WARNING: Gratuitous State Sponsored Terrorism & Torture follow
(Parental Discretion Advised)
Many have read the macabre scene in 1984 of the torture in room 102 visited upon those who are disobedient to Big Brother. But we slap ourselves into relief that this description must be artistic license and the creative imagination of the author, George Orwell. The book closes with the sobering warning that ‘obedience’ to Big Brother is insufficient for the state’s purposes, that we are required to ‘love’ Big Brother. For those who harbor reservations about how far the perversion of America has descended, do not avert your eyes or ears from the following disturbing video clip of the torture of a Maine prison inmate:
Published on Apr 8, 2013
Captain Shawn Welch ultimately received a 30 day suspension for his conduct. Typically, (much like Rumsfeldt’s reaction to reports of torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by U.S. Forces) Maine authorities are not investigating the torture and abuse of prisoners, but are investigating to find out who leaked this video to the press.
Excerpt from story written by David Hench of Portland Press Herald:
The Maine Department of Corrections wants to determine how the press obtained video and documents about a captain’s treatment of an inmate last year.
The video and related documents recount how Capt. Shawn Welch, an official at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham, used pepper spray on an inmate who was bound in a restraint chair, then left him in distress for more than 20 minutes.
Officers restrained Schlosser in a restraint chair so the medical staff could treat his arm, because he refused to go to the medical unit voluntarily.
When one officer pinned his head to the chair, Schlosser struggled and spit at an officer. Welch sprayed him at close range with pepper spray, called OC spray, from a canister intended to be used on multiple people at a distance of 18 to 20 feet, according to an investigator’s report.
Welch then refused to let Schlosser, who said he couldn’t breathe, wash his face for 24 minutes. A spit mask was placed over Schlosser’s mouth and nose, trapping the pepper spray against his face.
