You really have to hand it to 20-year-old Broderick Lloyd Laswell.
Mr. Laswell, a solid candidate for “The Biggest Loser,” thought that he’d figured out a way to make the system work for him, a way to make his life a tad bit easier while he waits for his capital trial for first-degree murder and arson. Instead, Broderick Lloyd Laswell came up with a scheme that will guarantee ridicule and mockery for years to come, much like his attempts to wash his back in the jail showers.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell has filed a federal lawsuit against the Benton County Jail, Benton County Sheriff Keith Ferguson and Benton County Jail Captain Hunter Petray because he feels that the jail he’s being kept in is systematically starving inmates, specifically him, to death.
As proof of this cruel starvation on the part of the government, Broderick Lloyd Laswell has stated that he has personally lost about a half-pound of weight a day over the last eight months he’s been incarcerated. Broderick Lloyd Laswell has going from a hefty 413 pounds all the way down to a svelte 308.
According to the lawsuit Broderick Laswell filed:
If we are being given enough calories a day, we should maintain our body weight. On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out. About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again.
Dear god.
This is an emergency!
Someone please set up a cake frosting IV for the poor lad!
Broderick Lloyd Laswell also mentions in his lawsuit that the portion sizes of cake differ from tray to tray and the sizes of the biscuits that inmates are served are not uniform either.
Hey, stop the abuse! There’s a fat guy who isn’t getting enough cake!
While the jail I work at serves hot meals to inmates, the Benton County Jail has done in a different direction and serves cold meals consisting of such delicacies as sandwiches. Mr. Laswell complains about this as well:
Some meals we are given 2 sandwiches, a very small amount of chips, a small side of lettuce with a drizzle of dressing over the top and two small cookies. Then we don’t eat again until 6 AM the next day! We are being starved to death in here. If an inmate is staying here over a long period of time his or her health decreases and they turn into skin and bones. This is cruel and unusual punishment.
Well, no. No, Mr. Broderick Lloyd Laswell, you’ve yet to experience cruel and unusual punishment. Would you like to see cruelty? This image here is a taste of cruel starvation for you. Why don’t you compare the situation for the people in that photo with the situation you placed yourself in.
Those people were starved and killed for no other reason than being the wrong people in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell was thrown into jail in September and charged with first-degree murder, accused of beating and stabbing a guy named Randy Walker to death on the 30th of August, 2007, then setting his trailer home on fire to cover up his crime. The prosecutor has already stated that he’s going to go for the death penalty for Mr. Broderick Laswell.
Different states have different jail standards that jails are required to maintain. There is a certain average calories per day that inmates are to be offered. There is a minimum light level that usually has to be maintained in a housing unit. A minimum amount of out-of-cell time is to be offered to each inmate. Jails are usually very good at adhering to those standards, as not paying attention to them can get wardens and directors of jails sued and fired. So special attention is paid to minimums by jail authorities who write the policies that jails abide by.
That said.
If you’re looking for good food, jail is not the place to go. For that matter, if you’re looking for good health care, good sleeping conditions or good entertainment, jail isn’t the place you want to be. But since food is what seems to drive Broderick Lloyd Laswell, that’s what everyone will talk about.
In my experience, as a correctional officer, inmates may complain about the food, but they never turn down seconds. Broderick Lloyd Laswell seems to think that being in jail should be like staying at his momma’s house, that he should be fed what he wants in the portions that he wants.
Sorry buddy. Life isn’t like that, especially when you don’t play by the rules.
When you break laws, you show the rest of your society that you’re not capable of following the rules. Because you’re not capable of being responsible and following the rules, society has to help you abide by them.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell, since you were incapable of talking out your differences with Mr. Randy Walker in an acceptable, reasonable fashion, society has taken on the responsibility of feeding, clothing and housing you while we look for a solution to the problem of….you. The rest of us, who manage to go our entire lives without raping, killing, burning or stealing, will voluntarily go without a portion of our earnings so that you have a place to stay, food to eat and clothes to wear while we figure out if we’re going to let you live or not.
If you know someone who will be staying in jail or prison sometime soon, or if you’re thinking about murdering someone and setting their trailer on fire like Mr. Laswell here, you might want to read The Ultimate Guide to Surviving a Criminal Trial and Jail or Prison Sentence. In jail, what you don’t know can actually kill you. It’s rare, but it does happen. More likely, you’ll just get the snot kicked out of you. Learn what you need to know, and go here.

