Discussion: Ohio Couple That Captured Mentally Disabled Woman For Slave Labor Face Sentencing

Discussion for article #225495

Who is this a picture of?

I’m going to boldly put my foot down and say that enslaving disabled people is not right.
Go ahead- let the flaming begin.

Since it looks like a mugshot, against a cinder block wall, I assume it’s the sick Jessica Hunt. I doubt it would be the victim, not named in the article.

Per the Daily Mail, its Jessica Hunt.
It would be nice if TPM considered using captions with photos. Too much work, I guess.

How refreshing to find blue collar native slavers as opposed to the usual slave-holding offender, foreign doctors and restaurant owners.

More proof of the greatness of the human race.

Good point, it’s like a photographic negative of those old Unicef cards with kids from many nations holding hands and singing. This just shows how under the skin, we all, the whole world round, have the capacity to be fucking horrible monsters.

“Enslaving the mentally handicapped”…I think that is on the opposite side of the Human Behavior Meter from “Throwing yourself on a grenade to save a bus full of orphans.”

Does anyone else remember the Republican office holders out west who were accused of doing basically the same thing with illegal aliens 8 or 10 years ago? Room and board with no leaving the house, ever? I wonder whatever happened to them.

No time for captions… but plenty of time to capture every utterance of Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, etc.

Priorities.
