On June 23, 2012, Darren Rainey, a mentally ill black man serving a two-year prison sentence for drug possession, was killed by four prison guards at Dade Correctional Institution in Florida.

The Florida guards kept Darren Rainey locked in a shower for two hours with the water turned up to a scalding 160 degrees or higher — even though Florida state law mandates 120 degrees as the highest available temperature allowed.

According to the assigned medical examiner, when Mr. Rainey was removed from the shower, his skin was falling off of his body. Darren Rainey entered the shower around 7:30 p.m. and was pronounced dead around 10:00 p.m.

One prisoner said he heard Rainey screaming, begging to be let out. Another stated that he helped clean up chunks of Rainey's skin from the shower the following morning.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle's office has revealed that, after a five-year legal dispute, no charges will be filed against the four prison guards who allegedly tortured and killed Darren Rainey. In addition, the four accused guards will be allowed to keep their jobs.

Prosecutors concluded that Rainey's death was an "accident,” stating that he died from a combination of factors, including health complications of his mental disorder, heart disease that had gone undiagnosed, and what they described as "confinement in a shower."

According to prosecutors, the medical examiner's report played a key role in their decision not to press charges against the four prison guards. The Miami-Dade prosecutor's office maintained that the DCI medical examiner report reveals no burns on Darren Rainey after discovering him in the shower, and that any deformed skin was a result of skin "slippage" from being in the shower for too long.

When that same medical examiner's report was reviewed by investigators at HuffingtonPost, however, it was discovered that Britney Wilson, a licensed practical nurse at DCI, examined Rainey’s body approximately 10 minutes after he was found, and noted “1st degree burns to 90% of his body.” An additional medical examination conducted by Lt. Alexander Lopez, a firefighter and paramedic with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, reported that Darren Rainey was found “with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on approximately 30 percent of his body."

Some people claim that the white european northic anglo-saxon population of USA have a sort of biological DNA, and gene that makes them barbarian and behave in a barbarian way naturally. I don't know if that's true, but what I've noticed with my own eyes is that although there are many nice blond americans, I've noticed that many blond americans tend to be mysanthropists. And even Thom Hartmann some months ago, said that when black and latinos people go out to the streets, they have to be like Rambos, Bruce Lee fighters as a sort of preventive way to defend themselves from the white northic population of USA.

That's why black americans who are poor oppressed but at the same time are smart, rational and have common sense, have to behave in an agressive violent way all the time, listen to agressive protest violent music as a way to be feared. Machiavelli said that it is better to be feared than to be loved. Because living in a country where the anglo-saxon blond crazy barbarians are a majority is not a piece of cake

It doesn't take a DNA / biological basis to explain this state of society -- it's more about *social psychology* and majority-minority-type reasoning: People, perceived mainly on *demographic* categorizations, will be more likely to *behave that way* because that's our society's 'social norms', without more-detailed information about any given individual.

We'd *prefer* to be treated as unique individuals, but in situations where *impersonality* overrides, we reach for whatever 'information' we can get -- generalizations and stereotypes based on generic categories of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, geography, etc.

We may even self-consciously *know* that this kind of information (based on demographics) is at best *tentative* when applied to any individual, but within this normative mindset is a terrain of *oppression* (if social-minority) and *opportunism* (if social-majoritarian) -- both extents, upper and lower, get 'marginalized' since demographic-based privileges work through social networks (who-do-you-know) (who are like yourself demographically / tribally) while those marginalized-*down* have to be ready to be combative on an *individual* basis to make their mark in larger society, as for ambition and general demographic acceptance.


Generalizations-Characterizations

It's not that those of the privileged and oppressed populations are constantly 'doing-the-math' to figure out what they can 'get away with', but rather that these respective internal societies *operate* differently due to the availability of wealth and opportunities (for the privileged), and lack thereof (for the oppressed).

Those marginalized 'upwards' may also be prone to stereotyping, but it's of the 'cautionary' type, for everyone else, due to their privilege and relative inviolability. The privileged can be far more *care-free* and *careless* compared to those who have lower social status and are much-more-likely to be scrutinzed by the power structure for any perceived social transgression. (I call this 'social capital' and/or 'political capital'.)
