The issue of the protocol when it comes to sex offences, while not talked about, are still relevant. The sex offender program in MN has historically rarely discharged patients, or " offenders." In recent years, discharge rate has picked up, but what to do with this tier of criminals is still being debated.

A long-running class-action lawsuit over the constitutionally of Minnesota's civil commitment program for sex offenders effectively ended Thursday when a federal judge dismissed the remaining claims but stood by his earlier statements that some revelations during the six-week trial shock his conscience.

U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank cited a 2017 decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned his 2015 declaration that the program was unconstitutional because few people had ever been released from the program since began in the mid-1990s. The U.S. Supreme Court last October declined to hear the case, letting the 8th Circuit's ruling stand and the program to continue operating as it was.

The Minnesota Sex Offender Program currently confines over 720 sex offenders who have finished their prison sentences to secure treatment facilities in Moose Lake and St. Peter. Lawyers who filed the class-action lawsuit in 2011 argued that commitment to the program was tantamount to a life sentence because hardly anyone up to that point had ever been released from it. However, the pace of provisional discharges has picked up since the trial ended.

"Some of the facts revealed during the lengthy Phase One trial in this matter are indeed shocking to this court's conscience," Frank wrote.

The judge said he considers the continued confinement of the only woman in the program "truly conscience-shocking." He called the continued confinement of elderly people with a low likelihood of reoffending "an egregious affront to liberty, particularly in light of the pervasive sense of hopelessness at the MSOP." He also expressed "great concern" with the confinement of individuals with cognitive disabilities. and those who committed sex offenses only while they were juveniles. He said they could be safely kept in less restrictive facilities.

The dismissed claims, which had been put on hold for a second phase of the case, dealt mostly with alleged violations of religious freedom, free speech and free association, and protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. The effect of the rulings is that anyone in the program who wishes to pursue such claims must do so as an individual instead of a class action. Frank noted that several such cases are pending, and more may now follow.

"The prospect of these many individual lawsuits going forward may be a compelling reason for all parties to sit down in an attempt to reach an agreement to settle any remaining issues in this case, with or without the assistance of the Court, instead of incurring the significant costs and delay associated with pursuing an appeal," he wrote. "To do so might well serve the best interests of the parties, the public interest, and the interests of justice."

The only remaining issue is whether the state or the plaintiffs should pay the costs of some court-appointed experts who studied the program. Frank said he would decide that later.

"The Court hopes that the public and all stakeholders will carefully consider the complex issues raised by this litigation, moving forward in a manner that balances the interests of public safety, fundamental justice, and basic human dignity. Justice requires no less," he concluded.

DEFINING THE CRISIS

"It's the devil's drug. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

The United States is in the grips of an opioid epidemic. It's killing 115 people per day and has accounted for the majority of the 64,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2016. By comparison, more than 58,000 U.S. military died in the Vietnam War. The federal government in October 2017 declared the opioid crisis a national public health emergency.

Minnesota has not escaped the opioid crisis. In 2016, 395 Minnesotans lost their lives to opioid overdoses, an 18 percent increase over the year before. Since 2000, opioid overdoses have skyrocketed by 1,000 percent and deaths have grown by 600 percent. Even Prince, who died of an overdose of the synthetic opioid fentanyl he unknowingly ingested in counterfeit Vicodin 2016, fell victim.

State leaders have been working since 2012 to address the crisis. In 2016, Minnesota health care providers wrote 3.5 million prescriptions for opioids. Minnesota officials are trying to stop that flood of dangerous painkillers, such as oxycodone, that are responsible for four out of five heroin addictions. They're also pushing for more funding for prevention and treatment efforts.

STORIES OF PAIN, GRIEF, RECOVERY

"It's like a tornado going through our community. It's tearing up everything."

How opioids ruined three Minnesotans' lives - one of them forever. Joe Nickelson, of Belle Plaine, and Tom Johnson, of St. Cloud, both started taking prescription opioids before they became addicted to heroin. After years of using drugs both are now in recovery. Dan Baker of Willmar got its first opioid for an old sports injury. What followed was years of drug abuse, including heroine. He died shortly after getting kicked out of treatment from a bad batch of drugs. His father, state Rep. Dave Baker has made addressing Minnesota's opioid crisis his top priority.

