Here's something you might be interested in.
I like to mix it up with these blogs, although often times, it's me ranting about our legal system.
With Dominick Dunne passing, I figured this rant would be dedicated to him.
He's an author who went from writing novels and pieces for Vanity Fair, to writing books and doing TV shows, about idiots like O.J. Simpson and others that get away with murder.
This all stemmed from his daughter, an actress, being murdered and the killer getting a light sentence.
(his son Griffin is a great filmmaker/actor).
I wonder what Dunne would say about Phil Spector sending letters to his friends about how horrible the prison conditions are.
I'm guessing he's just bummed out he can't wear his variety of wigs. Or that his famous "wall of sound" just doesn't sound the same behind the gray bars and brick walls he's living now.
I wonder what Dunne would think about the 2,200 inmates that get to keep their $250 stimulus checks, even though the economy the prison inmates will "stimulate" will be the dude selling smokes from cell to cell.
Or the prisoner in Chula Vista, who recently settled with the city for something like $85,000. Of course, everyone is claiming that it's just cheaper for the city to settle than fight these cases in court.
But it's about time they start fighting them. Otherwise, the idiots of the world (I'm speaking mostly to the extreme liberals) will just go on thinking that police brutality and racial profiling is such a problem.
Instead, the problem is that they try to arrest someone like this character...who fought and fought and fought (even bashing his own head into the window of the cop car), and because he ends up hurt during the struggle and tasers, it's easier to make a pay-off.
Well if that's the case, why not hook up the prisoner in St. Louis that I heard about a month ago.
He says that his precious kosher meals were suspended.
This guy (Phil Berryman) is a convicted killer. The 66-year-old is suing, claiming that his suspension from kosher meals was a burden on his "religious liberties." (not sure he realizes the "burden" he may have created for the family of the person he killed)
Now, I'm one of those guys that thinks when you're in prison, you shouldn't have any of these luxuries. No cable TV or anything else. Hell, most prisoners have better health care than those of us on the outside.
I guess if someone wants a carpet and wants to pray, whatever their religion is, that's fine. If they need 10 bibles...the old testament, the new testament, the cliff notes testament...whatever. Let them have their books and bibles. But it should all fall under the prison rules.
If you need to get up at 4:00 a.m. to pray in the grass field of the prison lawn, while facing a certain direction -- tough luck.
If you need kosher or vegan meals -- tough luck.
But just to put it all in perspective...you wanna know why the prison stopped serving him kosher meals?
They saw Berryman buying nonkosher snacks at the prison store.
It won't be long until the prison decides to just settle with the guy...give him thousands of dollars and more kosher meals.
And Dunne will be spinning in his grave.
