At Stage 2, Bart had been receiving treatment through the VA until he was arrested for January 6th. He was left in his cell without his medication or any form of help with the illness he had. Both the DC Gulag and the VA have been criticized for inadequate healthcare, and hopefully, they will both be held accountable.

New London — Johnathon Willsey sat back in his chair, having just finished a plate of tuna casserole. He sat with two friends, Tori Merrill, 17, and Joshua Hayslip, 25, all part of a growing clientele of young adults at the New London Community Meal Center, known to most as the Soup Kitchen.
