Devil Patrick,the next governor of massachusetts.

[Darkwolf377]

Ugh. If he's defeated I might seriously reconsider my atheism.

Howie Carr's new slogan for Deval: "Free 'em all Deval"

[shekkian]

Ugh, and I live in NH. If he gets elected we're getting it, too. At least we have CCW to keep them in check.

[mewzilla]

Could be worse. He could've sponsored a bill that would've required LEOs to shoot-to-wound.

Supposed violations of inmates’ civil rights

While in charge of the Department of Justice’s civil rights division under President Clinton, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick targeted several prisons and jails nationwide for allegedly violating inmates’ rights. Among the issues Patrick cited as federal violations of convicts’ rights were:

• Denying rapists and murderers in solitary confinement in Maryland’s highest security ‘Supermax’ prison the ‘right to exercise’ and go outside for ‘fresh air’
• ‘Conditions of extreme social isolation and reduced environmental stimulation’ at the Maryland Supermax
• Denial of ‘recreational or educational programs’ and equipment at the Supermax
• Food being served ‘lukewarm or cold’
• Inmates being forced to make a $2 medical co-payment for non-emergency doctor visits
• ‘Grossly deficient mental health care services’
• Improperly inflated basketballs and a lack of hoops at a New York prison
• Failure to provide inmates white underwear in Virginia
• Failure to serve prisoners ‘juice or milk’ with lunch in a Georgia jail
• Failure to provide adequate air conditioning in individual cells in a Mississippi jail
• Failure to provide cons with clean linen and clothes three times per week in a Mississippi prison.

Supposed violations of inmates’ civil rights

[sgtbono2002]

From what I am reading it appears he would be the perfect Governor for Massachusetts.

[Conservomax]

Is that you, Howie?

[Aquinasfan]

Dukakis pardoned 44 convicted murderers in his first three months in office. Maybe Deval will break Dukakis' record.

Patrick chastised correction officials in Syracuse, N.Y., for not providing ... the opportunity to participate in large muscular activity.”

Don't they get enough muscular activity when they drop the soap?
