What a surprise! Inmates using newspaper's gun owner map to threaten guards, sheriff says

The Cleveland Plain Dealer published our names several years ago. Somehow they missed me. Anyway, many of us dropped the paper. They've had a couple of layoffs since then. Boycott this newspaper....

No, you're just easily scared. Life isn't a television program. There is no percentage in going after a guards family. "Oh, they could blackmail a guard!" Except that in real life, if they tried, they'd only lose from doing it. Again, life isn't a movie.

Take the addresses away and see if that doesn't stop the whole thing from doing anything at all.


Who cares about guards? A dime a dozen. Same with cops. They get killed all the time.

Its really the lawyers and judges who are the real paranoids. What do they do to them in mexico - cut their heads off with chainsaws, torture, hangings, rape.

Even cops get more respect .

Yep... why not also list all who have had abortions, dui's, misdemeanors, who vote democrat,etc?

So, genius, tell me why they keep people's health records private? Huh?

Nothing "bad" could ever come of it if someone got your records, Right?


You ever take business law in college? No? I didnt think so.

There is a word called Forseeable. It's why people sue their asses off in this country.

If it's a foreseeable crime, then they can sue if the crime is committed

If prisoners have information they can use to commit a crime, then it's clearly a foreseeable crime based on this new situation.

I choose to not publish my life on fb. That's my choice. I foresee an issue putting my info out there. Because I use my brain.

If you choose to put your info out there and base your safety on what has not happened so far, then you're living in the la-la land of denial and stupidity.

Cheers

Touche' AC...

Exactly.

I happen to personally know a handful of prison gurads.

They get threatened every day. Their life is on edge every day

And now they have to worry more that the criminals that already despise and hate them, now have their personal info, without having to do any work to find it

Crazy

here is how it happened. he called his baby momma after seeing this story on the news. He then asks her to look up officer so-n-so and find out where they live. he then makes a minor comment about said address to the officer. officer shits pants. IT IS A THREAT DUMB ASS. And this is only a minor threat. if the inmate is really pissed off he gets baby momma or his boys to get info on his family and threatens to kill his kid unless he brings him contraband. or hee gets his boys to kill the family. come on think it thru dude.

Brief, thanks for sticking up for us! My husband and I are both Correctional Officers (not gaurds) and although we dont get paid a whole lot, we do get a nice pension after 25 years of service. If we make it that long...

I'm sorry, you see this is a problem of you not having the ability to read what I wrote.

I don't agree that the addresses should have been published.

What I also don't think is that there will be, or has been a problem from this yet.

It isn't going to be either. This is an overblown reactionary piece meant to get you to respond, much as you have.

Don't worry, I understand that you can't see anything you don't currently believe, because that would take work.

Ever go to Google and type your name in? Most your info pops up anyway.

You're a bit slow, aren't you?

Think before you write things, will you?

I didn't say it wasn't a threat, I said that we don't know this actually happened, and that if it did, that the inmates probably don't have long lists of addresses committed to memory.

If you aren't intelligent to understand what I wrote, then why do you think what you're saying about anything else is correct?

How many, by percentage, of "correctional officers" die each year? How many in the line of duty? Right, it happens. But it isn't some vast problem. "Make it that long"? because they quit? It has to be an awful job and extremely high stress, but that doesn't mean the story was accurate or that the inmates have perfect memories.

THIS


The united states currently holds 25% of the WORLDS prison population for IDIOTIC offenses. Offenses that the rest of the world would 'slap them on the wrist' for. Minor Drug offences, unpaid fines, domestic problems, etc.

This doesn't even COUNT the amount that are currently under state supervision for said 'Crimes to Humanity'....

It's a business. 90% of the prisons are Privately owned. The judges & cops take Payola from the Prison industry to send MORE people to jail for idiotic offenses.

Then non-violent people get put behind bars with VIOLENT people, are forced to adapt to survive, and come OUT of prison with a brand new mentality. Unable to get a job now because 'society' has branded them a leper. Now most just don't even give a shit if they commit 'real' crimes to survive.

I'd say at least 1/3+ of the people currently in prison should have never been there in the first place. It's a fucking joke. Only armed robbers, murders and rapists should be there.....and that's the MINORITY in the prison system.

Amurikka. Home of the Slave.

If its no big deal, why do most of us post as Anonymous Coward?

eat dick.

okay, you keep trying to talk down to others on this thread and it is starting to show your true cowardess.

Please before being condecending try reading what I wrote. I never said they were to commit them to memory. I gave you very realonable examples of how this will happen. And guess what? this shit happens all the time and we will never hear about it because only riots get coverage. you really dont hear about any c.o. dying in the line of duty, just police and fire. thats just the way it is.
my hubby had a gang hit out on him last year. we spent months in a constant state of ready. we had to inform our kids school, we had to change up our schedules constantly, and we were always stressed. in public, at work, and sadly in our home. it isnt fun and i dont wish it on anyone.

Let's start with your sorry racist hick ass who has shits for brains. Most the shit you spew from your mouth is criminal.

and is it fair to put the guards families at risk also?

shrewed

If I were him I'd start with people like you and then disarm the criminals. Oh wait, WTF? That is EXACTLY what they are doing, LOL.....

He is FULL of shit. Threaten a guard and your ass is in the hole for 6 months with another 10 guards who will daily stick their clubs up your ass so they make sure you don't do it again and others do not follow suit.

Really!!?!?!?!?!

Who would have thought that criminals could do something like this?

Your premise is baseless. Do you know how crazy and rageful some of those inmates are? Don't underestimate what they are capable of...they have nothing but time on their hands to plot and execute their revenge.

And they don't have to memorize the addresses, they have newspaper subscriptions. You have no imagination.

turn your tv off dude. Just pick up the little black thing with buttons on it and look for the one that says 'off'.press said button. that is all.

Ugh, I knew nothing good would come of this travesty of journalism.

What I don't know is how the prisoners were able to divine the locations of the guards through that information though? I understand that the addresses were published, and it probably ruled out 2/3rds of the population, but without typing in address after address hoping to get lucky and it's where the target guard lives I can't see how it's done.

Did the newspaper actually publish the names of the owners along with their addresses?

I have been to jail and prison. These facts are not from TV. Sure, you can threaten them all you want, but you better believe they will get you back and attempt to curb your threats with various attitude adjustment techniques such as the hole and beat downs. It is a dog eat dog and very dark world for everyone that walks through the gates of a prison regardless if it is a job or a conviction for a crime.

Maybe the editors head should be on a platter.

so many ignorant people in media/news need to be arrested. they have crossed the line far too many times IMO.

honestly, a lot of fucking people need to be arrested.

Actually, they do have rights, Sir.

Never heard of freedom of the press?

Names and addresses are public information, as are PERMITS issued by the Government, unless expressly private.

When you ask for YOUR rights to be protected, you cannot violate the rights of others.

Public access is public access.

Understood. We're not arguing for such things to be against the law(at least I'm not) but just because something CAN be done legally does not mean it SHOULD be done.

With rights comes responsibility, and I just wish the people who released these names had a little of it.

Protection from the GOVERNMENT officials who swim these waters.

Not that it means anything, since IP addresses are easy to obtain by anyone.

The fact is privacy is NOT a protected right when one asks for permission to do something with the Government.

When these people begged for their "permit" to have a CCW, did they READ the application? Was there ANY privacy agreement terms in it or the Statute about CCW permits?

I bet there is NOT and 99.99% of the fools who signed their right to privacy away when getting a permit do not even know it.

Caveat emptor, fuckers.
