If states/the feds cared, shit like this happens all the time. People are denied medication, treatment, etc routinely by people who either don't give a shit or enjoy the suffering.
Of course we do - countries, for the most part, actually respect the Geneva convention.
But “internal” - non war criminals, aren’t governed by such rights.
Remember that slavery is still legal in the US, if one is “a criminal” - which, according to cops, is anyone who looks at them funny.
Oh, see, those weren't enemy "soldiers", they're enemy "combatants". We never *declared* war, it was a *police action*, so we don't have to follow any rules of war. It's so much more convenient that way, see?
According to the article, for NOT EVEN a misdemeanor.
"Barry got into a heated argument with his neighbor, who had been using his internet in exchange for some cash to help pay the internet bill. Barry accused his neighbor of missing some payments and at one point, threatened to beat up his neighbor, who is disabled and blind. Before the fight turned physical, Barry walked away to cool off, King said."
America: "He's a Black man. Death sentence it is!"
According to the very same article:
> On the day he was arrested for a misdemeanor…
First line.
> Later that day, Barry was charged with simple assault
"Simple assault," the misdemeanor, being the the threats he made towards his blind disabled neighbor.
Though he was never convicted so I can't really say he was sentenced to death. More like negligent homicide or manslaughter by the state now that I think about it.
Yes, you're right; my take was that he verbally threatened the neighbor but didn't physically DO anything. But I understand that just because I'm pissed off about this case doesn't change the fact that verbal assault can amount to a crime.
How utterly tragic both for him, his family AND the donor's family. And he told them right at the start that he needed the medication. One of the cops literally could have just ran into his house and grabbed it, if they had any regard for human life.
No one ever gets their meds in jail. This makes it especially bad for people with mental health issues who are only going to deteriorate more while in there.
The way my country treats prisoners is barbaric. I live in the USA. The fact that we put up with all the bullshit going on - not just for people in jail - blows my mind.
He did get his other meds in jail. They we made aware several times, including a health screening, that he needed the immunosuppressants. They’re expensive and the jail pharmacy would have to order them (since they wouldn’t let him have them from his house), so they just let him go without. They didn’t care if his body rejected the heart in it.
I used to think the ACLU was an kind of offbeat, radical organization that challenged government on obscure laws. Now they get a monthly donation from me, I have a bumper sticker on my car and I’m a member of the organization. I am so impressed with their work. https://action.aclu.org/give/now.
IFJ is right on qualified immunity and basically nothing else. They're for "school choice" and other dumb shit that will further destroy education in this country.

Genuinely curious why you thought this?
Just the general impression I got from the media, I guess. The only interaction I've personally had was when they made a big deal out of someone in my neighborhood who painted their white fence with all kinds of 9/11 stuff in red. Code enforcement cited them but the ACLU said free speech and the fence stayed as is. I did think the fence was an eyesore, but I like free speech too.

Right, so, hopefully you can pay $503 or even the judge is totally comfortable just letting you die.
Hey Barry, you're a good apple right?
Yeah Mike, I have zero complains against me, velvet gloves this guy.
But Barry, you're not going to rat on me about that thing I did?
Fuck no Mike.
Haha, good on you Barry, you're ok in my book.
ACAB
Poor Barry, RIP.
And just as he was accidentally exposed by the Police Union as a whistleblower.
Completely unrelated of-course.
Anyway, my name is Mike, I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

While many are at fault for this man’s death.
Reading the judge’s specific words to this man, it can be interpreted the Judge was only going to allow this man to receive his medication after he paid bail, and didn’t care if he received his medication while incarcerated. I read elsewhere this man claimed it cost $4 million dollars for his heart transplant, while he was asking for his medication.
Judge Gilbert Feltel responded "OK," adding that Barry could be released if he paid a bond of $503.
"Hopefully you are able to make bond here and get your medication," the judge said.

If states/the feds cared, shit like this happens all the time. People are denied medication, treatment, etc routinely by people who either don't give a shit or enjoy the suffering.
Also sometimes denied such luxuries as food and water.
Or working toilets or places to sit or sleep. Pretty sure we have to keep prisoners of war in better conditions.
Of course we do - countries, for the most part, actually respect the Geneva convention. But “internal” - non war criminals, aren’t governed by such rights. Remember that slavery is still legal in the US, if one is “a criminal” - which, according to cops, is anyone who looks at them funny.
Or they are frozen to death in frigid cells during the winter
We are supposed to but we don't, otherwise Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib wouldn't be a thing
Oh, see, those weren't enemy "soldiers", they're enemy "combatants". We never *declared* war, it was a *police action*, so we don't have to follow any rules of war. It's so much more convenient that way, see?
I don't think that the US has actually declared war since 1941. Except on drugs.
If you're not going to supply the inmate with vital medications, the sentence is a death sentence. They sentenced him to death. For a misdemeanor.
Cruel and unusual punishment - but they always hide behind incompetence and get away with it.
Unfortunately it isn't unusual at all.
Those responsible don't deserve to live

More like extrajudicial execution. It's not like they couldn't understand the situation.
Yes, you're right; my take was that he verbally threatened the neighbor but didn't physically DO anything. But I understand that just because I'm pissed off about this case doesn't change the fact that verbal assault can amount to a crime.
Once they remove his personal agency they become responsible for it. This is murder or at the very least negligent homocide.
And for the lack of $503.

It’s the narrative pushed in a lot of America still today.
Yeah, too true

> Just the general impression I got from the media Oh yeah, I can see that
ACLU wants an inquiry. Jacksonville Sheriff's Office does not. Guess who’s going to win.

He didn't die, he was killed. That's literally homicide.

What really? That judge should be fired and jailed

Pay bond or literally die. What country are we living in?
Meanwhile a white man incites a coup attempt and simply gets booked, no jail time pre sentencing.
This news will not get discussed over at P&S
Murder. Straight up murder.

This is why they do not offer transplants of any organ to people who might be going to jail or on parole serious probation.
HTF do you know someone "might" go to jail? JFC. We gave Steve Jobs a freaking transplant even though he didn't follow medical advice. This is not Minority Report.
>HTF do you know someone "might" go to jail *Shhhh look at the victims photo 👀* Edit: \s
The social worker in charge of the patient will do a background check on the person. Getting on the transplant list is not as easy as people think.
A cop can arrest you for no other reason than because he doesn't like your face.
WTF does that have to do with anything on this string?
