I would be happy to sign a letter asking Mr Coombs to start such fund or let us know how to contribute. I'd appreciate if someone with better skills than mine writes a letter, and also asks that fund should accept donations from abroad.

No medical care for prisoners? Seriously? uppityperson Aug 2013 #7

No medical care? You are completely over the top. DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #14

What the fuck is wrong with you?! demmiblue Aug 2013 #8

So, according to you prisoners should have no access to medical care? idwiyo Aug 2013 #9

Medical Care... in military jail is DEFINED by the Militarty Court. DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #13

You compared medical care with getting 50' TV and a pair of slippers. Care to explain that? idwiyo Aug 2013 #15

Hormonal treatment IS a medical care. You on the other hand think it's equivalent of 50' TV. idwiyo Aug 2013 #27

He/she cant. Theyre too busy throwing personal attacks at the moment. nt darkangel218 Aug 2013 #29

They know their comment is pure transphobic bigotry. They have no other way to defend that but idwiyo Aug 2013 #44

Hormonal Treatment is NOT medical treatment, ask the ARMY! DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #31

I am asking you to explain YOUR comment comparing medical treatment for genetic condition with idwiyo Aug 2013 #43

I didnt alert on that post. darkangel218 Aug 2013 #93

could you possibly have posted a sillier response? cali Aug 2013 #35

I usually find there is a correlation to the amount of posts to real world experience DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #37

yes. I'm incapacitated by a condition called CRPS cali Aug 2013 #50

Did she get convicted or not? What reality are you in? DontTreadOnMe Aug 2013 #47

Not important to you because you apparently dont care for truth or justice. darkangel218 Aug 2013 #58

The presumption is: "if you support Manning's verdict, then you support the war crimes in Iraq" Kolesar Aug 2013 #71

That is just wrong. Absolutely false. morningfog Aug 2013 #74

Prisons in the US routinely deny basic medical care to prisoners. backscatter712 Aug 2013 #79

It's clearly a medical issue. Prisoners have the right to decent medical care. backscatter712 Aug 2013 #76
