        That’s a little too crazy, but maybe one day I mean Presidents have been convicted of felonies and yet they still run for office. I mean shit people have ran for office while in prison. I think they still have to maintain some sense of decency, but you know, the Yankee Empire is one of the biggest cartels.

          Until we fix our justice system, it’s a dangerous road to say “you can’t run for president if you’ve been convicted of a felony”.

          The second sentence I have for that is: “Barring someone from a political position with politically motivated charges is a tool of a fascist government, the people should be able to decide who can be president regardless”

          But that didn’t turn it well for us this time around.

      […] among the numerous atrocities committed by General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin are […]

      We really should come up with a title for people who held a formal title but are pieces of shit. Or maybe just make it relevant, e.g. Convicted Felon and Twice-Impeached President Donald Trump, Disgraced Murderous Coward Adolph Hitler, Dictator And Dickbag Vladimir Putin, etc.

        You really need a historical lesson. I mean a real good lesson. Like I’m not saying Stalin was perfect or not, but you need to learn about American President’s. We need to learn about all the conflicts that we’ve been involved in. all the mass death and destruction that we have caused. I don’t know why you guys get so hard dicked about crying about Russia. Communism’s Dead Bro. All we have is worldwide capitalism in a world on the verge of destruction. This is the second Cold War bro with people betting on both sides with the weapons contractors providing weapons for both sides. There is like no good guy or bad guy. This is just… a economic opportunity.

        I am also kind of frustrated with people’s perception of a dictator. If you look at Kim Jong-un he still answers to other foreign powers. Those powers are capitalistic, yet in his little container, I guess there’s some form of communism or socialism. Whatever that means nowadays. Also, Stalin had a collective leadership. Every dictator, or whatever, has an inner circle. That inner circle represents the titans of industry.

      Frankly I appreciate the info. Definitely at least put the word former on there, but it’s good to know this probably isn’t some know-nothing schmuck. This is a man that probably has decent amounts of inside knowledge, as others are alluding to possibly friends aiding & abetting. He knows not only how to stalk & kill you, but also how to hide the body.

      This is good to know.

      “Former” is appropriate. But it really explains the danger here. He’s got experience both professionally and in personal life.

        He was wearing an officer’s uniform when he walked out of the jail. You don’t get more “On Duty” than that. Dude is probably still pulling a salary.

    Escaped implies one of their employees didn’t open the door & let him walk out freely.

    Grant Hardin, 56, escaped from the North Central Unit in Calico Rock, Arkansas, at 2:55 p.m. local time on May 25 wearing a “makeshift outfit designed to mimic law enforcement,” according to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. The former Gateway, Arkansas, police chief was imprisoned in 2017.

    Crazy how a cop serving time got his hands on another cop’s outfit and then all the other cops looked the opposite way while he wandered out of his jail cell, through the gates, and back into the general public like that.

    Oh well. I’m sure it doesn’t imply anything.

    Grant Hardin is being jockeyed around the country by various police and law enforcement to kill people the police don’t like in my opinion. He is not in Arkansas in my opinion.

    When the police want to capture rogue officers … like Chris Dorner … the police shot at everyone to get Dorner. The search team has said things like there are 1000s of caves around there et cetera. They are just setting that up.

    The police are using Grant Hardin to kill anti-Trump folks, and the police will suddenly catch him around September. Hardin will be in a nicer cell, better chow, and left alone.

      Oh yeah… He has to get out the country or hide in the woods and even then the world is a prison planet a double edge sword with the working class impaled.
