quite a lesson in herd mentality

I read that, on account of this riot, Ecuador is planning to let up to 2000 more vulnerable inmates (women, elderly, disable) go free. Apparently, the system down there is very overcrowded, which added to the capacity for violence.

Horrifying. In prehistory, in what is now Germany, a nomadic raiding group attacked a small village and slaughtered everyone. Archeologists found a mass grave with about 100 skeletons of men, women, and children who clearly had been beaten or stabbed to death, apparently so the raiders could seize the village and its resources intact.
On a somewhat better note, I mentioned in a comment in these pages so time ago that the famous Birdman of Alcatraz, Robert Stroud, risked his life during the horrible 1946 Battle of Alcatraz to let the LEOs and soldiers firing back at the rioters that Stroud and some other nonparticipants were sheltering in the dark isolation cells behind their solid steel doors.

Sounds like a New Mexico prison riot. You can watch a documentary about it here on UA-cam. It's really disturbing.

There were videos on the net of inmates playing soccer with the heads of the prisoners.

I need to make a list of phrases like that that I overuse.
I didn't count, but I'm pretty sure anyone who plays this particular drinking game isn't going to make it to work this morning.

@@californiaconvictions225 Sparking a joint or brewing some tea after you say, "Thank you for listening," is a nice pastime.
