View Full Version : Lowest scumbags on earth. Fight club where mentally handicapped were forced to fight

March 15th, 2009, 6:22 pm
Six employees of a Texas home for mentally disabled adults have been charged with encouraging residents to fight each other. The "fight club" ring at the Corpus Christi State School was discovered by cops after investigators obtained cell phone videos showing the workers goading residents to brawl in common areas of dormitories at the state facility. Police have identified the six arrestees, who have been charged with felony indecency to a disabled person, as: Guadalupe Delarosa, 21; Timothy Dixon, 30; Stephanie Garza, 21; Vince Johnson, 22; Dangelo Riley, 22; and Jesse Salazar, 25. According to court complaints, copies of which you'll find on the following pages, a Samsung phone was found March 3 at a Corpus Christi clothing store and turned over to police, who discovered videos showing "mentally disabled residents engaged in physical fights that were being recorded by staff members." Some of the fights (which caused injuries to facility residents) were allegedly filmed by Dixon, who also narrated the fisticuffs. On one video, Riley can be seen "kicking at a resident during an encouraged fight," according to one complaint. (4 pages)

Bernie Madoff was religious.
How moral was he?
Religion sets moral standards, it does not mean that people who go to church are thereby magically imbued with those same morals. And, if that's the case, then not going doesn't magically strip one of morality. Gee, that must mean that it is up to the individual to live morally, and that religiousity is not the ultimate key...

I agree with you up until the religious bit. Religion and politics have little if anything to do with this incident.
One of my best friends lives in a "home" like this. I honestly do worry about her, because crazy things happen in environments like this. I've made a point to meet as many people there as possible, and all I can do is trust them at this point.
I check up on her as much as possible, and send her letters to brighten her day.
This is terribly, terribly sad.

It happened in a school and schools are dominated by liberals. It may not be a liberal State but it is a liberal Job. After all, liberals want to help the helpless, house the homeless, empower the powerless, enrich the poor and all that schlock.
Proper conservatives wouldn't hold such a job. That's a job for bleeding heart libs, not for decent cold-blooded get-a-haircut and get-a-real-job conservatives.

So you dont think society has a duty to help those who through no fault of their own are unable to help themselves. The weakest and most vulnerable in society must be able to rely upon the rest of the society to take care of them.
I am not talking about people on welfare or people who through their own choices have landed on hard times but people born with real physical and mental disabilities or those who have received them in later life.
I am sure Jesus Christ would be so pleased that those who shout loudest about being a christian are the same people that dont have a charitable bone in their body or even any sort of social responsbility except its everyone on their own.

Charles Carroll - signer of the Declaration of Independence | Portrait of Charles Carroll
" Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." [Source: To James McHenry on November 4, 1800.]
Benjamin Franklin: | Portrait of Ben Franklin
“ God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech
John Adams:
“ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
• “[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”
–John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress
John Jay:
“ Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” Source: October 12, 1816.

This local cop I knew and worked with took a bullet to the brain. His wife had enough time to be rushed to his side down a route 93 cleared of all traffic, say her goodbyes, and let him go. This guy was such a good, solid joe he had perps writing from prison to sing his accolades. Guys he put there. Guys he arrested.
A class act in everything he did.
He's why people weep when an officer is killed in the line of duty. He's why strangers line the street to say goodbye. He's why notorious gangsters refused to hurt honest, decent cops just keeping the peace.
I doubt Briggs ever laughed at the plight of retarded victims.

Wow...This has go to be one of the most ****ed up things I've ever heard about...Maybe that's because growing up with a sister with CP and being around disabled people my entire life, they have a special place in my heart. They didn't ask to be this way, but you know I'm sure if you asked a lot of them, they wouldn't want to be any other way. Because of the challenges they face they should be bitter, and angry with society, with themselves, with their families, with God...but you know, mentally challenged people are some of the most humble and loving people you'd ever want to meet...Sure not all of them are, but if they're not, well, IMO they've got every right to be ****ed.
And then these workers in this facility, that are suppose to care for them treat these human beings as if they're nothing more than rabid pitbulls....this really chaps my ass.
And then, to read some of the comments in this thread making this whole thing be a big joke...well, let's just say I've lost some respect for some folks on this board today.
And no, I'm not a bleeding heart liberal, and I'm just your everyday guy that knows there are some things that we can joke about...and those of you who know me know that I love to joke...but some things can't be laughed about, and this is one of those things.

