“A 32-year-old woman hanged herself in a holding cell at an East New York police station Friday evening, police said.
“The woman was found unconscious and hanging from the front of the cell, with a pair of pants around her neck, about 45 minutes after being brought in. A police official said the woman had been arrested on a charge of possession of marijuana.”
WATCHDOG: While we enjoy the Christmas holiday with friends and family, let’s also reflect on the hundreds of thousands of individuals in prison for, at most, crimes against themselves…things that millions of others do each year without being arrested…things that are far less dangerous than drinking alcoholic beverages or smoking. Think how they pine for their friends and families. Think of the children at home without a father or mother to share the holiday.
When will this senseless persecution of the weak and vulnerable by the strong and self righteous end?
