      A murder can be between 25 years to life depending on the situation, an attempt of murder is treated them same but since the crime wasn't successful they can't take on extra things to extend the sentence also every case is different but the defendent most likely declared heat of the moment or insanity lowering a sentence and allowing reformation in some cases, the real question is why the fuck did patrick only get charged with kidnapping

      ‘As a nurse…’?!? 🤔 Why would being a nurse matter in this situation?
      I’m wondering if you, as a nurse, played any part in the government experiment we were put through in these last few years?
      Did you administer tests and jabs?
      Did you insist on masks?
      Did you put DNR notices above beds?
      Did you refuse people access to medical care that wasn’t ‘covid’ related?
      Did you refuse to let patients spend their last days with loved ones?
      Did you do anything, whatsoever, that the government told you to without questioning them?
      If yes, then you’d probably have been a nurse on the Tuskegee too.

The Democrats are the biggest Liars. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves it was the Republicans who gave black men the right to vote even before women. It's all horrible but it didn't happen to any of us. Those of us now have to do something to change things. The Democrats and the Republicans are all liars they all work for themselves and not for us. But we must come together they have divided and conquered us for far too long.

The same day, less than a mile away from my school an idiot with a small truck crashed his vehicle onto ours, if any car crashed like this and my father was using the bike support nothing serious would have happened, but if that truck specifically did, the suppor would go through the driver's skull. So, my father saved him from his own mistake, but almost beat him to death, when I noticed my father was almost jumping at that man I grabbed his arm and cried, and he got even more pissed with the guy because I was crying but he stayed with me.

    That medical study experiment is one of the reasons why medical students take bioethics to learn that medical staff need to inform the patient with clear instructions in what the experiment is for and the risks for participating. However, not all medical schools require bioethics to be a prerequisite. It is an important class to take because so many medical doctors don't have that mindset for the patient, they like to experiment and having a patient to experiment on is their passion but not for the patient's wellbeing

      What everyone "forgets" is that this town was the home of a syphilis colony for over 300 years.
      Syphilis as you know can kill an entire community like it did on an island in Greece.
      So just like the leopards in Hawaii , there were places where people with incurable disease could live in peace.
      The original 1930 syphilis study was only for one year, to track it's spread rate. But no one believed how fast it spread, so they replaced the Doctors, and did it again and again.
      The average spread rate in 1930 was 1 new infection from a known source every 10 years. In Macon it was 3 per year.

There's a 15 year gap between us and luckily, she didn't have to go through a lot of the shit that the older kids in our family went through, because we tried to protect her and my youngest brother from what we went through with my father and his family and my older brother. Sometimes she's frustrated by my paranoia, but she knows where that concern comes from.

    Thanks for doing the syphilis story : Every generation of American citizens should know that happened . I know of a young man who died of syphilis in the last decade : He had every symptom of an untreated schizophrenic and kept getting locked up in the mental hospital - He was non-compliant . He told them the meds made him feel terrible and didn’t help . It wasn’t until months before his death at 27 , they realized he had syphilis and it was too late to treat him. Apparently, there are today pockets of syphilis outbreaks . I can’t imagine how many men contracted the disease after sleeping with him. As his mental health declined he became more and more sexually solicitous. Why it took so long for the hospitals to think to test for syphilis ? We’ll never know . Something else the citizenry should be aware of . Thanks for doing consistently great programs ! 🌸
