I don’t hate. I don’t hate anyone. I don’t hate cops. I don’t hate Trump. I don’t hate Nazis. My beliefs are composed thus: First, that we should help each other. And second, that we should protect one another. I never want to see anyone get hurt. I never want to see good people, standing up for what they believe in, gunned down in the street. What we all saw happen to Renee Good and Alex Pretti is my worst nightmare. It was the kind of thing I had feared for a long time, after dealing with officers who could…

I don’t know…
Read more about Dario Sanchez here. At first, my incarceration was the same as everyone else’s. Isolation, in a dirty cell. After my bond was lowered and I was released, they pull a bait & switch at a hearing to add conditions to my release. They indicted me on a second charge and sent me to jail for labor day weekend. While I was in booking for two days, I heard a young, disabled man in an isolated cell scream and beg for his parents for hours at a time. I can still feel the thump of his body against…
