have you ever gone a few days without food? i went about two days without eating anything once while i was living with my brother in utah, and i have to say, it was probably the worst two days of my life. i was so fucking hungry by the time i actually got some pizza that i wanted to die. i almost cried the second day.

now, i'm not some uber-tough survivorman type that can just beast through any hardship, but i'm not exactly a wimp either. five days without food or water sounds like a living hell to me. 10 days without food or water and 75% chance that your ass is dead (maybe not but who the fuck actually wants to test that and prove me wrong?) even if you aren't dead, that shit would be so fucking terrible i can't even imagine how bad that would be or what i would be doing at the end of it.

I like how everyone is assuming this kid will get millions of dollars. People spend decades in jail in the US for false reasons. People get raped in jail, people get beaten in jail, etc, etc. Millions of dollars are not awarded. This kid will be lucky to get a few thousand dollars. I doubt he will even get a lawyer willing to take this case.

You can go for weeks without food - thats not really an issue.

lack of water, on the other hand, even in ideal circumstances (these were not) will almost certainly kill you within a week. The fact that he was experiencing kidney failure says to me that the guy was already in big trouble.

Anyway, we are just throwing numbers around now. The point is that this guy was severely mistreated, and whatever his past crimes were doesn't really matter. The fact that he was on drugs says that he already needed help.

Whaddya mean "forgot" to let him out, what the hell is that supposed to mean? Sickening to say the least.

Come on, people are not stupid. Having water enables you to fast for MONTHS. We were talking about no food no water specifically, and in most cases even a sick person would last a full week before going into coma. The effects of not eating/drinking proposed in this thread (going insane, eating rat's feces thinking it's candy) is pure idiocy, it is nothing like that. That's all we argue about. Who cares how long he could actually last before dieing?

By the way, if some of you have ever done drugs, esp synthetic shit like meth or ecstasy, you should know how much of a stress it puts on your body. This moron basically severely injured himself in the most moronic manner.

Most probably one guy thought another guy would do it. The other guy thought the first guy would do it. Since they both assumed it had been done, it had been done. It's not a complicated concept. It's something that should be worked in to routine to be avoided. The same thing happened with the guy who shot himself inbetween questioning by the police with a pistol he had on him the entire time. The police officers all assumed he had already been frisked by someone else, at pretty much all points in time up to him shooting himself. Both situations (this one and the guy with the gun) are of course entirely unacceptable but unless you put in to the work routine ways to avoid it, it will happen from time to time.

Make sure you research everything you're about to post in the future, you don't seem to be one of the people that have it easy. People can perfectly survive without water for 7-10 days on average, that's of course if they are not dehydrating themselves by drinking own urine and eating meth off the floor. If you somehow think that 5 days with no food equals clinical insanity - please don't. I'd also like to find out when he took that meth specifically, it probably happened day 1 or 2 which makes all your arguments even sillier.

If you don't think that people can go without food and water for 7 days - educate yourself. There's really not much to add here. Your ability to decide whether I'm an idiot or not is severely lacking since you're beyond ignorant.

I wish they'd bring back things like Electric Chair, Gas Chaimber, Guillotine etc in the U.S. I'd say this kid didn't get enough punishment. He really deserves the death sentence.

Imagine. You are a guard at that jail. You find a FUCKING CORPSE in your cell, that appears to have died of dehydration. What do you do? Do you 'fess up? "Hey, guys, sorry, but we let this guy die." Hell no. You dispose of the body, and fuss with the records so that it looks like he just "disappeared".

I am sorry, but no the average adult cannot survive without water for seven days. Life expectancy for the average adult without drinking water lies between 3 and 5 days depending on various circumstances (temperature, humidity, metabolism etc).

In deserts you will (probably) not even make one day, people often died from dehydration within a few hours in deserts. And yes without water you start to suffer from symptoms which are also linked to clinical insanity for example hallucinations (among others).

And no you do not dehydrate via drinking your own urin, the opposite is the case (in the first days without water, before you get "dry").
