You're implying that because I believe an impenetrable wall of ladders and tables poses a threat to public safety that should be addressed by police... what now? I'm trying to follow and keep going back to our previous exchanges in this thread but I'm having a difficult time connected the two situations. My belief that police should address the wall of ladders at parades means that I shouldn't care about the exploitation of inmates? Can you spell out how these two ideas are connected?

No, it's just the most marginalized group in this conversation. That's the way it works for those beating their chests and gnashing their teeth over the bright and sparkly distractions of "marginalized groups". Whatever group is the topic at that moment is the "most marginalized group in America".

Ok. I have a history of posting threads like this that spotlight corruption in our carceral system, but you obviously are free to say whatever you want.

You have a history of being distracted by symptoms over root causes, again, because you don't care why something happens.

I've already told you why it happens. It's impossible to separate the "why" from the actual events. This doesn't happen in schools when a school nurse calls a parent to pick up a sick kid. Society would never allow that.

Those questions weren't attacks nor emotional insults

Asking someone if they aren't bright enough to understand something is generally considered insulting, since it looks like you didn't know that.

No, I'm using those words and your posting history to show to you how you are so easily distracted by ancillary issues and why those issues will never get fixed (ie: because they aren't root causes).

Impossible for you, I've already demonstrated otherwise.

Because schools aren't prisons and kids in schools aren't there because they have been convicted of a crime which demands incarceration.

And yet you still haven't answered any of those questions. Your avoidance of direct answers to any of them is answer enough to justify the wording of the question. In other words, I purposely dangled another superficial, emotional hook to see if you were smart enough to not bite on it at the same time I'm telling you that your problem is that you are easily attracted by superficial, emotional hooks... and once again you chomp on it and attempt to swallow it whole.

And you somehow think that proves your mental acumen?
