I’m in shock that the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, says a lot especially during Pride Month. #loveislove

I believe what this nonprofit is doing is great, there should be more programs or jobs that accept adults with autism. With the proper guidance and teaching, adults with autism can handle doing most task.

Whatever the case may have been, the bouncer shouldn’t have intended to drag someone in the bar. Glad to know his position was terminated but again there should be evident guidelines that’ll make an employee second guess before doing something like this.

I do not see how the anti-suicide bracelets are used to help the prisoners. It seems as if they are made to lower the suicide rates within the prison system by alerting guards when a crisis is in process. There are safe ways to help prisoners cope and overcome the various mental problems they may be battling. What techniques are being used to follow up after an alert besides stopping a suicide attempt? Are they placed back in a cell alone, seeing a therapist, etc? The bracelets are fill-ins because the prisoners aren’t being properly monitored. What about the prisoners who aren’t capable of trying to commit suicide , yet battling with the same mental health issues? The bracelets won’t benefit them, some prisoners may begin to express their pain through aggression towards others, yet they’ll just be looked at as a criminal instead of someone crying out for help. The “anti-suicide“ bracelets doesnt seem to do anything to target the root of why prisoners are committing suicide. Therefore, not solving the actual issue.
