I Have Trouble Getting Worked Up About the Relgious Right...
when shit like this doesn't seem to cross the radar screens of freedom's self-proclaimed defenders. Lets face it, Baltimore is hardly some sort of hotbed of religious fundamentalism, so one can hardly blame the fundies for this one. A young kid was taken to jail for exactly nothing, by police who wouldn't even provide him the basic assistance that they have a job to provide. On top of it, he had his car robbed in the impound lot. This is the sort of crap that is supposed to happen in third world nations, not the United States. Great. Now I know that, in Baltimore, the police can pick you up, throw you in jail, and rob you just because they feel like it. I'm disgusted, to put it mildly.
