Here is the crux we are a society of law, not behavior but law. What I'm stating isn't mere sophistry, to the superficial, the shallow, the peddler in Berkeleian negation a fight with windmills will begin as response and reaction, which in other words is that indulgence of "self-checking" oneself, because it's much more comforting to stay mired in the lies and distortions that has become our social intelligence. But its pretty simple, the Virginia prisoner is a creation of law and not behavior and I ask you the reader to find any of the actually and not pro forma "proven" or alleged predicate behavior or acts by the convicted and imprisoned Virginia prisoner that isn't contextually what Virginians do and have done. The criminality of Virginia's George Washington, The Nations numero uno President, through the rapist and schizophrenic in Chief Thomas Jefferson, along with his henchman James Madison, bookending it with the current savagery of the Virginia prison official. Yes philosophically and polemically we indict the behaviour, while Virginia law averts its all seeing gaze of no one is above it, from the behaviour, but on two accounts (1) it isn't criminalized (2) it isn't prosecuted. So if the Virginia prisoner is a creation of law, which then means the imprisonment, circumstance and condition are all facts of and creations of law, then we have to interrogate the "as it is reality" under the rubric of compliance to law, minus the qualification and condition of that extra-judicial scheme of deference, if the results, its impact, its consequence are harmful, destructive and dehumanizing. What this means is if Virginia wants to wield fiat sapiens as law, omniscient and all knowing, then it must account for harm done to, endured and suffered by the prisoner which it summarily describes and characterize as unintended, which we rightly and categorically will and do reject. Notwithstanding that Law has its provisions or process for snuffing out life, it still doesn't permit or allow extra-judicial impositions causing the experienced harm of the imprisonment. A few years ago Virginia justifiably and commonsensically abolished its presumptions of snuffing out life as criminal sanction. Virginia's current application of law upon the purported repudiation of its 1871 RUFFIN v. COMMONWEALTH 62 VA.290 doesn't allow it to cause harm to the prisoner, during the imprisonment. In other words Virginia and her People, her citizens haven't declared that its lawful, for the terms and nature of Virginia's imprisonment to be harmful to the prisoner, yet that is what is happening as a result of the "behaviors" of the Virginia prison official. Our political leaders haven't provided the people of Virginia with irrefutable and irreproachable facts, that, for example, epigenetic harm, high blood pressure, strokes kidney disease, psychosis and suicides just to name a few are happening to the Virginia prisoner independent of the imprisonment as fact of law. When Virginia, as The People exercises its "will" as organized violence by detaining and confining, we, consequently will not then accept the proposition and presumption, that Virginia is flying at the seat of its pants, trial by error, let's see what works and what doesn't, speculations of experimentation. The issue isn't that of what is to be done about criminality and human deviance. We recognize the social cohesion of law, what we don't is its extra-judicial existence. Imprisonment isn't a speculative and theoretical exercise, its done in the name of the People of Virginia who must debate it.
