Please Help The Gitmo 23! (John from WuzzaDem)

According to ABC News:

Twenty-three terror suspects tried to hang or strangle themselves at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay during a mass protest in 2003, the military confirmed Monday.

Apparently some 'overzealous' American soldiers stopped them before they could complete their 'mass protest.'

Where is the ACLU? Don't these guys have rights?

I realize that Guantanamo is in Cuba, but isn't a military base considered sovereign territory of the United States? If it is, then what about the right of The Gitmo 23 to peacefully protest (I'm assuming, for the sake of argument, that they were doing this quietly) by hanging themselves?

But wait, there's more:

In 2003, there were 350 "self-harm" incidents, including 120 "hanging gestures," according to Lt. Col. Leon Sumpter, a spokesman for the detention mission.

Last year, there were 110 self-harm incidents, he said.

So where are the right-to-die advocates? It seems like they can't wait to pull the plug on Terry Schiavo (again) so that she can die of starvation and dehydration, based on the word of her scumbag husband. Now that George Felos (Terry's scumbag husband's scumbag attorney - no offense to scumbags) has won Schiavo's husband the right to kill her, maybe he can do some pro bono work for The Gitmo 23. But hey, if he's strapped for cash, I'd be glad to take up a collection.

Amnesty International has chimed in, but as usual they're off-base. According to Alistair Hodgett, a spokesman for Amnesty International's office in Washington:

"When you have suicide attempts or so-called self-harm incidents, it shows the type of impact indefinite detention can have..."

It sounds like Alistair thinks they should be set free. HELLO? I think what these guys want is to kill themselves. If they wanted to get free then they would have tried to escape. What a maroon.

I'd not only be more than happy to contribute to the legal defense fund, I have some good, strong rope here that I'd throw in. How many virgins do they get for suicide? Maybe we can that raised too!

Ace, call Vinny Falcone.

I e-mailed this one to my friends when I saw it ...

"Between Aug. 18 and Aug. 26, the 23 detainees tried to hang or strangle themselves...ten detainees made a mass attempt on Aug. 22 alone."

Happy Birthday, to me.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.