What is up with this? I thought that the judicial system was “innocent until proven guilty”. This man may have himself been caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. if you check on the case, and read the paperwork, there was someone else involved in his case. How dare you act like you know exactly what happened and point fingers? Let me guess, it’s just fun to pick on the “fat” boy. Shame on all of you! How many of you are overweight or got in troble for something you may not have done? Have some sympathy.

Yes! YES!! Shame on us for mocking this fat gelatinous pile of dung. How dare we find humor in BROADrick Lloyd Laswell’s claims that he is no longer able to eat himself to death and make the rest of us watch! What ever were we thinking pointing out that porky here is fucking delusional if he thinks he’s being treated in a cruel manner or that he thinks that he is starving. Did this porcine abomination think he was gonna just get a free ride for fucking up bad enough to land himself in jail? Surely he didn’t think he would be taken to the Chocolate Factory ala Willy Wonka where he could just eat his fat self into a coma.
I don’t give a flying shit if this cunt is guilty or innocent. Put his whiny-bitch ass on a diet if we’re gonna keep him locked up. I don’t want to pay to keep up his ridiculous size. I hope this fat fuck is raped repeatedly regardless of whether or not he should be there in the first place. Anyone this goddam stupid deserves that at a minimum.

KrazyGirl reply on May 3, 2008:
First of all, his guilt or innocence has nothing to do with what he is suing for. He wants to sue because he is pissed that he isn’t getting 3,000 calories/day. Then he complains it could cause medical problems? How about the medical issues that come from obesity; like diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, high cholesterol, etc. plus the cost of the food. That is absolutely ridiculous to think the tax payers should pay for that.
Also, “innocent until proven guilty” BY A COURT OF LAW. This website is NOT a court of law and we are not jury members. Why are so many Americans clueless about the “innocent until proven guilty”? By the way, OJ was found to be “not guilty” by a court of law but I believe he is 100% guilty - regardless. I don’t give a damn if 12 people saw it another way than I did. The jurors opinions of his guilt prove NOTHING to me. So, go blow out your blow
[Reply]
he sounds like he is okay with the quality of the food, but the portion sizes are just too small. i bet they are normal but he is used to binge eating and taking alot more in. and if i were him, i wouldn’t complain, i would instead focus on losing another hundred pounds and not dropping the soap.
[Reply]
Let’s see - he’s down to 300 or so lbs…. if he;s innocent, he will leave jail healthier than when he entered and if he’s guilty he’ll fit right in the chair.
If it’s so bad in there and he has not been convicted, then why not post bond and run to McDonalds??????
While this case is isane, I am sure that there is a lawyer out there who will defend this POS right to be a fat fuck!

Well I guess that this guy knows that all his liberal pals will be running to his defense! Same peolpe who think that inmates need tvs, air conditioning and other luxeries will be sticking up for this guy. However, it does not state what this guy was in for. I think there should be seperate standards for inmates who commit terrible crimes against children. I think if you dont pay your speeding ticket, you shouldn’t be flung into a cell with a guy that just raped and killed a 4 year old. In closing, this is what our world has come to. Being fat is now considered by some as a disease, and if that is the case, a diabetic gets his insulin.

I usually tend to be very liberal in my social beliefs. I find that anyone who claims that 400+ lbs is a healthy weight or should be maintained by a standard intake of calories to be grossly underestimating the caloric cost it takes to support 400+ lbs of weight.
I find nothing about this to be cruel or unusual. In fact, I’d find any special treatment to be an unfair expense.
I am slightly overweight. I am not morbidly obese. If I were incarcerated for a crime, even one I did not commit, I would expect that my normally lush diet would be circumscribed by the confines of the facility.

Dare I ask how much this will cost us? I know we’re going to be paying to have this matter looked into, even if we don’t have to pay court costs. Can we start halving his portions until the extra expense from his stupidity are covered so I don’t have to pay more for him?

