Imagine your last few years being a cancer patient in prison, and even if you live, when you get out, you’ll be in your 60s, with no money, no job, no pension, nothing. Might as well give it a shot. ---

No mention of the Proud Boys should go by without a link to their meetup manual, as turned over in discovery in a recent lawsuit, which is worth the next 30 minutes of your time. [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23583951-proudboysmeetuprules](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23583951-proudboysmeetuprules) No, really. However ridiculous you think these people are, it’s way worse. ---

They were sitting on their asses for half a year instead of signing the paperwork for his surgery. I sure hope the DoC and warden from heavily Blue D.C. didn’t deliberately stall this guy’s surgery for political reasons because that would suck. Don’t behave like the Deplorables would in your shoes. Gotta be better than that. This scumbucket defendant has rights just like you or me. ---

I highly doubt it, if only because this happened two years ago, and you’d never have heard the end of it from MTG and her ilk if there were substantial proof to their braying about 1/6 defendants being political prisoners. It’s more likely just the more mundane explanation of jails not treating inmates like human beings because they don’t care, which is hardly more reassuring. Medical care for prisoners is indifferent in the best of situations. ---

When the budget for the jail is in no way connected to the headcount sentenced to the jail, something is gonna give. It’s a national disgrace, but we can take a ghastly sort of solace in recognizing we don’t do much better on funding public schools to the need, even in well-off districts. Said another way, we only treat prisoners slightly worse than we treat our own kids. It’s shortsighted selfishness all the way down. ---

There seems to be some disagreement as to whether this guy actually needed surgery. From what I’m gathering from this article, he broke his pinky finger, it was splinted but was a little crooked after it healed and he wanted surgery to correct what was essentially a cosmetic issue….with his pinky finger. > **[DOJ: Records show Proud Boy 'invented' medical emergency at DC Jail](https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/national/capitol-riots/doj-claims-records-show-proud-boy-christopher-worrell-invented-medical-emergency-at-dc-jail-capitol-riot-january-6-lamberth-contempt/65-1be3b22e-6643-475f-a6a9-10fb45147745)** > > The Justice Department says the doctor who examined Christopher Worrell refutes his account of his treatment at the jail. ---

The original articles I looked did not mention the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but I would think that would be considered in his sentencing. I’m sure his lawyers would argue for clemency. That said, how is he going to get treatment if he’s on the lam? ---
