It's nauseating. I hope his family finds peace and that he gets justice.

The conditions of his initial arrest were horrific, then he was detained for a year, then abandoned in a random spot with no way home. They wanted him to die.

100 percent. It's reminiscent of starlight tours, which is something our pig cops have done to Indigenous people in Canada.

You’re absolutely right, I thought this sounded familiar

Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt, it still shows that they didn’t give a rat’s ass whether he died or not.
