Stupidest statement of the year
A detailed look at Thug Henrikson's escape plan.

The details are interesting and rather puzzling. From the outside the jail windows look escapable, but they narrow down toward the inside. The available width is nowhere near what a skinny dude could get through. When I was young and skinny and idiotic, I could just barely squirm through the 8" x 16" space left by one concrete block. The window is clearly less than 8 inches, and Henrikson is a big hulking mass of thugmuscle. So what was the point of the bedsheets? He wouldn't need to haul something up that way; his money and power were sufficient to acquire contraband the easy way. He was planning a more effective escape by paying $500K to organize a hit squad. When you can throw that much money around, you can bring in anything you want.

Oh, now I get it. The bedsheets were meant to embarrass the authorities into transferring him, and the hit squad would act during the transfer. That makes more sense. In any case it didn't work. Yet.

Here's the stupid statement, complete with typical media punctuation and grammar:

The motion, filed by prosecutors, says this evidence of an escape is proof of a guilt writing, "an innocent man waits for his day in court, and a guilty man does his best to avoid it. The Court should admit this evidence."

Absolute raw nonsense. Alien delusion from a Venusian entity that has never encountered a human being.

FACT: Everyone WANTS to escape but not everyone TRIES to escape.

A falsely accused man WANTS to escape because he knows with 100% certainty that "law" and "justice" do not exist. His own case is PERFECT PROOF of those extinctions. The falsely accused man doesn't TRY to escape because he ISN'T A CRIMINAL AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ORGANIZE AN ESCAPE.

A criminal WANTS to escape because he is devoted to daily criminal activity, and the walls make it harder to carry on his vocation. There are very few easy victims inside the walls. The criminal is more likely to ATTEMPT an escape because he IS A CRIMINAL AND KNOWS HOW TO ORGANIZE AN ESCAPE.

Putting it another way, both men understand that "law" and "justice" are vicious cruel jokes, but the pro criminal knows how to create REAL law and justice for his own purposes.

A bit later: Thugrikson was planning on a full jury trial until his transfer made it possible for his subthugs to plead guilty without instant death. Now that the subthugs are giving evidence, his lawyers have apparently talked him into pleading guilty. Best all around. He won't serve life, but he will serve long enough for his powers to fade.
