Look, maybe it’s just me, but these are CRIMINALS-it’s very hard have empathy for murderers, rapists, bank robbers, etc.

Not every person in prison is a murderer, rapist, bank robber.
Hopefully you will never be involved in an accident where someone dies..you could end up drinking poisoned water yourself.

They may be criminals but they are also wards of the state. If they get sick the taxpayer pays. It’s very hard to have empathy for knee jerk reactions that are just wrong.

Nice to see Blue back. And in rare form. Supporting poisoning prisoners with unclean water. Perhaps that should also apply to brainless twits that post online.
