Right, so apparently it agitated a bunch of people, so let's try this again. And first a brief recap the El Paso mass shooter is going to prison for a life. And then a state house representative Matt Schaefer is making fun of this saying, Are you sure you want to put air conditioning in prisons? And this is where I need to stop.

So I lost you all last time. So before you go to the comment section, my point is that this guy right here, the El Paso mass shooter, is going to federal prison where they do they do have air conditioning. He gets to have air conditioning. My point is that state-level prisons, on the other hand, you know, those prisons that contain non- violent criminals a lot

of the time, they are dramatically underfunded, do not have air conditioners, and we are literally roasting people to death. The El Paso mass murderer gets to have air conditioning, but no, not you, because you know, you're not a mass murderer. You're probably just some guy driving your car down the road. You accidentally get into a car accident, you accidentally, oh

my god, wind up killing someone by mistake. You didn't mean to do it, but you know, you get hit with vehicle manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter, you go to prison for a little bit to a place where temperatures easily reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, no air conditioning. People are already dying from that right now. Is that fair? Look, and that was the point I was trying to

make in my previous video. We have an elected official in the state house grifting on the concept of putting air conditioners in our state prisons where people are dying, and he uses the El Paso shooter as an example of that, even though that El Paso shooter gets to have special treatment where they're a federal prison where they do have air conditioning. So I ask you, rather than grifting on me in

the comment section, what do you think is worse? The fact that we have uh a mass shooter who gets to have air conditioning, or the fact that there are people dying in our state prisons, like people who have committed non-violent crimes are being cooked to death. What do you think is worse?
