Florida man drinks a cup of bleach after jury finds him guilty of armed robbery
The New York Post ^ | November 23, 2022 | Landon Mion, FOX News

Posted on 11/23/2022 2:41:18 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A Florida man downed a cup of bleach in a courtroom moments after hearing the jury read his verdict in which he was found guilty of armed robbery.

Jermaine Bell, 38, has spent more than three years in custody for the December 2018 robbery for which he was convicted. He pulled a gun on employees at the Millennium Engine Plating while he was disguised as a courier.

Bell was seen drinking the bleach from a white disposable cup before an officer approached him with a trash can and attempted to have the inmate spit up the liquid. But Bell continued to drink from the cup until he eventually sat down. 

He immediately became very sick after drinking the bleach and was transported out of the courtroom in Miami on a stretcher. He was then taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

Bell is in stable condition at the hospital after ingesting the bleach, but it remains unclear how he was able to obtain it in the courtroom. Questions are also being raised by his family about why nobody intervened as he was drinking the product.

“I see him drinking something that’s not right,” Reverend Jerome Starling, a distant relative of Bell, told Local 10. “His attorneys are letting him drink it. Corrections letting him drink it. All of a sudden I see him collapse. And I said how could this happen.”

He should have been cuffed, both in the courtroom, and wherever he was drinking the bleach. From my experience, the Judge is the only authority who can tell the escorting officers to remove the cuffs. If the court was on a break at the time, but he was still in the courtroom, he should have been immediately cuffed when the break was called. How the hell did he get access to bleach in a courtroom? Hillary wasn’t there with her bleach-bit, wiping her server clean...with a cloth, was she?

I started off in ChemE, and the Professor left me and a dude perpetually high off of Adderall alone in the lab for hours.

Quick tip, don’t set large magnesium strips on fire.
I saw a white spot for quite a while.

“His attorneys are letting him drink it.” Oh, so, it’s not his fault. “Duh.... The attorneys are to blame.”

Bleach is used to purify a newly drilled well or cleaned dug well.

However one drains the well until the water is free of the the Bleach.

Takes a few days open almost the house taps and the entire sys is purified

In my high school freshman lab science class, my eccentric teacher showed us just how magnesium would burn. He lit the end of a strip of magnesium, and that thing burned brighter than the sun!

We learned that on our own. :)

Putting the strips in high molarity acids was also fun.
We were at least smart enough to do it under the hood.

Prisoners and convicts should have the right to kill themselves. I don’t see why the state is so intent on keeping people alive against their will.

"Inmates occasionally will do that to get out of prison and into a hospital. I have seen such people."

Winston Moseley, who murdered Kitty Genovese in March of 1964 was at Attica in 1968, when he stuck a soup can up his butt, in order to be taken to the outside hospital. It had to be surgically removed. At the hospital, he attacked one of his escorting officers (NY State only allows one officer to be armed when outside escorting inmates). He took the officer's pistol, and fled the hospital. While on foot, he broke into the vacant home of an elderly woman who was living with her daughter and husband in Grand Island, NY. The husband and wife would check out the property on a regular basis, and have someone come in to clean. After getting a call from the cleaning woman that something wasn't right at the home, Mrs. Kulaga called the Buffalo Police who said they would check the property out. She'd also told the police at the time that there wasn't anything valuable at the property. The next morning Mrs. Kugala remembered that her grandfather's pistol was in the attic, and called the police back to tell them that.

In the meantime, the couple decided to check the property on their own, and when they entered the home, they discovered Moseley holding the pistol he had taken from the C.O. He took all their clothes off, tied up the husband, then raped his wife. When he was finished, he tied up Mrs. Kulaga, stole their money, and fled the house taking their car. Moseley was caught two days later.

I remember the Kitty Genovese murder. I was a junior in high school. I also remember watching a TV news program sometime in the 70's that featured one of the network newspeople interviewing Moseley in prison. I believe he was filing an appeal at the time.

Several years later in 1980, I took the job as Correctional Officer, and went to work at Auburn Prison in Auburn, New York. Imagine my surprise when on one of my first assignments, who comes strolling up tp pass through the gate up to the administration building, but Winston Moseley. I knew exactly who he was, but didn't let on. Being a female , he tried being chatty, wanted to know who I was, etc. He specifically asked me what the letter K. of my first name stood for on my name tag. I told him it wasn't any of his business, and he left for his job of porter in the administration building. Had I been on the ball, and thought faster, I should have told him my first name was Kitty. I would have loved to have seen his face.

It was common knowledge that Mrs. Kulaga regularly came to see Moseley in Auburn prison, and would bring him packages. She wasn't a spring chicken, but I wondered if she was a religious person, and felt that by visiting her attacker, she'd be able to deal with what she and her husband had gone through. It's a wonder that he let the Kulaga's live.

Moseley died at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York in 2016 at the age of 81. I never could understand how someone who had escaped custody, attacked people and stole a weapon, along with raping a woman over and over, how that POS ever got the job of porter up in the Administration Building, where mostly female employees worked. The day I heard he died, I jumped up and down for joy. He was truly evil, and I hope he's rotting in Hell as I write.

He will be shitting white turds,but that’s alright. Bleach is used on ships and offshore platforms. Take seawater, make sodium hypochlorite by electrolysis, zap the human waste and other hydrocarbons and dump it back in the sea. How else do you think those huge cruise hips get rid of their human waste? The oceans would look and smell like a city sewerage plant if they did not use this technique.

Understood, but, the bleach doesn't smell?
