No, they weren't. Nice try, troll. |

The usual gaslighting by liberals on this thread is noted. Just astounding that Democrats *always* rush to the defense of violent criminals, and even more so if those violent criminals happen to be gang members in the country illegally. Naturally, zero sympathy for the guards who were stabbed by these thugs.
An attack by inmates at a Virginia prison injured five guards, according to state corrections officials who said most of the assailants were MS-13 gang members who entered the U.S. illegally. The attack was apparently premeditated, the officials said. Three guards were stabbed and taken for medical treatment along with two others hurt Friday at Wallens Ridge State Prison in western Virginia, the state Department of Corrections said. The agency said in a press release that six inmates involved had all been convicted of violent crimes including murder and rape and that five of them were "confirmed MS-13 gang members from El Salvador, who were in this country illegally." It said the sixth inmate was a U.S. citizen with ties to a different gang. "Five of the individuals responsible for this senseless attack should never have been in this country in the first place," Chad Dotson, director of the Virginia Department of Corrections, said in a statement. "Every single day, our officers put their lives on the line to ensure public safety for the more than 8.8 million people across the Commonwealth. This attack is an example of the dangers they face when they show up to work every day." |
Working in prisons is super dangerous. Thousands of guards are attacked every year. It's weird that you're so preoccupied with this particular instance. It seems like you really just hate immigrants and are looking for a reason to justify that hate. |
Well, just for starters - these murderers and rapists were not supposed to be in the country in the first place. We have enough of our own murderers and rapists. Secondly, I haven't heard anything about a premeditated attack on prison guards by a group of inmates in a very long time. Have you? If so, post it. And finally, do keep up your defense of violent illegal gang members - because that's who we're talking about here. I'm sure you'll continue trying to spin this as if these thugs were the salt of the earth who deserve our compassion and empathy. This is why no one takes Democrats seriously. You are not serious people. |
Wow. It’s completely sick that you’re defending violent criminals who have no right to even be in this country in the first place, and instead blaming innocent prison guards simply for showing up to work to earn money for their families. Very sick. - legal immigrant |
You sound deranged. The rest of us don't give a shit about prisoners or prison guards. There's 10,000 attacks on prison guards every year. It's weird that you only care about the teeny, tiny percentage of those attacks that involve illegal immigrants. Where's your concern for the vast majority of guards who are attacked by American criminals? |
Amen, PP. Suddenly MAGA is "concerned" about prison/jail guards BECAUSE some were attacked by migrants. They're concerned in the same way they're concerned when an attractive, young white woman is murdered by a Black man or an undocumented migrant--that becomes national news--but don't care when it's a young, Black/Hispanic/Native American woman who is murdered. When it FITS THE NARRATIVE, they salivate like Pavlovian dogs. |
I don't think you actually care about these guards. I think you just want to exploit their pain to advance your own political agenda against illegal immigrants. |
Edward Martin has entered the chat. You should be more focused on the Senate. They're about to kill your nomination. |
If they really cared about prison guards, they’d support pay increases for them and also stop trying to outsource to private for profits that do everything on the cheap. Have any of you looked at the wage scale for correctional officers? It’s terrible. Way way lower than other law enforcement. It’s probably the worst job in the country when you factor in both pay and working conditions (unless you’re in the take or dealing in the prison, in which case the money isn’t bad.) Most prisons in this country are horrifically understaffed due to the fact that it’s a terrible terrible job—that understaffing leads to incredibly dangerous conditions. I DO care very much about correctional officer safety and you never see the conservative press writing about these very real worker safety issues. |
| The fake liberal outrage is so hilarious. None of you, and I mean NONE of you, ever cared about or discussed due process before. All the people deported under Biden without due process, were you whining then? Under Obama? Whined then? It is so fake. You now defend gang members but pretend like it was always about due process. Hilarious. "Due process" and "constitutional crisis" are the current buzz word no liberal ever muttered in their life until the last few months. Hook. Line. Sinker. Media got ya. |
Apparently there aren't enough serious criminals to deport. They are now having to go after everyone else since they have challenging quotas. |
| These illegal alien gang members are just here to do the prison crime that American inmates won’t do themselves. American prisoners are too lazy and unmotivated to stab guards, so these illegals are filling the void and doing the stabbings that American prisoners are too lazy to do. We should commend their drive, initiative and work ethic. |
It was created here by Salvadorians. They are coming in from El Salvador and recruiting in our schools |
"TIMES SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police have arrested several young suspected gang members after an alleged assault on two NYPD officers in Times Square last week. The suspects range in age from 12 years old to 19 years old." Looks like elementary schools are the proper place to find them |
