wow there’s consequences for your actions. who knew?
and mom & dad’s money wasn’t able to let them off the hook. the system works! at least in this case.
Don’t get me wrong here. I’m enjoying the hell out of the schadenfreude of watching some rich entitled twerps reaching the “find out” stage.
But the other part of me sees this and just thinks, can we maybe work on fixing our criminal justice system so that it doesn’t take a half million dollars of bail and constant harassment by police to continue living one’s life BEFORE A CONVICTION happens? Sure, in this case, it sounds pretty cut-and-dried and seriously fuck this dude.
But there are so many people languishing in lockup because they lack the resources for bail in a justice system that presumes guilt for anyone arrested while technically claiming to presume innocence. Waiting in lockup for a year and a half while the courts creep along is grotesque and horrifying.
Again, laughing at these rich assholes, but still feeling like maybe our entire bail system is kinda fucked up.
maybe our entire bail system is kinda fucked up.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone would argue with that - it’s a mess.
Like you said, though, this isn’t really the best case study in that.
Oh good, can’t have people wearing armour without a licence. They might walk around safely or something.
Your takeaway is that this guy was arrested for wearing armour? Interesting.
If you read the article, it is one of the charges, yes. Implication being that it is a crime.
And it’s the one you are concentrating on.
Why are you so interested in distracting?
Just straight out unable to admit that a child of wealth is able to do wrong, otherwise you won’t be able to claim afluenza when the time comes?
I love you focus on that, and not that he was dealing and distributing one time use, 3D printed firearms.
This is like JBP whining about losing his free speech, when the reality is that he just doesn’t want any of the responsibilities that come with being an accredited psychologist.