This rotund cheesedick is going to die in prison; you’d better get used to the idea.
[Reply]
I think some of ya’ll are missing the point here. Unlike most post that I’ve read on here, this one takes a little personal twist due to the fact the author is a correctional officer. And I can relate to that. This was mostly presented from his vision of the case.
That being said, is he innocent? Maybe, maybe not. Obviously the court found him to be a risk and kept him in a correctional facility until that judgment could be proven.
Still, that isn’t the issue everyone is so hot over. He [Broderick Lloyd Laswell] filed a lawsuit in regards to prison policy. This is what has everyone upset. I personally believe that prisoners have it better than some soldiers on the front lines in Iraq now. I’m sure you well educated people can look that up for yourselves. Mr. Laswell is complaining because he is getting three meals a day, a place to sleep, and doctors to watch over him. It doesn’t seem to meet his standard of care in a tax-funded facility.
I pay taxes. I work hard everyday. I don’t care to hear about my tax dollars being spent to make life better for someone who committed a crime (might not have), when my brothers and sisters in arms are dying from stuff way less than this. If this lawsuit actually holds any weight in the courts, people will commit more crimes just to live off of our dime.
So look at it from an outside view. There are two stories in this. 1) Guy who might have committed a crime and qualifies for hell. 2) Guy who’s in jail wanting to live like a King off our money. Previous stories on this site have been in the following of an ongoing investigation. Give this time. If the case continues to go, I’m sure the person that updates this site will keep us informed.
But I do agree he needs to go to hell for the lawsuit. Damned if I’m going to let inmates live better than soldiers.

Waldo reply on April 29, 2008:
Well Miwist, I’m still open to the thought that he might infact be innocent. Only because the trial isn’t done yet. Jail is jail though. It’s not meant to be vacation.
He’s there for a valid reason. And if later on the local judicial system of that area says he’s innocent, then by all means file a lawsuit for false imprisionment. What ever floats his boat.
However, my magic 8-ball tells me he’ll be loosing more weight in the future.

Miwist reply on April 30, 2008:
Agreed, innocent until proven guilty, however, most people aren’t just put in jail for no reason.
There are a few. A man was released today after 27 years after being wrongfully found guilty.
Still, Broderick Lloyd Laswell is a fat sissy. And if he can use the constitution to say he’s being treated unfairly, I can use the constitution to say he’s a big fat fatso. He’s fat, he’s a fatty. Big as a house fat. A big fat pig. He’s a cow. Oink, oink.
I’m not very mature. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow.

Who gives a shit if he’s innocent, at this point?
Who else gets lucky enough to get on a govt sponsored weight loss program just because they’re a criminal?
Talk about biting the hand that feeds it. Poor sap, biting that hand and then demanding enough calories to sustain 5 million pounds of extra criminal body weight!
STFU already. Jenny Craig would have charged you more, and she wouldn’t have required you to be a loser criminal.
Actually, I agree with the POS in some degree, in that I’d like them being provided with over 5k calories per say, all saturated fat. No healthy diets for you! Provide 5lbs of porkfat per day and just watch the POSs drop like flies from coronaries/strokes. Die already!
In fact, give this guy the DP already, and make room for all the people who would beg for this kind of weight loss.
Stupid fat fuck. Next we’ll be seeing lawsuits from methheads claiming that prison is stunting their drug usage!
And he has such a great case— because 300 plus pounds is SO different from 400 plus pounds. And, gee, neither of them is indicative of a fat fuck that needs an intervention!
Count your lucky stars. You win? What?… means you now get your double-bacon cheeseburgers/Captain Crunch? And instead of us taxpayers supporting your obese fatass in jail, you can be the next reality star getting your house walls cut out to haul your fatass to the ER?
If you are fat enough to do the crime, you are fat enough to do the time. And if you lose weight behind bars, you should reimburse the taxparents for your fat loss.

My wife and I are both sick with a nasty virus. I am back at work and she’s at home in bed.
Because we sold her house last year after renting out to scum which were her friends, we have to pay capital gains tax.
Thus we have had people use the law against us to destroy our property, then tax us for fixing it and now I read how a fat fuck is currently living better than us.
I am sick and yet I have to guide myself in a 4000 lb projectile (car) with 50 lbs of explosives (gasoline) so I can take home 60 or so cents for every dollar I work for while this fat fuck gets meals served to him free!

