Shockingly Gruesome Revelations on Deadly California Prison Riot: ‘It Just Blows My Mind’

Nearly 15 hours after a riot at a Northern California prison, guards found a missing inmate sawed nearly in two, with his abdominal organs and most chest organs removed, his body folded and stuffed into a garbage can in a shower stall a few doors from his cell.

Details of the gruesome May killing at the medium-security California State Prison, Solano, are laid out in an autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press under a public records request.

Prison riot? The reporter should go back in time a little and check out the New Mexico State Prison riot outside Santa Fe that lasted a couple of days (if I remember right) from a few years back. Talk about gruesome. It's almost like some of those incarcerated just don't much give a crap.

Living in Santa Fe at the time and you are exactly right.

I was working for a newspaper in Colorado shortly after the Santa Fe prison riots and the local cops picked up a guy for drunk driving who claimed he was a witness to the mayhem. He was on parole and terrified that he would be extradited back to NM for a violation, and, since he had turned state's evidence, he wouldn't last 10 minutes.

I checked out his story with the NM prison officials and the prosecutor's office and they verified it. But the locals shipped him back anyway. I don't know what became of him. But the account he gave of that riot made my blood run cold.

It seems I read (or heard) a statistic recently that said convicted murderers are very likely to murder in prison (like aboute 40% of them do). I don’t know how accurate that is, but if true, it’s another good reason for the death penalty. Those in for lessor crimes should have the guarantee of being able to walk out alive at some point.

Yes, there's a video on YouTube (maybe a couple of videos) about that riot. Ghastly beyond description.

Anyone who thinks the holocaust couldn't happen in America is kidding themselves. The type of monsters who made it possible are everywhere, all around us. They are for them most part kept in check by our civilization, but that seems to be disintegrating, and the process is being helped along by politicians. Including judges.

Well, according to liblogic, the best way to prevent any of these things from happening is to empty the prisons. Yeah, that sounds like a real good plan. Oh, and all you so called ‘non-criminals’, we’ll be retaining your guns for you so you won’t be shooting any innocent people

Giving Paul Harvey credit for the following phrase, used here for a different reason:

Containing the human nature of incivility is like holding an over inflated beach ball under water, with one hand.

The New Mexico State Prison was so gruesome. One wonders if Satan himself physically walked those corridors during the riot. I read up on some of the acts these criminals commited. It was a cross between Hostel meets Friday the 13th Jason meets One Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest.

The mistake they did there was to incarcerate both crazies and basic criminals together. It was the crazies that went after the criminals who they believed were snitches.

Prison disasters like this are a function of affluence in a modern society. Most societies in human history didn’t have the resources to deal with diabolical mutants. This was why executions — even horrific, public ones — were commonplace up until a few hundred years ago. Even criminals who weren’t terribly disruptive were sent to penal colonies and never seen again. Only a fat, nihilistic, deviant society would tolerate criminality — and even make excuses for the worst of it.

Exactly, just imagine if these evil convicted murders escaped prison. They have no qualms in committing murders for them no difference outside and in.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy they sawed up was in for child molestation or some egregious act against a child.

I have always heard that the one thing common to almost all criminals, no matter how bad their crimes, is they absolutely hate and will not tolerate crimes against children, especially if sexual in nature.

All under the name of *compassion*. The devil is getting a lot of use out of that word. The father of lies knows all the ways to lie and distortion is one of his many tricks. He takes a good concept—compassion—and distorts it to mean something that is actually the opposite. It is not compassionate to let dangerous people run free.

Liberalism is a mental disorder and it has a political party—the Democrats. They are organized and have their politicians and judges all over the nation. We need to connect the dots between much of this social breakdown and the ideologies of the Democrat party. Many ordinary Democrat voters do not seem to connect the dots to their party and to the politicians they vote for who can seem like nice moderate people.

If you’ve life without hope of parole, why not have a little fun to help pass the time? For those sorts of folks, this is where the death penalty comes in handy.

The one that sticks in my my mind from New Mexico is the guy that had his head burned open with an acetylene torch. Gruesome doesn’t even begin to cover the photos of that.

I was watching a program about the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755. After the earthquake, the firestorm and the tsunami, there was another disaster—the criminals were able to escape their jails due to the damage caused by the earthquake. They went of a crime spree of murder, rape and theft. This is what would happen to us if the criminals were let loose.

This goes way beyond politics. Many of the strongest advocates for the normalization of social pathologies over the years have been Republicans, not Democrats.

New York, for example, became the abortion capital of the United States before Roe v. Wade -- with the nation's first abortion-on-demand bill signed into law by Governor Nelson Rockefeller in 1970.

If only they would be let out of jail, then they could begin *turning their lives around*.

You know, I wasn’t going to mention the blow torch mayhem. That whole scenario was a nightmare that would make freddy kruger crap his drawers.
