gallows humor is essential. It helps one cope with the nasty parts of reality.
though this escape thing is sad. Especially since we don't know what the full story is. We have assumptions and while not flimsy they're also not certain. Even if it's like we think it is. Even if she was being romantic, it's still a situation that shouldn't have ever happened or be able to happen. Heck even non violent prisoners shouldn't be transported by one person. What if that one person breaks their leg in an accident. And you'd think more paper work even would be involved in taking a violent criminal to a psyche eval. I have to go through more steps and confirmations to get a basic check up. If this trips the alarms it should I bet they'll find an alarming level of slack on following procedure.
Another thing people don't talk about is the psychology that also leads to this kind of crap. It's a fact that the prison system not only corrects and punishes which it totally should absolutely do, it's also dehumanizing by design (that's a whole other debate). The thing is that's a big part of why these things happen semi regularly. The fact is even a shit person even a really shitty person is still a human. When they're not dehumanized seeing their good or charming side doesn't cause a rift. But that rift caused by finding out about the part of the bastard that likes puppies, loves their mother, or whatever creates cognitive dissonance. So that's a problem that might have several solutions but if things stay the way they are it will happen again with sparse but alarming regularity. So yeah there isn't any aspect of it that's right, except the piece of shit being back in prison. Oh and that mutant freak of a psycho man gave me the vibe of a person that has psycho charm. You know a manipulative piece of shit basically.
Basically what I am saying is that no matter what she wanted to do there is no place and no way she should have been able to just walk out with that murdering human waste. And it's really fun to think about the costs incurred because of all the rules and regulations and common sense that wasn't followed. Including the cost of the fact that the guys a murderer and the one question in my mind wasn't if he was going back but if he'd end up killing anyone including but not limited to law enforcement. Oh and I can't help but suspect that the self inflicted part of the gun shot is not a sure thing.
Ah that's my two cents. Joke about it. That's healthy but also don't forget that more then a few things went wrong that should not have been possible and the whole thing could have been very preventable.
