I wouldn't wish it on anyone said man who wished it on other people.

    One could argue it's about the only truly consistent thing. Their beliefs change at the whim of whoever they've attached themselves to.

    It's almost like the defining characteristic of conservatives is a complete lack of empathy.

    This won't change his ideology, only his stance on ICE.

    I've thought about working correctional nursing because I love the population but I don't think I could stomach how they get treated. Psych is bad enough sometimes but at least the stated goal there is actually improving people's lives (with admittedly variable degrees of success). ICE has to just be unconsciensable. I can barely even imagine the working end I'm sure the ass end is terrifying.

    you'd probably rather enjoy it. gran did. she got to offer humanity to the inmates she worked with, and they appreciated it. didn't have a problem with a single inmate the entire time she was there, the way she told it.

    Eh forensic psych was not great. At a certain point people start asking you to help cover shit up. Not that that's never happened in psych but hospitals tend to have easier to navigate reporting systems.

    that is a very good point. psych might be a little different, gran was an RN. Most of my exposure to the psych end of prison/hospital was the CNA sitting at the end of the room in the hospital, reading a book and collecting a third shift, making sure the patient didn't have some kind of outburst or behavior. occasionally flanked by corrections officers (who the nurses would have to make behave on occasion) when said patient was an inmate.

    My heart bleeds for him.

    I don't condone what ICE is doing at all, I think it's wrong even when they turn on their own, but if you're going to live by the sword, then you may well die by the sword.

    Do you think he is against ICE's behaviour in general now, or is it only bad when it happens to him?

    I guess the question is are we going to let conservatives run this nation so far into the ground that we have to repeat the thing where U.S. soldiers made German citizens view concentration camps and help bury the bodies to make conservatives understand the error of their fascist ways?
