The Case of King v. Riley 2023 US App. Lexis 20191 And The Sadism of Qualified Immunity By William Thorpe

The quick of this case is two prisoners at South Carolina's Kirkland Correctional facility on April 7, 2017 killed four prisoners within an appx. two-and-a-half-hour span. The estate personified by a brother of one of the killed prisoners, filed a 42 USC 1983 civil rights violation case against the South Carolina Department of Corrections for his brother's death. An act that is permitted within terms of social contract as a condition of the affirmative existence of society and the human condition. In other words, a human being experienced an antagonistic occurrence necessitating repair so within terms of social contract, civil action in a court of law was the freedom of action available. What I want to illustrate is the one and only fact which is, terms of society and the human condition are first and foremost, contrary to the emergence of the industrial revolution and its destruction of artisanal productions isn't as the destructive imperatives would have us accept, averse inculcations. But mere facts of catholic pursuits of self-interests. In other words, we are in society and social contract, not because of the organized violence of the politics viz law but because we objectify existence. So, this is the reality of the intellectual expression within social contract terms pursued by the estate of one of the four killed prisoners.

Now for you the reader. A truth is Social Contract, the next is as human beings in society our humanness is used against us, specifically our ignorance. Not stupidity but ignorance. Which one of our ancestors encapsulated as, [and I paraphrase], tyranny is secreting the workings or applications of society/government from the people ensuring their ignorance thereby exploiting it. This isn't limited to the Occidental world but the Orient, see The Tao Teh King by Lao-Tse. So what we have in the matter of King v. Riley, is first of all if The State of South Carolina only sentenced those killed prisoners to a sentence in prison, not to die, but to be imprisoned and life happened and they were killed, just as life happened resulting in whatever basis for their convictions and the subsequent imprisonment, what terms and nature of social contract then is The State of South Carolina misapplying by exploiting the humanness of its citizens? The answer is simple, keep the people ignorant. Why is this King v. Riley case relevant to the people of The Commonwealth of Virginia? Virginia, along with Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina are subject to the same construction of laws The King case has breathed into existence because they are in the Fourth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals and the construction of law in the King v. Riley case is simply an egregious disdain for humanity.

Regardless of how the estate of the dead prisoner in King v. Riley presented it, the fundamental issue was his brother had died in custody of South Carolina's prison system and as such it was harm that had to be answered. Logically the estate could've responded within the dicta of freedom of action, instead it limited its action to that which maintained the integrity of social contract. As I've already indicated the estate went to court and to make it short the courts complied with the States ask for a dismissal. Meaning The State of South Carolina even as it proclaims unqualified defense of human life could be complicit in the killing of a multiplicity of persons in its care and supervision, yet callously plead non responsibility under a logic and rubric that exposes the fact when we get right down to it, that Law and its application are sophistry dependent on ignorance of the people and not necessarily aversion of organized violence. Another thing, the rubric exploited by the State of South Carolina compromises, betrays and tramples all over the very reason it participated as a colony in rebellion and the subsequent success over its colonial master, Great Britain. By assuming a dictatorship as sovereign, the same relationship it rebelled against. And we see its antithetical nature independent of subject in cases as King v. Riley with its assertion of qualified immunity. First of all the application of qualified immunity undermines the no one is above law or equality before law integrity of social contract and its grounds is sophistry. Qualified Immunity allows "officials" to plead ignorance and whatever they're accused of violating as not being developed law at the time of its violation. So in the case of King v. Riley, a salient point was an official of The South Carolina Department of Corrections, Sergeant Dewaun McKan of the Kirkland Facility confirmed that in the killings of the four prisoners by two prisoners on April 7, 2017 he violated prison policies by failing to comply with security procedures. To which appellate judges on the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit actually ruled that his security violations irrespective of four dead persons didn't violate the US Constitution and the infamy of the ruling was the seemingly gleeful quote..... "Yet the [US] Constitution does not " obviously "require he [Sgt McKan] look in the cells to mitigate the risk of inmate-on-inmate violence" (King v. Riley 2023 US App. Lexis 20191). What the dead of King v. Riley ask of us and instruct is travesties are being done in our name.
