Violent Inmates Become Heroes--Save Life of Deputy

So much for stereotyping and writing people off as worthless. In a Florida jail, housing violent criminals, when one attacked a deputy jailer, other inmates ran up and literally saved his life.

Stereotyping is easy because we don't have to hold ourselves accountable for societies worthless.
Great post by the way.

Thank you very much Barbi, but I like to stay informed on what is going on in the world around me. TV is only one source which I don't use since I don't have cable where I am. There are people who aren't worth a damn, outside the bars that truly belong in cages. Madoff is one I can think of who did a lot of damage, ruined people's lives with his multi billion dollar scam, and has some suicides and gravestones to his credit. I think he's a worthless sonofabitch. These guys who had every reason to stand a watch a jailer get murdered, instead rushed to his rescue and saved him. Considering that all had been convicted of violent crimes, this man was their jailer, to rush to his rescue showed higher, humane impulses can drive them, still. Heroes in anyone's book.

I'll post a story I find uplifting any time. And no one will tell me not to!

A lot of people follow the crowd, listen to their ministers of politics and whatever else they preach.. If you have read any of my posts you should know this gal is one who definitely thinks for herself -- no matter who or how many think otherwise.

So go read a book, watch TV, pet your dog or whatever else you do with your time. And I'll post any damned thing I want. "Cause I think and speak as I wish and don't take bullying or dictation from anyone.

Encouraging that so many inmates rushed to his rescue. I hope they get some kind of recognition.
