He might be a little harsh, but the people of Arizona adore him. Arpaio has been reelected 4 (soon to be 5) times in a row. America has grown soft, and we need more folks like Joe Arpaio.

What.

She was found burnt to a crisp.

The man has no respect for the law. There is no sentence in Arizona or elsewhere that can get you tortured. You have to kill someone to get the death penalty. This man is the worst sheriff I have ever heard of. We have a justice system for a reason, you know. Cruel and unusual punishment is strictly forbidden in the bill of rights, and this man went and did it anyway. This man should be in prison, not running one.

Y'know, inconsiderate jerks who take the last slice of pizza are a problem, too. We should have them drawn and quartered. Maybe that sounds a bit harsh, but how else are we supposed to deter people from being rude? I mean, okay, sometimes there are as many people as there are slices of pizza, or somebody's just not eaten all day. But I feel like these are niche cases. America has gotten too used to accommodating them - we're letting all sorts of people get away with this travesty as a result. It's time we, as a society, toughened up and started doing justice with our pizza etiquette.

To be fair, Marcia Powell didn't die in Arpaio's prison. There are plenty of other cases to point to but not that one.

The biggest problem with him is he loves high profile, political bullshit and totally ignores actual law enforcement or, you know, the law.

Like not bothering to chase up sex crimes or entirely ignoring civil rights legislation while making headlines for pink underwear and creating a celebrity rich posse.

In El Mirage alone, where Arpaio’s office was providing contract police services, officials discovered at least 32 reported child molestations — with victims as young as 2 — in which the sheriff’s office failed to follow through, even though suspects were known in all but six cases. [...]

Ooh, I'll be able to vote this year, is Ralph Nader running? I guess not, dammit.

Joe, like Jack Bauer, does what's needed to be done.

Are you seriously suggesting that law enforcement officials should exercise what amounts to vigilante justice in order to torture and sometimes result in the death of inmates regardless of what their sentence actually says? Is this what you're suggesting, or are you just trolling us?

I think "Show Posts" will tell you all you need to know on that front.

I remember him admitting to trolling in the Capital Punishment thread after saying all drug users should be executed. I'd link to one of the posts, but the relevant ones were deleted about a week ago, it seems.

Here's someone quoting the relevant post, though.

I thought being a Mötley Crüe fan and advocating executions for drug users (while winking...) would have tipped you guys off that I was joking. Or that my 1st post in this thread advocated killing juveniles and the mentally ill, while praising Vlad the Impaler and Draco.

I've read FSTDT too much. Nice troll, though, you got me.

Plus... Joe Arpaio.

I'll be honest, on that front:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Because I've talked with people who honestly believe stuff as bad or worse than that. OTOH, the lack of posts on these topics before 23 Dec makes me suspect the former.

Yes I do know people who advocate far worse seriously. And Fox News has been gushing over Arpaio and who he would endorse in the presidential race.

How do you feel about supporting an openly racist embezzler?

[G-Flex]

And are you seriously calling inmates being made to wear pink underwear and watch the weather channel torture?

I really don't think that's what anyone here is talking about.


I can't even bring myself to respond to the rest of what you said. Not at the moment, anyway. Apparently you're not much of a fan of civil rights of the accused, though.

[Capntastic]

Some people just think that anyone who breaks any law should be dehumanized and tortured.  Obviously its not correct, but it's just how some people think.

Personally, I was referring to sticking someone out to 'burn to a crisp' when that wasn't what they were sentenced to. (Because that is unconstitutional.)

Except it's also unconstitutional on a number of fronts, and since he was talking about "police", he presumably means people only suspected of having broken the law as well.
