Regression

Most of the time these days I embrace a slowly growing maturity, wisdom, evenhandedness, thoughtfulness, lovingkindness and fair minded worldview.  This vision of life is a severe departure from my infantile leftism and tunnel vision of years past.  But then there are things that hurl me back down the rabbit hole of youthful rage, fling me down through levels of consciousness, things that make me just want to shriek, "Cowards and Pigs!"

Is that Seattle correctional? Fucking crazy. But that is just the shit caught on tape...I am sure much worse goes down. Man, thanks for sharing and you are rightfully angered by such things. No way to maintain equinimity when watching that.

horrible.

That is truly horrible, but as Jeff said, that is probably the tiniest part of what goes on.

Happens in Spain too; a Brazilian friend of mine got arrested for no reason, beaten up, and had to pee in her cell. One cop in particular insulted her horribly and screamed nobody in Spain wanted her, and probably not in Brazil either (he was also the one who hit her). She said she had never heard anyone spewing so much hatred from their mouth.

Sad and angering to see such people holding such authority. Cowards and pigs, as you said.