I don’t think you people get the point. It isn’t the fact that he minds losing the weight, it’s how he lost it and how much he has lost in such a short amount of time.Oh and by the way, I heard he has a close family member who served overseas and just got home. I’m so glad we live in a world of such immature fucking people. Let’s all delight in the fun of making fun of someone that has had a problem with weight. Is this grade school all over again? there was an inmate that went to the Benton County Jail and when he went in, he weighed 180 lbs he was there for a short amount of time and when he got out, he weighed 110 lbs. Maybe he’s doing this to help others also.

Seems like the guy that got murdered is probably a bit more inconvenienced that the person that killed him.

the most we can do as human beings is send another human soul to meet the creator a bit sooner. Methods such as hanging, firing squad or old Sparkey don’t send people to hell, they just send people to meet with their maker a little earlier than expected.
but given most of us have a working knowledge of what God wants with Him for eternety and what God does not like, we are making some assumptions here.
If you want a better idea of who God is, either read The Bible or go to a church that reads The Bible. Lots of good stuff in there and if more people read it and followed it, this site would be boring - people would know better than to fuck children, kill spouses, etc…

Charles Manson killed a good chunk of people, thank God we’re going to support him ’till he dies on his own. Had we had the death penalty in that case, tax dollars would be saved.
I oppose the death penalty for cases that have questionable evidence. Never should someone be put in jail and stay for being innocent. I agree with holding them until a verdict comes out.
But let’s think about this… is it not better to save the money of our people if the person is guilty and is going to die in jail anyway? As cold as it may sound, I can easily look in the prison system and find all the people that commited murder serving life, and say ‘death sentence’ to save tax money.
I stand by what I said before. No prisoner should ever live better than a soldier.
Miwist reply on May 3, 2008:
Once you figure in the appeals process, it’s actually more expensive to execute. Additionally, executions do not act as a deterrent.
I do advocate locking all murderers, rapists, and other sociopaths up, no parole, no getting out - ever, and letting them fend for themselves. They can grow their own food and govern themselves within the 4 walls. Whatever happens, happens, as long as it stays in there. No TV, no shelter provided by the state, no food provided by the state, no visitation - complete isolation from the outside world. Let them live like the animals they are.
Waldo reply on May 3, 2008:
Indeed. I like that. Wish it were true though. The closest we have is a camp in south Arizona. But it’s not as extreme as it needs to be.
infuriated reader reply on May 5, 2008:
Miwist, for once I actually agree. It does say in the Bible that if a man does not work, he does not eat. I oppose the death penalty because I think it’s too easy. They should have to think everyday for the rest of their lives what they have done. I wish the law was worse on child molesters. They get off way too easy. I wouldn’t mind if Benton County grew their own food and the inmates had to plant and work and harvest it. Now as far as shelter and visitation, I disagree. Some are innocent and later are proven to be. It hasn’t happened often, but it does happen. Where would we lock them up if the state didn’t take care of it? Any suggestions? I know you have opinions lol.
Infuriated reader—
I am also 5ft6, and on a bad day I weigh 120. I prefer 117, but oh well. Point is, there’s no way you could weigh 135 at 5ft6, and have a ’size 3; waist, whatever that is. Unless 35 of your pounds is being carried in your fat ankles. I call total BS. Either you don’t weigh 135, or you don’t have a size 3 waist. Or both, more likely. I’m guessing you’re really 5ft3, 165lbs. And you dye your hair and have 20lb implants.
I’m glad you have blonde hair and blue eyes- I’m guessing you posted that to impress upon us how attractive you are. Well, I have brown eyes and red hair down to my waist. So whoopde-do. What does that have to do with some stupid fat fuck complaining that the govt helped him lose a quarter of his body weight for free?
As far as I can tell, nobody here is even discussing his guilt/innocence. They are commenting about his fucking ungratefullness about his weight loss program that taxpayers are footing the bill for.
You may not know that jails/prisons are mandated to provide a healthier mealplan than what people at poverty level can’t afford. So boo-hoo.
I still say, feed the effin porker 12 double-cheeseburgers, 3 milkshakes and 4 sodas a day and let the miserable fuck explode in jail.
I will bet that if you google it, the standard jail/prison diet provides almost double the calories I consume in one day. If you really feel sorry for this loser, then you should also support the pedos who’ve filed lawsuits demanding access to porn, too.
Because, god forbid, that incarceration should be unpleasant at all. If he wanted to spend all day stuffing his piehole, he should have thought twice about putting himself in the position of being incarcerated.
If he’s unhappy with his 3 squares a day, let him commit suicide and free his cell up for people who would welcome losing hundreds of pounds of ugly fat on the public’s dime.
Anyone who feels compelled to post their stats, to imply how hot they are… as if imagining yourself as being hot somehow rates your opinions as being more important than anyone else’s shows how fucked up and insecure you are.
BTW, I’ve also had 2 kids. So what? Because you’re so defensive, I’d guess you’re lying, and you’re still fat. If so, just commit a crime and get on the free gov’t diet plan.
There are a lot of basic rights prisoners should have while in custody. The right to be morbidly obese and pork out and get 3 times the food as anyone else isn’t a ‘right’.
He does have the right to be a stupid fat fuck, and it looks to me like he’s exercising that right. Too bad he’s not exercising anything else.
Fatty and Skinny were lying in bed…
Fatty rolled over and Skinny was dead.
His cellmates should worry and sleep with one eye open so he doesn’t eat them, too.

