I can't believe how many people are taking the sides of the guards. The prisoners were serving a prison sentence and them all being shot at is clearly unjust. The government would have sentenced them to death if they though they deserved it. They didn't deserve it so they were put in prison but some got the death sentence anyway because of some trigger happy guards. It surprises me that people think that criminals are any less of a person because of the crimes they committed. It's scary really.

yeah. i can see the prison right from my house. this is actually a pretty safe place to live because if they want to get out they will go far away. not anywhere in the town.

anyone who sides with the guards and the feds need to watch the Attica Prison Riot- Disturbing the Universe POV on PBS video over on the suggested videos on the side there ----->. At the end you can see the troopers celebrating and yelling "white power" after the massacre. I am white and those ignorant bastards had no business with a weapon. They killed them like fish in a barrel.

My grandfather was a state trooper at the time and filmed most of the riot. He just gave me a couple hours' worth of footage that I'm thinking of uploading if I can get his permission.

The people who take the side of the guards and/or justify the guards for murdering other guards—were basically raised and weaned on the American news media: That would qualify them as politically retarded in most places of the literate world.

[IhaveTubes]

it's the fucking bankers, the politicians There the bad guys.

[the11mrcharlie]

AlexEGB you are a retard! Every CO that was killed during the riot was shot and killed by the NYS Troopers, just like the convicts were. You are obviously misinformed as you refer to trigger happy guards. You suck. Put on a uniform and try to do the job yourself, you idiotic scumbag.
