were sitting together, restrained
Greg Reinke, another inmate, slipped out of his handcuffs, pulled a homemade blade out of his socks and began stabbing the men
Correctional officers stayed behind a closed door, allegedly laughing and debating letting the men die
Guards entered the area after one of the victims got out of his cuffs and tackled Reinke to the ground
The lawsuit, filed by Pugh and Lee, allege that officers strip-searched the four men but not Reinke and either gave him a key to his cuffs or knew he had one
Reinke was sentenced to 54 years for the attack and is currently on a hunger strike, saying he is being mistreated by guards

WTF is wrong with America?

Disgusting. Never mind suing them, they should be prosecuted for negligence or something. I saw the way the officers strolled in after the event - no sense of urgency at all.

In a word, southerners.

Things would be different if we could set the south adrift.

Negligence is not an element in criminal law. Look up res ipsa loquitur.

Yep, southern Ohio is just across the river from Kentucky and West Virginia. The City of Cincinnati, for example, is as redneck as they come. That prison is just east of there.

The US is a banana republic. Racist to the core from Virginia to Texas, it has no democracy and no rule of law...as we are seeing right now.
