These people get put in prison, we “teach them” how to build a life after….then don’t have anything set up for them to not come back to jail. It’s like they set these people up to fail….seems like only the lucky ones make a life past jail and don’t go back

The older woman has the thickest baltimore accent ever. Just missin the hon!
– a fellow baltimoron. 😂
A baltimore accent is VERY different to other places in maryland.. like by the eastern shore (cambridge/Salisbury) they have a heavy country accent..
If youre from here you know that. Almost every county here has its own accent 😂😂

She didn't cause tax payers a million dollars, the prison system did. Locking people up for crimes is fruitless. punishment is fruitless and made for only YOUR satisfaction. It has nothing to do with healing the criminal and addressing WHY they do what they do. So you can ef off.

I remember when I got released from prison, I was feelingjust like Jessie. "Lots of choices, lots of freedom, and I was scared to make the wrong ones." And I did. I relapsed not even 48 hours after getting out. The freedom was too much for me to handle responsibly. I risked going back to prison but after a mental breakdown and subsequent detox (i had a trusted sober friend stay with me for a week at my house who comforted me when I was enduring the worst, God bless them) I am now 5 months sober. Its not easy at all but the support system I have gets me through my toughest days. One day at a time.

There is no Rehabilitation they feed those prisoners GMO poison, the prison industrial complex receives a million dollars in taxpayer money wasting it on Superfluous b******, if I had a million dollars I could live a way better life for 40 years than being in that place with nice food, it's all bulshit schemes, if they would feed organic food there might be a chance people will get out and want to do something with their life, that lady just been eating poison she's 53 looks old as s**

Government prefers to put people "in the system" and give them a record and a felony than actual reform. It's a dirty and deceptive way they use to ensure their own interests and to strip more people from their constitutional rights especially the second amendment. It also ensures the perpetual need for us us to believe we" need" them to protect us from the "bad guys".

Do your homework, Meryl Streep.
Kathleen Dunbar, third grade teacher, Welches Grade School through 1983.
Beth Gibbons of Portishead.
Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Jennifer Ehle of Zero Dark Thirty-one And A Half or whatever.
Diane Sawyer.
Who dated Henry Kissinger.
Who is Ron Wyden (D) Oregon.
Senate.
On the Senate Intelligence Committee.
And Steny Hoyer (D) Maryland.
House of Representatives.
You're conducting this interview in
… Maryland.
Oh wow.
Surprise, surprise.
And you're Kristen Gillibrand (D) New York, Senate as well, I see.
Kind of par for the course, really, at this point.
Erryone's got to be a Senate and House of Representatives member at the same time.
Everyone who is corrupt.
You, Henry Kissinger, Guy Ritchie.
I haven't even bothered to look to see who else.
But that's you.
Kristen Gillibrand.
(D) New York.
Senate.
On the Senate Intelligence Committee.
With Henry Kissinger.
Who you dated.
I mean Ron Wyden.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Just kidding.
Nothing curious about it.
Just garden-variety corruption.
You guys are bad at this game, by the way.
Last job I had was at a f-cking gas station.
I have a high school education.
Oh and I figured out a practical way to get 2,200+ yards of effective range from a 20 inch barreled .308 Winchester-chambered rifle.
Military currently gets 1,124 yards until deceleration to Mach one at standard temperature and pressure.
(59° Fahrenheit and sea level.
that's 15° Celsius, if you need to flee the United States to avoid prosecution.
you'll want to be able to think in kilometers and Celsius.
2,200 yards is 12.8 yards past the two kilometer mark.
1.25 miles.)
1:17 that's you with different disguise apparatus on, Kathleen Dunbar.
Meryl Streep.
Beth Gibbons.
Karen O.
Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
Kristen Gillibrand.
Wanda Mansfield.
You are the reason that I had to survive more than two murder attempts.
You are the reason that I am a self-taught expert on causing mechanical damage to self-contained biological systems at ranges thought by most to be impossible to cause these results at.
Yes.
I just ended my sentence with a preposition.
You are the reason that it was practical for Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie to murder Patricia Sweany.
You remember her.
Tia Schisler's mom.
Tia Schisler was class of 1989.
Lake was class of 1990.
Zac was class of 1991.
I was class of 1992.
We met again in 1992 in California.
Not by accident.
You were Jennifer Ehle.
You remember Gabe.
I remember Gabe as well.
You're corrupt.
He is not.
Funny how we all find one another again.
Isn't it.
You are the reason that I cannot raise my son.
You are what is wrong with this country.
You are the reason for opiate trafficking.
You did this to me.
You turned me into this person.
I am one of the most dangerous individuals in this entire country.
I was someone else.
I was a father.
I had a family.
Now all I want is to put people in the f-cking ground or in orange jumpsuits.
Because of you all I want is to put corrupt high-ranking intelligence operatives in the
f-cking
ground.
Or in orange jumpsuits.
Guess which one I prefer.
Did you know.
Hold up.
I have to collect my sh-t.
It's like the beginning to a good joke.
Did you f-cking know that since I've been putting in work, that there are fewer sketchy deaths in Clackamas County, Oregon.
I am responsible more than any other single person that I am aware of for this.
You do the opposite.
The reason, ladies and gentlemen, that Meryl Streep is like this, is because she has been an opiate addict for decades now.
Has a selfish streak a mile wide.
Acquired sh-t-for-brains.
Cognitive dysfunction.
Which is why and how I have been able to catch you.
Everyone reads my posts in one form or another.
My audience has expanded.
What started off as your team's warrantless surveillance I leveraged into a worldwide audience.
This is how I reshape society.
By destroying any semblance of a reputation that you once had.
Permanently.

Good lord, the system ruined her only chance. They knew she needed her medication and they sent her out without it. I also questioned the family for not stepping in to get her to a doctor. This breaks my heart.

This girl was set up for failure! Yes I realize if you really want something then you can do it, but she was not even given her meds or a place to live. No wonder why so many people just released prison go back so quickly. There is no support system for them

At that point you might as well stay in. After all those years and the fact that you get free meals, free immediate health care. Not worth going outside. Not after almost 30 years.
