(102,377 posts)it may well be that his "stupid" goes even further than an innate lack of intelligence (and perceived-grievance-driven susceptibility to manipulation). Regardless of the cause, though, his inability to control his emotional outbursts and anger makes him dangerous.

(10,247 posts)First I thought he injured it breaking in, but the damage looks older than that. Maybe from shooting up drugs? Ive heard people end up injecting themselves in all sorts of places as their veins become damaged. I dont know what that would look like but Ive been stuck in the hand when they couldnt get me in the arm.

Just lay back and let the warmth of federal prison just wash over you.
