Amazing....the chicks(guards) are suing, because they need male guards to protect them from female inmates...LOL! Guess you need a man to do a man's job...someone tell Kamela.
"The suits stem from the sheriff department's decision last October to consolidate all female prisoners into a county jail south of Market Street and restrict male deputies from working inside the jail's female-only section. In the past, male deputies had been able to work in the female section, called a pod, as long as the primary deputy on staff was female.
"They are making women take the brunt of physical abuse when they could protect everybody a hell of a lot more by having men and women in the pod," said attorney Lawrence D. Murray, who is legal counsel for the deputies in both lawsuits."
So ACORN is behind that T-third thing? They are like the progressive version of Grover Norquist -- pimping short term solutions and class warfare against long-term planning.
Much of the rebuilding of low lying areas in NOLA is because of ACORN -- despite the fact that it's not only likely that NOLA is going to get hit by if not another hurricane, rising sea levels.
Of course these types of groups only exist if they can rile up their members. So class warfare, conspiracy theories and short term gain are the 'best' options.
And this is why people are turned off by the public debate in this country. Because it's so arrogantly stupid.