And, to clarify, I have nothing against fat asses or emaciated skinny asses. I just don’t see how either could expect to commit crimes and then sue to be allowed to wallow in the prison trough, or to be provided with a special diet, like a vegetarian diet, once they’re in jail. And I’m a vegetarian. Food choices and quantity is a luxury and should not be catered to behind bars.
Get your basic healthy minimum daily calories and then STFU.

I think it would be possible for a person to be 5′6 and 135 pounds and be a size 3. My weight has varied between about 100 to a maximum 127 pounds since I was 12 (I’m 5′6 or 5′7) and I’ve always been a size 4. I don’t even notice when I gain weight, or lose it, unless I step on a scale.

This story really is about our tax dollars.
If one prisoner wins a defense of not receiving enough food(has any prisoner starved to death, besides, of their own volition?) we have to cater to felons and feed obese pieces of shit shovel-sized spoonfuls of meat, beans, rice and vegetables.
That is more than most of our own children and the rest of the world eats.

I think GloryBug is right. My wife is 5′8″, 135 lbs. and I believe a size 6. She has reddish hair and blue eyes. Should see our kids. We bred well.
This is about taxpayers, poor decisions that land you in jail, taking responsibility for actions, and free people in the world going hungry.

infuriated reader reply on May 2, 2008:
LOL ok
I’m sorry, but this guy’s complaint had me rolling my eyes. It’s not that I’m prejudiced against fat people–I’ve got some rather hefty friends and relatives myself and know all too well that not all overweight people are “lazy” or “gluttonous.” Some really do have a medical problem that keeps them large.
No, my problem with this guy’s complaint is that he’s in jail and expects special treatment. He’s lost about 100 lbs so far, which tells me that he more than likely does not have a medical problem, but rather an impulse control problem. He should be thanking the penal system, not suing it. I know if I weighed that much, did something dumb and went to jail, I’d see losing that much weight as the proverbial silver lining. But then again, I’m not one to be ungrateful.
The audacity he has to claim he’s being starved angers me for a couple of personal reasons. Reason #1 is that my grandmother is a WWII concentration camp survivor. Those people were starved. When they were liberated, my grandmother, then 13 years old, was 5′6″ tall and weighed 65 lbs. She knows what it is to starve. This guy knows nothing of starvation.
Reason #2 is that the jail probably feeds him more than my doctors allow me to eat. Due to a severe genetic risk (over half of my familly is diabetic) I have developed gestational diabetes and am on a very strict diet in which I have to severely reduce my carbs and fruit intake. Sugary sweets are forbidden to me. I may not consume more than 2000 calories per day and I’m carrying a baby! I have lost weight since becoming pregnant. Yes, I’m hungry and cranky a lot of the time, but I am NOT starving. (The baby and I are monitored constantly to make sure of that.) This guy gets more to eat than I do, loses weight because it’s not as much as he’s used to, and then whines about it. I just don’t feel sorry for him in the least.
There is a difference between being uncomfortable and being starved. This guy sounds uncomfortable to me. But he’s in prison, not a country club. Prison isn’t supposed to be comfortable. What’s he going to want next? A fluffy feather bed with silk sheets instead of the standard cot? A nice massage every night? Give me a break.

