this person has set this up twice only to have the STATE deny him the ability to comply with the court order!

Why/When/How did prisons get the authority to OVER RULE a judge?

Psychological Abuse

Psychological abuse, also referred to as emotional abuse or mental abuse, is a form of abuse characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another to behavior that may result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. 

The psychological abuses the prison staff, including case managers, inflicts on the inmates has to stop! Poking the inmates with a stick and then threatening them with a non-compliance write up when they react, as any/all humans would do, is nothing short of torture. What do I mean?

• Lying to inmates.
• Stealing their phone money and charging exorbitant rates for them to talk on the phone.
• Treating them like second class citizens. Talking to them as though they don't have thoughts, feelings, and are not allowed to react to their environment.
• Labeling them as dirt-bags, violent persons, and/or worthless
• Removing their ability to receive money from family for necessary commissary items while incarcerated. 

Every time the above mentioned inmate has "complied" with requests from MDSP they have been screwed. This person was told by a MDSP representative that they were going to enact 4 months of their suspended time, which they signed (agreed to), under threat of a non-compliance write-up, only to have them change it to 6 months, without proper legal actions! Which brings us to how can the prison over rule a judge and enact suspended time in the first place?

Every request is presented to the inmate as "optional" but if the inmate verbally questions the legality or wording of the paper or refuse to sign the paper they are threatened with a non-compliance write-up! What difference does that make? That should be obvious! If an inmate has a certain number of write-ups, regardless of what those write-ups are for it makes the inmate ineligible for parole!

Isn't it ironic that prison staff are committing far worse crimes than the inmates they are supposed to be supervising!

What exactly are you teaching inmates? I will tell you:

• you are teaching them that working in the prison industry, after its privatization, puts you above the laws that every one in society is supposed to abide by!
• if you have a family member that works for a prison you can behave as though you own the world
• legal is just a word used to support the pretense that what you are doing is just/right/acceptable
• freedom, civil rights, and liberty mean NOTHING in America!

That ladies and gentlemen is incorrectly called rehabilitation!