I get that...I've been guilty myself of an innocent joke about a type of disability...I think most of us have...I've got no problem with that.
All of us at one point or another has said to someone, "Are you blind?" or "Are you deaf?" Or something of the sort...not meaning it in a derogatory fashion towards people with these disabilities...just saying it in jest.
But the people at this institution have no heart...If they are making these people do these acts then God only knows what other acts they are trying to get them to do, or have had them do.

My wife's sister has Down's Syndrome. For my wife and her kin, this can sometimes be a real drag. My wife's childhood was devoted to protecting her older sister and acting as her translator. She missed out on a lot, because of the simple fact of birth order. She will speak in exasperation, of her sister. Because it can be exasperating to interact with someone who's brain is less flexible (and I summarily reject the false theory that DS is a kind of stupidity).
But, I pity an outsider who does the same.

For the record: I was not making jest at the victims in all of this, but rather people who work at the waffle house. Some people are so sensitive. I think Johnny Knoxville did a service to the mentally handicapped when "The Ringer" was made. They had people that were afflicted with various handicaps throughout the whole movie. From what I understand from the articles and interviews from that movie, alot of them do not want pity and they can also laugh at themselves as well. There are lessons to be learned in Family Guy, South Park and alot of other off-color shows.

It happened in a school and schools are dominated by liberals. It may not be a liberal State but it is a liberal Job. After all, liberals want to help the helpless, house the homeless, empower the powerless, enrich the poor and all that schlock.
Proper conservatives wouldn't hold such a job. That's a job for bleeding heart libs, not for decent cold-blooded get-a-haircut and get-a-real-job conservatives.Bad form, boss. We're talking about mentally handicapped people here; not welfare cheats and lazy liars who stand around with "Will work for food" signs. Perhaps if more conservatives did take on those jobs, the people would get the help they need and decent treatment.

This local cop I knew and worked with took a bullet to the brain. His wife had enough time to be rushed to his side down a route 93 cleared of all traffic, say her goodbyes, and let him go. This guy was such a good, solid joe he had perps writing from prison to sing his accolades. Guys he put there. Guys he arrested.
A class act in everything he did.
He's why people weep when an officer is killed in the line of duty. He's why strangers line the street to say goodbye. He's why notorious gangsters refused to hurt honest, decent cops just keeping the peace.
I doubt Briggs ever laughed at the plight of retarded victims.:clap:

Dogs however can live on their on without ever having contact with a human.

Be it that it's factual or not doesn't change the fact that it's a ****ed up thing to say.
Yes many dogs can survive on their own, it's called animal instinct. Most humans can survive on their own, but there is that small percentage that can't. It's not their fault, they didn't askto be this way. They aren't criminals, who are the only people that deseve to be compared to animals.
These are good people that life and or genetics was unkind to. Do they deserved to be punished and treated like animal? Hell no.

Could it a lack of respect for oneself that compels someone to make such a sickeningly stupid comment?
Or could it a complete lack of compassion?

Wait a second. Fidelis has obviously got something wrong with him. Would a lack of compassion be any different than a lack of mental or physical strength? He has obviously had some sort of traumatic experience in his life that makes him spout such cruel and hurtful things about another person. Maybe it's time for a group hug and we'll let him know that he is different in his own special way and though his hurtful words may be ugly to us, he is still a unique snowflake.

I've actually kept my mouth shut because a few posts in this thread were insulting, so I let it go, not now though.
I have a half sister, and through no fault of her own, which I won't go into, she was born when she was 6 months along in her mother's pregnancy, she was born in the 1950's and they didn't think she'd survive, they put her in an incubator, turns out she was born retarded, and the incubator caused her to be blind. All I'll say about her situation is that my father divorced that woman and got custody of my sister.
In the 1960's my sister had to be institutionalized, she was sent to Willowbrook on Staten Island, you're a New Yorker and I assume you're old enough to remember the horrors of Willowbrook, where my sister like other patients were abused.
My sister has every right to be in this world, and the world I want to live in is a world where people are compassionate towards people like my sister.

Actually, my sister had to be removed from the home. I was born in the 60's, when I was a baby and would cry my sister would feel her way into my room, the doctors said that she wouldn't intentionally hurt me, but she could accidently hurt me, they also told my parents that she needed to be institutionalized because she had "fits", this is the 60's, maybe if it was 20 years later they would've recommended something else, but the doctors told my parents that she needed to be put away so that I could have a normal childhood. If you saw the movie Rainman, it was eerily similar to my situation.
My Father tried, til the day he died to find an institution here in NJ for her, no 1 would take her because she wears a diaper. If I could have her here with me I would, but no 1 will take her here, they won't release her from NY.