This guy is so fat that his picture requires extra bandwidth!
I am glad to see that people are outraged and for many good reasons.
I git yelled at work for usingthe “wrong” crapper. It seems tha 30 or so men are supposed to share 1 crapper. The other crappers are not for our shit - one is for those who have a corporate car and the other two are part of the gym - thus we are down to 1 crappper for the commoners’ crap.
So I am suposed to feel sympathy for someone like this tub of lard?
I will gladly mail him my work crap, as I am sure that he has more rights to take a shit than I!
[Reply]
You know, I love reading this stuff. I ACTUALLY went to school with this guy from kindergarten. I have been around him for 13 years of my life. He has always had a weight issue and always ate more than 2 meals for lunch in high school.
He would go up and order a double lunch, and after that, proceed to the al-a-carte line, where you could order ANYTHING YOU WANTED!! All this within a 30 minute lunch period.
I’m telling you, he has always been this unhealthy. It is something he should be glad about. Over 100 pounds in 8 months!! WOW!! He put himself in jail. Too bad so sad!
Arkansas jail inmates get anywhere from 2300 - 2600 calories a day. That is 300-600 calories over the average caloric intake. So, he needed this if you ask me. It will be better for him, whether he is guilty or not.
[Reply]
He may have been that way in high school, but I’m sure you were one that made fun of him too huh? It’s a VERY small town where he is from. He is loved by many, many people that ACTUALLY know him. You may have went to school with this guy, but did you ACTUALLY know him? Sure he needed to lose the weight, he could lose more and be “better off” . The symptoms he says he has could be un diagnosed type 2 diabetes. I think they should check it out.

sebring2123 reply on May 16, 2008:
Infuriated reader, I can tell you this much, I NEVER made fun of him for his weight. I was in band with him for 6 years. He used to hang out with me and quite a few of my friends. I’m not saying they shouldn’t check it out, I’m just stating what I know.
He is a completely different person than he was in high school. We are all upset about what he has done with himself. I’m not going to let a bunch of internet bloggers try and tell me what I already know is true. Yeah, it was a small town. And me and my friends were a small group of people who actually cared for him and saw him as a friend.
I read in other news reports that he is pissed that he is only getting 3,000 calories a day. If I ate 3,000 calories a day, I’d be a heifer. What the hell is wrong with this guy?
[Reply]
To Infuriated Reader,
First, you need to realizie that he is being charged with a crime punishable by death, not getting enough calories should be the last thing on his mind. If he is truly innocent (which i’m not saying he isn’t or is) anyone would starve (at least i would) to have my name vindicated and proven innocent instead of filing some stupid lawsuit about not getting enough calories.
I have served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to hear that some person in Jail is suing the for not getting enough calories while he is yet to be proven innocent just sickens me. Our men and women are out there with even fewer rations sometimes, doing it for the freedom, come on. Some people are just too comfortable (even in jail).

