Gay Inmates Abused

Apparently, the California Constitution guarantees the right of people to not be called names.

From the SacBee:

About 20 gay inmates were forced to remove their clothes in a busy hallway July 19 at the Men's Central Jail while being called names and taunted with vulgar sexual language by some deputies, the ACLU said in a letter to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, citing inmates' claims.

"Such behavior by staff demonstrates a level of immaturity, lack of professionalism, and sadism, which tarnishes the reputation of the entire department," wrote Ricardo Garcia and Jody Kent, who monitor jailhouse issues for the ACLU of Southern California.

The ACLU wanted anti-discrimination training for all deputies.

The same thing happened to me. I went to boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois, and was called names and taunted with vulgar sexual language everyday. It's nice to see the ACLU devoting resources to the dangerous problem of name-calling. What a bunch of dicks.

1 I find it hard to believe that anyone in the ACLU ever went to Boot Camp. Or ever had any other contact with the real world. They live in a "Soma" induced dream world.

2 Yeah, but it was 'bad' gay.

4 I thought they were all going to Canada if Bush won. What happened he won 9 months ago? Why are they still here? Rooster how many fish you catch?

5 And then you have the real truth. Which is they are housed in separate units away from the general population. They wear different colored clothing to distinguish them. They are comfortable and well treated they often return a few days after begin released just to gosip with the friends.

6 I'm just getting a lot of flak from the lefties over the disrobing part. What a bunch of whiners.

7 My heart's bleeding purple peanut butter for them. When I went through the service entrance exam, and was duckwalking(to this day, I haven't figured THAT one out) with a dozen other naked recruits and being hoorahed by the supervising Jr. NCOs, you didn't hear us complaining, at least not in the news. Also, if we had done it out loud, I'd have spent even MORE time pushing prime Georgia real estate away. I did Basic, AIT, and Airborne back to back at Benning, and 4 years later, one of the phases of Ranger school there, and I think that was enough.....;0)

8 I concur with Mike's assessment.
