What in the hell is a "restorative justice practitioner?"

There is always Monrovia or Liberia.

I think he means that all those awful laws need to be waived so blacks can do what they want and not have to be punished. Sort of like the platinum version of the race card.

Inmates are always viewed as dangerous for good reason. Some years ago we had a local female prison guard raped and murdered by a “non threatening” inmate who had been a trustee for some 15 years with no disciplinary actions on his record.

She let her guard down and let the situation get out of her control.

You don’t think that a certain someone won’t pardon each and every minority in prison, jail, probation or parole before he leaves office?

So, we should legalize those tings the author thinks are part of being black, like armed robbery, murder, drug dealing? What actions, exactly, does “being black” represent?

I’m kind of curious about what this John Lash guy was in prison for.

In fact, the author seems to be making a racist comment that blacks can’t help being criminals because they are black, so we should just legalize crimes black people commit.

John Lash did time for murder. Apparently he's a real sweetheart.

John Lash On Restorative Justice, Youth and Adult Prisons

In 1985, at the age of 18, I was sentenced to life in prison for murder. I was sent to Georgia Industrial Institute, commonly known as Alto, after the nearby town. Throughout the system at that time Alto had a reputation for violence. Though I was tried and convicted as an adult, this prison was designed for “youthful offenders.” Only a handful of prisoners were over the age of 22, and many had arrived there at ages 14 – 17.

In other words, his pathetic ass got a break and he was sent to a juvenile prison despite being an adult.

We created the welfare state with these intentions, why would we change it now?

From this guy's own autobiographical data:

As a young person I embraced a philosophy of violence...I was so convinced of my views that I put myself in prison by following them.

Gee, is there any wonder the guards viewed him as dangerous? http://gaconflict.org/?page_id=123

I found this while trying to find out what his crime was, or crimes were, that got his self-righteous buns "25 years under conditions of control." I also wanted to know if his white color was what landed him in prison (apparently not), and if he ever made amends to his own victims prior to preaching to the rest of us how we ought behave. That, the amends, is not made clear, and I remain dubious.

Where do these morons come from? If I didn’t know better, I would swear these are Stormfront operatives writing such bizarre BS as to make liberals look like idiots and black people as ignorant racists.

But nope. There are indeed enough brain damaged liberals and plantation blacks who really believe this crap.

> I am back to being a middle-aged white man in America, essentially the most privileged status in the nation. I don’t worry about being profiled by police while walking down the street or driving my car. No one is likely to call the police, nor are the police likely to kill me if I am holding a bb gun in Walmart.

Yeah I’m privileged too. I get to pay more taxes by far, am forced into slavery so that thugs and illegal immigrants can get free food, housing, healthcare, education, clothing, and phones, and am forced to bow to homos and affirmative action so that I can hire less qualifknown rope with criminal histories who may get me sued. And then I’m told I need to feel guilty for what my ancestors did over a 100 years ago and repatriate black men who live today that never suffered the same treatment.

Yeah I’m privileged alright.

It’s already legal to be Black.

Just don’t be a criminal thug and things go remarkably well...

Ah, thank you for that cripplecreek. It was posted while I was reviewing the guy's website so I did not see it prior to your post calling it to my attention.

That fact makes the treatment he received by the guards even more understandable, and also makes me wonder even more if he made some kind of amends to his victim's family and loved ones.