No, I'm not saying that causes people to abuse, but the risks are higher IMO. My daughter worked for a facility for people with mental illness. She was great in her job, and they loved her.
All I'm saying is if staffing is stretched so thin, then residents and those who care for them are not being monitored, and if staff is mistreated or taken advantage of or treated as expendable, don't be surprised if they don't act compassionate in their job.

Sure it can happen. But abuse can happen in the private facilities and in private homes with a family member too and does. It is the abuser I blame. But they do love those who make excuses for their bad behavior. I do not. You abuse,you get the blame. Children blame others. Adults accept responsibility.

I have a cousin who has Asperger Syndrome. He lives on his own because we help him as a family to do so. I think once you place the face of a loved one in the mix of this behavior it loses it funny for some of us. Well actually I never found it funny but the thought of my sweet cousin ever being treated this way makes my heart ache and my anger rise.

What is a matter with some people? And then liberals say we don't need religion because you can be moral without it!
Yeah, you can sure tell that by the way society has gone down hill. Just look at television on any given night.
:rolleyes:
I'll not touch the religion or morality of libs or conservatives...as I don't believe it fits this situation. How many threads have we had in the past months and years showing both sides of the political aisle to be...well human? To many to count..that's how many.
Dreamy posted this facility/campus web page. By all appearances, it looks like a nice place, with qualified staff and programs for the mentally retarded/impaired. Like most modern campuses, the programs, staff and residents are in a home type environment that appears like any college campus today...with dorms and common area's attached. Many of the residents choose to be there for training....and...to have some independence from their parent(s). Others are wards of the court, with no were else to go.
This isn't some horrific State run facility like Bryce, Spencer, Clairmount and others that ran the institutions like some horrific medieval torture chamber. Family's would by coercion from the medical profession, (ie doctors) would convince the family that this was for the best. :rolleyes: As Bally posted, it was common all through the 60's and into the early 70's.
The only way through this specific stupidity is a group mentality of some staff who thought it would be funny to see mentally challenged individuals fight. Very mature..... :confused: However; had a few of the males residence asked one or more of the staffers to show them how to 'protect 'themselves...then who is to say that this is how this all started?
Hey...it could have started out innocent enough...turning into something grotesque down the line. Until there is more information...I'm gonna stick with poor judgment from immature staffers who thought they'd get a kick or two by taking advantage of those in our society that needs our compassion, love and understanding. It's not an easy job...challenges abound when working in this area...challenges that can tax you to your very last nerve.....:silenced:

Perhaps but sometimes the high road is the better road when you know there are people here with loved ones in facilities or suffering from mental illness etc....
Sometimes the classy thing to do is take your gallows humor to a PM with those who share it. And that is my take.

I agree...that's just twisted. :wall: Makes one wonder just how well supervised these few employee's were while this type of thing went on.
My Aunt, who is mentally retarded, never had to live in a group campus type setting like this one. She and her husband do live in a private group home setting now....they are older/aging, and need supervision for day to day activities. I can't imagine what I would do if something like this happened to them...just makes your stomach turn. :confused:

Ive probably saved more lives in 5 years than anyone judging me has in their entire lifetime.

Thanks for saving those people. That is what I am speaking of. And I extend that to those who cannot possibly survive in our world without the help of others.

So, what about children in an orphanage?
Old folks in a retirement home or nursing home?
If they were treated in a way such as this would you find that funny as well?
I think it's great that you are a law enforcement officer...and for that I respect you, as I do every man and woman that puts themselves on the line everyday for the sake of others.
But don't accuse people of being over dramatic, don't say that some talk the talk but don't walk the walk...Many do, yes...but you don't know the people on this board...you don't know what we've had to deal with.
Walking the walk doesn't matter if you've made a difference in one person's life or one million. Either way, you've walked the walk.
I mentioned earlier in the thread, perhaps you missed it...My sister had CP, and severe brain damage...we didn't have to put her in a home...my parents had decent jobs and good insurance and we were able to have around the clock nursing for her...We had a couple of nurses over the years that were pieces of ****...one stole some of my mother's jewelery...another neglected my sister while we were at work and school...leaving her in a soiled diaper, not bathing her, not feeding her...Needless to say, these nurses didn't last very long around our house.
As someone who knows first hand how worthless some people can be when it comes to tending to the sick and needy, you would think it would make me sour towards the people of the health care profession...But, we're talking two out of 40-50 nurses that we had over that 12 years. There are *******s everywhere.

