A person detained in the Everglades was handcuffed and left outdoors in the sun as punishment

[Swede]

They sure had no problem finding sadists to man their gulags.

1. Cruel and unusual punishment

2. S&M torture seems more like it. n/t

5. This is not S&M

Comparing this to consensual adult sexuality instead of what it is -- cruel and unusual punishment, a violation of the Constitution -- only helps the Trumpists.

Hard to tell from your comment if you were kidding or serious - if it's the latter, there's a lot of info available online on how SM differs from abuse.

Today happens to be an annual celebration of sexual freedom in California, Dore Alley, which will certainly be ended if the Trumpists succeed in taking over the entire country.

4. Let me fix the headline

"The American people handcuffed a man and left him outside in the Everglades blazing sun. The man pleaded with the American people to bring him inside. As mosquitoes feasted on his exposed flesh, and despite his pleas, the American people left him shackled outside for hours."

Don't fucking look away America! This is what we've become.

6. See that, the hateful rhetoric of the "other" opens the door to this kind of behavior.