TurtleMania reply on May 5, 2008:
MarineSgt,
I’m beginning to believe obesity was intended to be the core of his defense.
Who would ever think someone 400+ pounds would commit such an atrocity?
Unless you were impeding there way to McDonald’s, they’d be complacent amongst donuts and cakes.
Perhaps he was to appear as corpulent and lethargic as possible during his trial.
Now the government diet isn’t going to help him win his murder case, will it?
[Reply]
infuriated reader reply on May 5, 2008:
MarineSgt I understand and he does also what he is in jail for. I believe he’s innocent as far as the murder. My husband served as an army Sgt overseas, so I know that end of it too. It isn’t that he’s suing for not getting enough calories, it’s the food they are bein served. I have personally seen a menu for 3 weeks and my best friend that weighs 110 lbs eats more than that in about half a day.I agree that prisoners shouldn’t be treated better than the soldiers.
[Reply]
MarineSgt- I’m going to go out on a limb here and speak my mind (as if I’d never done that before?) and say that things like this bother me:
“Oh and by the way, I heard he has a close family member who served overseas and just got home. ”
WTF does that have to do with anything? Whoremongering, really.
I am absolutely anti-war, but I support the troops who’ve been sent off to war. Just cuz I feel sorry for them. Using references to troops on a board in order to boost the believability of your opinions is pretty low. People who are serving deserve a little more respect than being used in some loser’s post, trying to paint a turd gold.
—”Gluttony:
excessive eating: the act or practice of eating and drinking to excess. Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins in Christian tradition.”
Um, yeah, TurtleMania. and if you don’t mind, can I pee on this POS first? Cuz I’m jonesing for that.
3000 calories per day, standard prison food?
STFU. If I gorged myself like a pig on 3k a day, I’d be a big fat heifer, instead of the 5ft6 120 lb. girl that I am. Complain away, you fat fuck.
And, btw- It is just not believable that anyone could be 5′6, 135 lbs and say they are such a small size….. because I’m that tall, and when I had my kids I weighed 142. Pregnant. When I was not pregnant, and weighed 98lbs, I wore a size one. After my pregnancy I weighed 142, and wore a size 12. I say BS.
But, I would like to know why you having blue eyes, blond hair, and weighing 135 has anything to do with some fatass complaining that the prison system he purposefully chose to be in, by participating in a crime, should have anything to do with any of it.
I don’t care how tall you are, or what your measurements are, because the fact that you seem to be all gaga over an inmate tells me all I need to know.
As far as I know, nobody has the ‘right’ to be a fatass. and taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay anyone’s twinkie bill. You want to be fatass? Pay your own personal insurance policy, and don’t drag the rest of us down with you.
Better yet, man up and take responsibility for your actions- don’t effin do crimes if you’re going to miss your ‘Little Debbies’.
I’m going to guess that the next petty criminal lawsuit is going to be some POS inmate claiming that those same scanty 3000 calories are making them fat, and that the have the ‘right’ to sue the prison to give them a gastric bypass/band procedure.

Everyone is shaped differently. I am no fatass. Just because you were that weight and that height and wore what you did, has nothing to do with me. And you can call BS or whatever you want. Until you have worked a man’s job and got muscles so much that you actually have the muscles of a man, then you can tell me what your measurements were. I don’t really gve a crap either way. BTW how could a person have 35 lbs around their ankles when they can almost wrap their fingers on one hand around them and have heart shaped calf muscles? Do your reasearch, muscle weighs more than fat. Just because a person has blonde hair and blue eyes, doesn’t make them attrative. Your mistake for assuming I was trying to say I was hot. I’m not “gaga” over an inmate. I will not stand up for someone that is guilty of anything like that. You have attacked me verbally on more than one occasion and it isn’t needed. The only reason I put my measurements on here, as I have said, was because I was responding to Miwist. Not you. Everyone has a right to disagree. I have NOT attacked you and it’s really uncalled for.