This local cop I knew and worked with took a bullet to the brain. His wife had enough time to be rushed to his side down a route 93 cleared of all traffic, say her goodbyes, and let him go. This guy was such a good, solid joe he had perps writing from prison to sing his accolades. Guys he put there. Guys he arrested.
A class act in everything he did.
He's why people weep when an officer is killed in the line of duty. He's why strangers line the street to say goodbye. He's why notorious gangsters refused to hurt honest, decent cops just keeping the peace.
I doubt Briggs ever laughed at the plight of retarded victims.

How easily your passions are aroused! Gets your little jabs, because you know JACK**** about me or fidelis.

I shut down most, but CID now has a new tactic.
If you make a unpopular comment/view, and someone is offended and goes after you for that comment rather than the comment itself, according to CID its your fault if things get personal, its not the fault of the person going after you personally for your view.
I know, its strange, but I think we just entered bizarro world w/ CID.
The thing is, if it was one comment ok, two, meh....but several comments making the whole thing a joke, that's what ****ed me off...You can ask anyone on here that knows me, I joke about everything...but mentally disabled people and children are two lines that should never be crossed.
And as far as the Bizzaro World thing goes, well, yeah maybe my world compared to your's is bizarre...but apparently your's is bizarre to me as well.

Ok so CID has qualified. One comment its not my fault, but more than one comment and people are not required to have personal restraint, they can go after someone personally, of no fault of their own.
Thanks for clarifying, bizarro world in full effect.

Let me translate.....had the hyper-sensitivity crowd not went nuclear, nothing more than a passing comment would have been made.......but once righteous indignation turned in to aspersions on character, and ultimately, to asinine stories about cops, and what constitutes a good one or a bad one, based on some black humor, it kind of becomes an involved discussion.
Let me break it down for all of you........dirt bags abused their position, encouraged folks under their care to engage in activity that could have caused the to be seriously injured, for their own amusement, and are now RIGHTLY BEING PROSECUTED!
I didn't have jack **** to do with creating the situation at this facility......nor did fidelis......so our crime was a couple of less than sensitive off the cuff black humor comments? BRING OUT THE LYNCH MOB!

I will admit some of my posts are over the top. Its a humor that many cops have, that people should realize doesn't make us bad people or incapable of emotion. I'd give my life for anyone at anytime. I took an oath. However, I'm allowed to spout off with unpopular opinions on a messageboard without some keyboard hero questioning my integrity or telling me I have to worry about karma. Its laughable, and its overdramatic.
Why do you feelthe need to disparage those that disagree with you by refering to them as "keyboard Heros"'
Why not just accept the fact that some peoples views differ from yours. Being a police officer does not make you a better person than anyone else
Other people here have saved lives without wearing a blue uniform

Stu you're a interesting poster. You ignore 17 pages of people taking personal jabs at me, one resulting in a ban, and post about my RESPONSES to those who ADDRESSED me first.
The question is why do those people feel the need to go after me personally for I never addressed anyone with my comments, they were general and made as such.
Why can't those people accept the fact I hold unpopular views that some might not agree with?
Why did they make it personal?
Funny Stu, you take issue with my keyboard comment, very odd, but not surprising, its shows bias.
My keyboard comment was directed at those who came at me personally. Why should I accept someone taking personal jabs at me for my views?
Why would you ask me to do such a thing?

Here's a point some folks miss........you CAN be BOTH.....a GOOD MAN.....AND......an *******!
Conversely, one can be BOTH the 'nicest guy I ever met' and, at their core, an evil bastard....as evidenced by most of the pedophiles and child molesters i've ever dealt with.
Some of the best men I ever knew in my life.......were overbearing, egotistical, crude, crass, insensitive, SOBs.......and at the end of the day, there when the **** hit the fan!
Conversely, some of the most likable folks i've ever know, were secretly snakes in the grass.

This thread sure has turned into a train wreck. Please folks.... the comments made here were in jest. I seriously doubt that any posters here would support or condone the behavior of those who were the subject of the OP. As it has been said many times by the Mod staff here, no one has the right not to be offended, and if it is a comment by a fellow poster that offends you, just ignore the comment. In reality, everyone here is on the same page regarding the subject of the thread, so most of the arguing is just about words that haven't actually hurt anyone. I hope the tone here lightens up, as I would not want to be anymore penalties given to you fine folks.
