In reply to the discussion: Hardline Arizona Sheriff Suffers Broken Shoulder in Fall, [View all]madamesilverspurs
(15,800 posts)76. Ouch! Can't stand Arpaio, but
I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. When my rotator cuff tore I swore that I'd rather have a root canal without anesthesia, and I meant it. A few years later my other shoulder "froze" and they had to literally jerk it loose; yes, I was anesthetized for the procedure, but when I woke up it became evident to everyone within hollering distance that I'd been raised by a sailor. Shoulder injuries are excrutiating!
In Arpaio's case, the pain is likely to make him nastier than he usually is. Much as I really don't wish him ill, I mostly wish for his speedy recovery for the sake of those around him.

I like neither Arpaio's policies nor politics, but this thread is frankly disgusting

Humane people are indifferent to the injuries of purely evil men like Joe Arpaio.