I admit, I have been really defensive and said things that weren’t nice, but I am not going to attack anyone verbally anymore and I haven’t for a while. And whoever said that his case of murder isn’t what this is about, they are absolutley right. I just get so tired of everyone saying he’s a murder and everything when they don’t know the whole story.
infuriated reader reply on May 5, 2008:
Oh and Glorybug, I resent the fact that you say I’m disrespecting the soldiers. I’m an army wife and I am one that sat at home worrying about my husband and taking care of our children alone and giving birth to our second child without him here. I support the troops fully and will stand by them thru anything. I don’t just feel sorry for them as you do. I live that life. When you can sit at home and hear of soldiers being killed overseas and you haven’t heard from your husband and you are worried and scared and feel helpless and you are going thru everything with home and with him and the children. Oh and taking care of your children wth one asking why he hasn’t heard from his daddy and when is daddy coming home, then you can understand my position. Try doing all that when your husband is deployed and gone for almost 2 years. No I will NOT disrespect our military in anyway. Don’t quote something I typed and twist it to suit your purpose. I have reasons why I say things, and it may not make sense to you, and I don’t really care if it does at this point. I sure don’t have to explain myself to you. Have fun voicing your opinions to this site cause you have nothing better to do.
Okay, so as it stands right now, Broderick is only charged, innocent until blah, blah, blah. Not important right now whether he’s guilty or innocent. He has been formally charged, arraigned, and is in state custody.
The police, prosecuter, and a judge have all agreed that state custody is where Mr. Laswell belongs until his trial.
The state certainly doesn’t need to help Mr. Laswell maintain his weight, they are simply obligated to keep him alive.
If I were in jail, awaiting trial, I’d like cigarettes, but they won’t let me have them. I know this because I’ve been in jail awaiting trial and they wouldn’t let me have cigarettes. After sitting without cigarettes for 3 weeks, they dismissed my charges. I also thought the food sucked, the bed sucked, we had no TV, and I was locked up with criminals. My phone time was very limited, I had no beer, I had no lawyer, no one could visit. Not a pleasant memory. Yet, somehow I survied. I didn’t even bother to sue. What was I going to sue for?
The prosecuter charged me in good faith. The charges were based on a miscommunication, a simple misunderstanding. Still, the system worked.
We also have people that go to sleep hungry every night in America. People that are homeless. Innocent or guilty Mr. Laswell has no right to complain.
Like it or not, the United Sates has a pretty good system in place. The judicial system is far from perfect, but, compared to other countries, not too shabby. If he feels like he’s being treated unfairly, I’m sure people would be more than happy to pony up a few bucks to send him to Mexico, or Turkey, or China.
I only bring up my eye and hair color, weight, and height because, on paper, I fit a standard. Mr. Laswell doesn’t. I don’t have much control over my eye and hair color, or my height. I do have some control over my weight. On the outside, Mr. Laswell also had some control over his weight. It is his choice to be grossly obese, much the same way an alcoholic has a choice. There may be factors that influence weight or alcohol consumption, but ultimately, the responsibility of weight or alcoholism rest on the shoulders of the individual. I know this to be true because I am an alcoholic (sober, for quite a few years).
As for the military, we have an all volunteer force. They are doing the job they signed up for. It drives me nuts when people in the military wear their service on their sleeves. I appreciate what they do, but I also appreciate the lady at the grocery store that takes my money, I appreciate the nice mechanic that keeps the Kia in tiptop shape. I appreciate alot of people but I don’t really care about their lives or their sacrifice. I don’t expect people that work thankless jobs to ask for my thanks. People don’t thank me for doing my job, why should I thank anybody. I make sacrifices, I risk my life - I don’t complain, bitch, or expect anything except a paycheck and the chance to do it again tomorrow. My family makes sacrifices so I can do my job, I had a very disappointed daughter again today because I had to work, but we’ll make up for it, she understands I go to work so we can have stuff like a top of the line Kia.

This is ridiculous. While everyone is innocent until proven guilty, this case actually has a lot of useful details attached to it.
“The motive that they gave had to do with trying to rob him,” said Benton County Prosecuting Attorney Van Stone. “But it’s still under investigation.”
http://www.nwanews.com/adg/News/200647/
According to the report, investigators found blood spatter and blood strains[SIC], a weight bar set and a plastic gas can under the mattress in the bedroom of Walker’s home that help corroborate the men’s statements.
The fact he “helped” kill someone deserves hell enough, but complaining about the prison food and the rate at which he’s losing weight is unconscionable. They came there to steal this man’s money and his gun and ended up taking his life and burning his home to the ground. Their victim will never eat another crumb of bread or scrap of food.
I don’t care how infuriated the reader may have been, but Laswell doesn’t deserve any sympathy, any special treatment or any extra lunches on the taxpayer’s dole or any other.

You know unlike you people, I do have a life and things I need to do besides come on some stupid website. Unlike you people, I don’t like gossip and trashing people. As long as I’ve ever known Broderick, he has NEVER made fun of anyone and was always there to help when I needed him for anything. That makes him a better person to me than most people. And as far as what the DA said, you are going by what someone that is trying to prosecute. They said they went there to rob the man? I can’t go into the truth of what happened and I won’t because I will not hurt his case. So give yourselves a pat on the back for trash talking and not having a life. Congrat’s!

Again, not sure sure how you know Brody, but he may have been different around you than his friends.

It is just petty and fucking ridiculous for this POS to be complaining about starving when the prison is feeding him 3 times a day. I don’t know what prompted this idiot to confuse prison for all inclusive resort where there’s an all you can eat buffet and some feather beds and what not. Perhaps he should have read the memo that prison isn’t all fun and luxurious before he committed his crimes. Either way this bastard disgusts me with his attitude when the prison is doing him a favor, and helping him lose weight that he’d probably be too lazy to lose on his own time. God forbid, they may have even help prevent him from suffering a heart attack tomorrow. Cruel and unusual punishment? The fucking bastard insults all people who have actually starved (including victims of the Holocaust) and/or who are starving. There is a difference between being starved and not being given feeding trough after feeding trough like this worthless pig was used to.
