For many years, even decades, the two biggest lobbying groups in politics were:
1. The National Rifle Association;
2. The Trial Lawyers Association.
Guess why we have so many tort laws and civil liability issues. Nearly vexatious at this point, in my opinion. Unlike, sayyyy, Mexico. In Mexico, if you trip on a crack in an uneven sidewalk, it is not the municipality or the contractor's fault. It's YOUR fault for not paying attention and looking where you are walking. Something to be said for that.
As for his chances in prison, I have some insight. I worked 7 years in the hub of the world's largest jail system - 4x larger than the largest prison in America (Attica). One of two things will happen. Either he will endure the brutality as long as he can before being shanked or offing himself, or he will adapt. Human beings are amazingly adept. He may adapt by becoming bulked up and brutal himself, victimizing others so he isn't victimized. Or he might become the resident jailhouse lawyer, or hustler/gopher, or he may put on a wig and be the cell block biatch. Or the go-to Pruno maker. One or the other will happen - and each has many different avenues.
