WILL THE REAL JOHN Q. PUBLIC PLEASE STAND UP!

I'm not saying this guy, "John Q. Public", is a guard:  But I wanted you to read his words.  They are a perfect example of the reasoning of people who somewhere inside don't recognise nor understand their own angry hypocrisy.

Subject: Are you kidding me?

First off how do I get off this mailing list? I guess I jumped the gun signing up, I read one article and joined but so far the only things I have received are socialist bleeding heart propaganda.

Have you checked lately what percentage of these “darling victims” in prison has a record of continual crimes? While I will agree it is terrible that some innocent people are convicted of crimes; do you have a better solution?

From the looks of your website it appears that you think all the prisoners are poor little victims!

There are many of us out there that believe if you break the law you should be sent to prison, put to work PRODUCING something for society, given 3 meals a day, and no cable TV, no movies, no luxury items. As I said to the poor victim drug dealer Sharif abdule hamed whatever, they made a choice which said fuck off to the American People by breaking the law. 

As I see it they owe the American People at least $30K a year for us to support them. Sharif owes America and myself $300,000 dollars for 10 years. Once he pays that back then I would be glad to give him a job.

I really hope one day soon, America will wake up and take some fucking personal responsibility and demand that everyone else does the same. We can then return to a society free of "victims" and where one is  rewarded for their hard work and if you don't work hard, you get what you paid for.

Sincerely,
John Q. Public

RESPONSE TO JOHN Q.

Are YOU trying to kid ME?  You believe everyone should demand that everyone else take their responsibility?   If you really believed that, John Q, you and I would be working on the same team! 

A. If everyone owned responsibility, including those in positions of authority, the churches would be left with no ministers, the prisons would be left with no guards, and you, John Q, would be left with no leaders to think for you.

B. In Florida the prisoners are not given much opportunity to produce anything but anger and disease.

C. Prison is worse than you describe it, absolutely no luxuries, few necessities, no safety, dangerous medical neglect and often not even three meals a day.  Your getting ripped off big time if you really believe anyone is spending $30K a year on a prisoner's keep.

D. Sharif et al owe you nothing!  He paid his debt. You chose the laws that made consensual activities criminal. You can darn well pay the bill (Own your responsibility, remember?)

E. If you looked at my website then you know that my statement is loud and clear: that there are real and violent criminals in positions of authority! I know that. You know that. And the unprofessional guards know that!

F. Is it only socialist bleeding heart liberals who don't see with double standards? Who don't make dirty words out of qualities like compassion and common sense?  who have any sense of the evil of reality and want to change it?  Then I thank the energy that is my spirit that I am what you disapprove of.

G.   You are lacking a lot of knowledge and that is the source of your anger, punitive, belligerent, attitude.  Now, whether you are stupid or not depends.  Like my dad always said, "The cure for ignorance is knowledge.  There is no cure for stupid."     If you reject knowledge, I pray you do NOT represent John Q. Public!.

H. You are not in my address book so you'll have to get off whatever list we both are on, because I'm not leaving.  As long as there are people on list who do not get it yet but want to, I am here to stay!
