Thats what you took away from this story? Really?

That some transportation guards were reportedly jerks. If tossing a sandwhich just outside of arms reach is cruel and unusual punishment to you, must not have had older siblings.

People are jerks sometimes. These kids, had a lot more than an out of reach sandwhich coming to them.



That’s the most spirited defense I’ve seen of denying food to prisoners, congratulations?


And yours is the most missing the forest for the trees I've ever seen. Congrats.


Can you please run us through the upsides of normalizing and supporting dehumanization and torture?

This is the first time I’ve read that conduct legally ruled cruel and unusual punishment and used by authoritarian regimes around the world is actually a loving act of kindness, so I’m very curious about how youve reached that conclusion.

In the same vein, do you also believe victims in abusive relationships that the violence towards them is their fault, and that their abusers are doing it out of love?


Sure.

Your definition of torture is a guard tossed a sandwich out of arms reach for a 3 hour ride because he's a jerk.

I rest my case.


Why should we not treat all people humanely?
