Good on them. They should be awarded 3 packs of smokes, each.

You mean the totally different story about a different woman in different cold water?

offenders... not story

Inmate firefighters aren't uncommon. They make up a a decent portion of the wild land firefighters in the western states.

Especially in places like California where there isn't enough money for municipal services, but they can always build and fill 25 more prisons.

Well they probably started the fire so they should know how to put it out.

That's very handy for the woman that the first responders had been in the freezing water for almost an hour already - almost as if they were waiting for her...

I guess it's lucky for them the woman capsized when she did, or they might have completely frozen while they waited.

Time for a review of their sentences and add a lot to their "time off for great behaviour".

Why the unlikely and not the Hero tag? They did save some one with no raping involved after all, we should be proud.

And they said prison time for marijuana possession was a bad thing. Keep the prisions full to keep us safe.

Percentage wise, of people accidently going overboard, I'm betting more men drown than women. They are "too manly" to wear a life vest. I live between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, almost every time I hear of a drowning it is a man not wearing a vest, the woman survives because she was.

I thought that at first read also. Good story though.

"Deputies believed alcohol was a factor..."

I would never have guessed.

Approve.

The Troof hurts: Prisoners don't always lose their humanity. [Ricromero.jpg]

Even the most violent of criminals aren't always bad people. My uncle's best friend is serving 25 years for 3 counts of murder. Three drunk yahoos raped the college student that he rented a room to, so he beat all three of them to death with a baseball bat. I met him many times and he is the nicest guy in the world. Frankly his threat to the general public is pretty damn low, lower than mine to be honest, but he has another 17 years behind bars for dishing out some righteous punishment to a trio of low-lifes.

A single instant is all it takes to turn good, decent people into violent "criminals". Plus, I imagine those who serve on those prison fire crews are carefully screened so that only those who pose little threat to attempt escape are allowed to go outside the prison walls.

Inmates also run the sewage treatment plants at some prisons.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: I thought they didn't know how to swim?

Correct. You thought they didn't know how to swim.

And if he had rented that room to the Duke Lacrosse Team 'rape victim'?

I'm not surprised the inmates performed well. There was a wet female within grabbing distance of male prisoners.

So they went out at night, after a few drinks, in the freezing cold Bay, and didn't wear PFDs.

So close. Couldn't they have waited until National Safe Boating Week (May 21 - 27) to collect the complete set.

Economy so bad we can't scrape together a decent HERO tag for these guys?

this deserves the hero tag, I'll go with the not all inmates are bad people deal I've known a lot of people/friends that made some bad decisions and ended up locked up but were otherwise good people...

Also, Sir Gilbert from Gilbert & Sullivan died while trying to save a drowning woman. We would have given him a hero tag.

So how many times was she raped?

I am reliably informed that they did not. In fact, it's been burning since the planet began revolving.

I hope they get a couple weeks off of their sentence for this.

He heard her screaming and walked in on them holding her down with her crying. There was nothing 'alleged' about it.

They took turns with Becky .....
There were three of them.

Your uncle's friend should have been given an $18 fine, not 25 years. I'd gladly live next door to him, rather than someone like Roman Polanski who was convicted of rape and fled from serving time.

Hell, I'd buy that guy a beer. I'm surprised they gave him 25 years for 3 murders, the jury/judge must have sympathized with him.

steve_lou: I'd gladly live next door to him, rather than someone like Roman Polanski who was convicted of rape and fled from serving time.

Me too, but mostly because Polanski has annoying guests over all the time. The statutory rape was obviously immoral, but despite never serving time, he also never repeated the offense - and after 34 years I have to assume he never will again.

FIFY

Well yeah, after 34 years his victim is too old now anyway, even if they didn't live on opposite sides of the earth.

dittybopper:
Well, we don't actually *KNOW* that he didn't do it again. He just hasn't been *CAUGHT* doing it again, and considering the age of consent laws where he was hiding out (14 and 15), and how close that is to the age of the girl he raped (13), he might have been getting some underage strange that would be considered rape in California. Hell, he might not even have had to drug them.

Drug them? She was the one who shared her drugs with him.
It's really easy for a celebrity to avoid getting arrested, but very hard to avoid making a crime public knowledge. Especially a repeat. If he'd done it again, we'd know about it.

/none of this justifies what he did. A one-time crime is still wrong.
