What makes it so funny is there golf pencils in jail. Think about a golf pencil in your hand now think about stabbing someone with it. Very low chance of death from that wound

I don’t choose to be stabbed with one inch of a sharpened pencil. Have it hit a neck artery. Doesn’t have to go deep. Have it hit an eye.

Bull$&&t!!! A less than 1 inch sharp object can kill if used in the correct location. Look how close our spines are to top of skin, major arteries, eyes. Don’t be a moron a “golf pencil” can be very deadly!!

99% of the effort in any incarceration is to keep the inmates from finding ways to hurt each other, the personnel and the property. Heaven forbid they spend time assessing or learning. But of course the reason they are there in the first place is usually assessing and learning was not part of their lives before jail either.

Hope the officer is ok. Cameron was always the mellow brother. His brother is Nick Johnson. He just got sent off to prison for murder and the shooting attempt of the DA investigator. Nick was the violent sociopathic brother. Not Cameron. Sad to see.

You: “Nick was the violent sociopathic brother. Not Cameron.”

Article: “…he(Cameron) attempted to stab the deputy in the neck/facial area with a sharpened pencil…”

I’m guessing you don’t know what you’re talking about.
