more absurdity at that ruling or legal speak:
" If fear of potential future violence were the appropriate standard, as appellants urge us to hold, the absurd result would be that every inmate in any prison across the country could justify their possession of a weapon simply by articulating a fear of some future, possible, and generalized threat. Indeed, we have previously rejected precisely such a formulation, holding that “f prisoners could decide for themselves when to seek protection from the guards and when to settle matters by violence, prisons would be next to impossible to regulate. The guards might as well throw the inmates together, withdraw to the perimeter, and let them kill one another․” Haynes, 143 F.3d at 1091."
lol at asking guards for protection at any prison. outside maybe level one private prisons the guards are sometimes the viggest problem or instigators of violence.
