    Ok this was an article about a prison being locked down. I asked what is the reason for this specific lockdown.

    Do you have backup that POC and slave labor is the reason for this specific lockdown? If you do, then show it. If not, then it’s just being 14 and edgy. Yes there are many issues with prisons, but yelling about different things as an answer for this specific lockdown is practically the very definition of being edgy. I’m trying to discuss one thing, and then someone comes yelling about a different thing. It’s like that interrupting bird meme.

      I get your point, but replying to the post and not to a specific person’s comment comes across as easy to misread.

      Even with that said, your definition of people talking about other issues outside the headline as edgy, doesn’t make sense.

        What are you talking about? I replied to the post because it belonged as a top comment. Because it’s a response to the article, not a person’s comment.

        And this isn’t simply because it’s a different topic, it’s an edgy, snide “answer” which is not an answer, that’s the point.

        Sounds like I want to know the cause of the lockdowns (you know, the news), not an edgy response.