Monica Rudolph of Little Falls is one of the lucky ones. She escaped her heroin addiction with medical treatments that calm her cravings and allow her to lead a normal life. "It allowed me to function normally and be a human being again," Rudolph said. She's been clean almost a year.

Ryan Anderson of Coon Rapids wasn't so lucky. He battled drug addiction for years and tried a variety of different treatments. None of them stuck. Anderson died of a drug overdose in December. He's fiancé, Anne Emerson, hopes Ryan's story will inspire other addicts to seek help. She is now studying to become a substance abuse counselor.

THE PATH OUT OF DARKNESS

"We've got to do whatever we can to keep people alive so they can get sober and stay sober."

Opioid addictions typically ends one of two ways - recovery or death. There are promising medical treatments available, but too often they are hard for addicts to access. Minnesota is trying to change that.

For police and rescue workers, minutes count when an overdose happens. State leaders are also making the opioid antidote naloxone more widely available to first responders, addicts and their families. St. Paul police now carry the medication Narcan to help overdose victims.

Health officials call them "diseases of despair." Childhood trauma, depression and chronic pain are among such conditions officials say are a root cause of Minnesota's opioid crisis. Besides stopping the flood of prescription pills, state leaders need to address the social inequities and chronic diseases that can lead to addiction.

Looking for help? For help with drug addiction contact the national 24-hour hotline of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

A BATTLE WITH MANY FRONTS

"It's going to be death, one way or another. Either your soul or your body will die."

Minnesota detailed new guidelines for doctors who prescribe opioids. The rules seek to limit how long patients use the medications and rein in the number of people who use opioids for chronic conditions.

Cities and counties plot lawsuits against the makers of opioids. These lawsuits accuse drug manufacturers of misleading doctors and patients about the safety of the drugs. They also claim distributors failed to investigate large orders that make their way onto the black market.

Minnesota ramps up its pursuit of drug dealers in overdose cases. Prosecutors in Ramsey County and elsewhere are filing charges against the provider of drugs in fatal overdoses. Both police and attorneys say such cases are incredibly difficult.

The battle takes center stage at Minnesota Capitol this year. From Gov. Mark Dayton's proposed $12 million infusion into the battle to a penny-a-pill fee to create a revenue stream for treatment and prevention programs, the Minnesota Legislature will debate the best ways to further address the crisis in 2017.

What is T-Series?

T-Series is an Indian Music and Movie Production Company which primarily deals with Bollywood Music and Regional Indian Content. It holds the music rights for movies and individual albums. Songs are recorded by top Indian artists and musicians with added cinematic visuals to appeal to the audience. T-Series is basically a family-owned company dating back to the 1980’s, after the initial struggling phase, the company slowly started establishing itself and by the year 2000, it became a top provider of Indian Soundtracks. Currently, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar lead the company.

How is it different from Pewdiepie?

Unlike Pewdiepie which is run by Felix Kjellberg, who makes the video game and Let’s play commentaries and vlogs. T-Series is not run by an individual but is controlled by a production house. So, you should not expect any sort of video confrontation from T-Series. As it’s not like T-Series is a specific person who can actually duke it out with Kjellberg in the way that he and his fans suggest.

Felix in his video jokingly said, “The time has come for us to fight back” rallying on his fans to give a big fight to T-Series. This show of antipathy will not give anything for those expecting an internet storyline for the big fight like Paul Logan Vs. KSI. T-Series is not likely to make any response video to fight back against all the crushing comments which are being filled on T-Series new uploads by The Bro Army.

What Stats Say?

According to Social Blade, Pewdiepie will gain ∼10 million Subs by next year and in the same time period, it is estimated that T Series will make around ∼40 million Subscribers. That’s a crazy number as there are only 3 channels with more than 40+ million subscribers in total. So, you can imagine how fast the T-Series is growing.

Pewdiepie Vs T-Series | Subscriber count

T-Series is soon going to overtake the Pewdiepie in sub count. The growth is exponential and if this continues, it would touch the magic figure of 100 million subs by next year.
