Detainee says guards bet on suicide
Like other detainees, Ramsingh said that between cleanings the rooms, restrooms and showers were often filthy and infested with insects. He said detainees stole others’ food because everyone was hungry due to the small and sometimes inedible meals, which led to fights, and the conditions took a toll on his mental health.
At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome. The talk was particularly jarring, he said, because he had contemplated suicide himself.
This is a sign of the complete moral failure of our society. AP report. apnews.com/article/suic...

Unfathomably massive, life critical news that 97% of people won’t know because of the cretins who own and operate the mainstream news.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.
Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Contributor: The human cost of gun violence in America
The power of the short film 'All the Empty Rooms' lies in simply showing the bedrooms of children killed in school shootings.
Our hero Coach Steve Kerr knows the human cost of gun violence, and he is a deeply powerful voice for change in our movement.
He is also an executive producer of the Academy Award nominated @netflix.com documentary All the Empty Rooms. Read about his experience of its content in @latimes.com

This is the exact same Guy you could find 2,000 years ago as a Roman senator gleefully listing the number of Germani slain and sold into slavery, 900 years ago exulting in the sack of Jerusalem, or 100 years ago celebrating 500 yards taken on the Western Front. Timeless chickenhawk scum.

All The Empty Rooms | Official Trailer | Netflix
YouTube video by Netflix
ALL THE EMPTY ROOMS is only 35 minutes long. I teared up several times. A powerful short film. An important film.
News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp embark on a multi-year journey documenting the empty bedrooms of children lost to school shootings.
Absolutely gutting.
