    Joe Arpaio is an abuser. He emotionally, mentally, and physically abuses those least capable of leaving the abusive situation.

    Sadly, the fact that he's been re-elected numerous times, with a large winning margin, is a testament to his PR firm's ability to create a story and a headline, and to their ability to spin nearly anything for the sake of the mighty dollar.

    If you are tired of it, please get out there and campaign against this man. We can't do it alone in Arizona. We need the nation's help.

    @TildeMarks: Unfortunately there are people all over the nation who AGREE with Asshole Arpaio - my father-in-law regularly forwards emails from his conservative friends about how great he is, and I'm in NY.

    That being said, what can those of us outside of AZ do? Because this man is a menace.

    How do you give birth while cuffed at the ANKLES? I've had three kids and I can tell you that is one of the most unreasonable things I have ever heard in my entire life.

    Also, they took her baby away right at birth and she had no contact at all for 72 days? That is just beyond the pale. Just so horrible I can't even begin to contemplate it. Emotional and physical horror is all I can say. That will have consequences for that baby and mother for the rest of their lives.

    So so sad.

    @applejuice: Likely her ankles were not cuffed together. The restraints at the psych hospital where I work (yes, I abhor them and refuse to participate like any sane person ought) are actually velcro/webbing/lock contraptions and there is a separate one for each wrist and ankle. They hook into the bed, so the person has their feet apart and their wrists restrained by their hips.

    This Australian campaign sounds incredible- they're targeting the perpetrators instead of the objects of violence, and doing it non-accusingly and with humour. I'll be following this with great interest.

    Arpaio is a bigot/racist. How unsurprised was I when I clicked on the link and I found the woman to be *brown*. No one needs to be shocked at the behavior of someone who collaborates with ICE.

    @Evie Havok: And yet he keeps getting elected. There is something rotten at the very core of society when that can happen.

    ICE is an absolutely frightening group. The fact that something like that can exist on American soil is an abomination. But they don't make headlines, so the president and congress aren't going to do a goddamned thing. There's nothing political to be gained by treating the downtrodden like human beings.

    The saddest part is what she herself says: "I'm not afraid to come out with my story," she said. "But I'm disappointed to see that not much has been done to stop [Joe Arpaio]."
    This dude has been in office for how fucking long? I remember him since I was in college, and that was eons ago. And he's still getting elected!

    @Evie Havok: Co-operation with ICE isn't as bad as the deliberately humiliating and barbaric manner which she was treated in the County jail system. FTA (NewTimes):

    She waited 14 extra days in jail to be picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    "[ICE officers] took me to the Florence Detention Center, where they treated me much better," she said. "At least not like an animal."

    Also, the shackling of that woman is bad enough, but taking the baby away from her immediately after birth is ridiculous. It's traumatizing to both mother and child, and could have long-lasting ramifications for both.

    Joe Arpaio is a total fascist.

    @whynotshesaid: She was incarcerated without a breastpump, or the opportunity to nurse her baby either. Mastitis is no fucking joke, and I can't imagine the kind of pain she must have been in emotionally and physically. It actually makes me feel really sick to my stomach to imagine what she had to go through.

    @GirlFailer: I missed that part of the article. How infuriating.

    Another thing that sucks is that she was arrested on warrants that, had she had access to halfway decent legal representation, would have been nothing. Driving without a license and a misdemeanor shoplifting charge? Shit. I just wrote a story about a 17-year-old girl who was accused of hitting and killing a homeless woman with her car, then who drove home without telling anyone. She got fifteen months probation as a juvenile, and you KNOW the fact that her parents had money to get her a decent attorney had SO MUCH to do with it.

    And then of course the fact that she is undocumented....ARGH. You'd think the preamble to the Constitution contained the clause that all people were imbued with inalienable rights...as long as they are Americans.

    Again I say, FUCK JOE ARPAIO.

    @whynotshesaid: What he did is also a violation of international norms, and medical practice. The U.N. Committee Against Torture, (which monitors compliance with the Convention Against Torture) and the Human Rights Committee (which monitors compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) have both declared that shackling an inmate in labor violates both treaties.
    The U.S. is unsurprisingly behind much on the world on this.

No matter WHAT the subject matter of the article, there are always comments that are seriously unhinged, racist, sexist, homophobic, govmint hating, or gun-loving-paranoia. Or all of the above.

    Okay, this line from the source for the linked Arpaio article has me feelin' stabby:
    "Let's assume someone is faking labor — that's a hypothetical — and she then chose to escape and hit or assault the hospital staff," McIntyre said. "She could do that easily because it's an unsecured area."

    Yeah, you know those pregnant ladies. They're SUPER HARD to chase down what with their pregnancy speed.

    A quibble with the above write-up

    For the first time in decades, the U.S. skating team has no clear-cut Olympic medal contender.

    While that is painfully true in the ladies skating, there are other disciplines in figure skating, too. The US currently boasts the reigning world champion in men's figure skating (Evan Lysacek) and the reigning silver medalists in ice dancing (Belbin and Agosto). They've been performing well this season, too: all three just won Skate America in their respective fields. We'll see Ol' Glory hoisted over that icy podium yet. #horses
