In the interest of fairness, and to extend an apology to Slaveboy, there are many lifestyles, orientations, and the like represented here. I was not trying to imply that he has gay or transgendered - but even if he was that wouldnt matter. My point was simply that he appears delicate - perhaps in an effeminate way, perhaps in a yuppie way, etc. He is what the knuckle dragging neaderthals with badges I was referring to would label as unable to hold his own on a cell block and if given attitude they would capitalize on that by throwing him into a tank that he would have a hell of a time defending himself in. There have been numerous articles about such incidents in the chronicle. In one a 17 year old black youth was tossed in with the white supremecists so as to "integrate" the jail... There was a widely reported case in which a minor offendor - petty theft or something - with an attitude they did not like was thrown in with the wrong crowd and was repeatedly raped until he had need for a temporary iliestomy. The article indicated that the deputies knew this would happen as they told him something like "you want to be a pain in the ass youre going to know what pain in the ass is"
I apologize to slaveboy - my question to him was not a personal attack as indicated by my saying "I dont know your orientation slaveboy, and I do not mean this in an insulting way but you appear in my opinion slightly effeminante." I was simply trying to point out that if I saw him as non-formidable and pehaps less able to defend himself than say the gnarly offshore oil worker, the street gang member, the biker, or the like this is a perception the police would have and would potentially capitalize on during cell assignment as another form of abuse on those they felt were smart assing off to them. (Smart assing being defined as daring to assert the rights that they choose to ignore)
I accept your apology, and like I said I wasn't offended. I didn't really understand how you came to that conclusion. I'm not a tattooed, scruffy looking dude but I'm certainly not a nancy boy. But, no harm no foul.
The reason the police don't do things like that to people like me is because I'm an educated, white, anglo-saxon, protestant. Police know better than to pull that kind of crap with someone like me. But they shouldn't pull that with any citizen. The reason they do is because no one complains. We are members of our communities. When the police do these things to anyone, we should all be down in our city halls or county courts raising hell. Being a member of a democratic-republic requires dilligence and a demand for justice for all people, not just the affluent members of society.
