All the authoritarian nutballs who favor laws against prostitution and the crackdown on Craigslist... are partially culpable in this harmless lady's death. I knew someone would have to die before Arizona decided to give water and shade to their outdoor inmates. The prostitute never hurt anyone, and yet Sheriff Arpaio and Arizona have killed and tortured many harmless citizens, due to their harsh view of the role of law enforcement.
