02IndianSpiritRider Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Associated Press reports: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts. On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before. Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks. "It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzo't, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's inhumane." Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouths. " KIND OF PUTS THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE DOESN'T IT? YA GOTTA LOVE THIS SHERIFF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troglodyte Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I thought you said you were done with politics? If this story is true, then I like this sherrif as much as I like Sheffif Joe Arpayo of Maricopa County. And, please don't confuse Liberals with pussy bitches on the Left who need something to whine about just to get attention. I think you would admit that Eric Rudolph doesn't represent everyone on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
