PROBATION for Alvador Thompson? Working as a nursing aid in private sector?
ReplyDeleteThis is insanity and criminal.
That tells you the worth of the victim's life = 0. Makes me sick to even think of what she did.
Now I have to ask IF Thompson had done this to a child in her care, what would the outcome be?
Would she get probation?
Would she be in a position taking care of young children?
You be the judge and jury on this.

ReplyDeleteInvoluntary manslaughter? Good grief, she knew the stuff was piping hot.
ReplyDeleteSHe may not have intended for the man to die, though.
Perhaps we need a new catagory: voluntary torture.
Sue, you're saying it straight!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, people don't do background and criminal checks so Alvador Thompson will likely land a new job and this same thing could happen again.
ReplyDeleteIt's preposterous.
Probation? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
