  • He wasn’t taken to a hospital but instead was transferred to another cell where he was found dead seven days later.

    I just was thinking about how horrified everyone should feel about this sentence. Like in what planet is it ok to be legally responsible for another person’s safety and not find them dead until 7 days later. Even in situations where you aren’t restricting 100% responsible. Imagine:

    “…transferred to another hospital room where he was found dead seven days later.”

    “….transferred to another table at the restaurant where he was found dead seven days later.”

    I’m so tired, boss.



  • It was that big of a deal. I was in my early 20s and the event was devastating for multiple reasons. We didn’t understand what exactly was happening or why. Suddenly the country was being attacked in spectacular fashion at multiple locations simultaneously (it wasn’t just New York, it was also Washington, DC, then another flight that the passengers fought back so it didn’t reach the terrorists’ destination).

    Whoever did this had planned super well and knew how to get us. We didn’t know who or why, what was going to happen next? Would bombs start blowing up in major cities? Was this a chaotic prelude to an invasion by another military? No option seemed impossible in those early hours as we watched the carnage live.
