And now it's going to get even worse. 🫤

wojtek.be•63 days ago

well... you see the problem right there - the homeless man was feeling remorseful -- I bet no CEO even knows what that is, not to mention actually feeling it…

jeffrethecat.bsky.social•63 days ago

That is horrible. I feel like we should all do a go fund me to cover the $100 guy’s new lawyer to appeal that sentence.

huffandpuff.bsky.social•63 days ago

If that’s not proof of a two tiered fu*ked up rule of law system, then nothing is.

catlady0218.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yep.

carlabenvenuto.bsky.social•63 days ago

That has to be fake. ???

lisaguerrero.bsky.social•63 days ago

This one’s worse:

That's tragic. Is there no way for President Biden to get these cases sent up to him for pardons, or do the parties have to request pardons through their lawyers (if they can even afford one?)
Thanks for bringing these to the public.

Ps. Batman Returns is still one of the best Batman movies.

Lisa, its just shameful.

Sad, but true. Our justice departments have been bought and paid for. Rich White Pedophile with hundreds of victims, takes 40 yrs. or more to put in jail. Buddies with a certain president, unalived while in prison, waiting for trail. Black man goes to jail after anyone accuses him of anything.

Yeah the homeless man didn’t steal enough. Should’ve stole more, he would’ve been able to pay his way out of trouble.

Great book on how we have gotten to this place is Punishment Without Trial by Carissa Byrne Hessick. Made my blood boil.

davidpegram.bsky.social•63 days ago

I will have to take a look.

And it's a serious problem. Justice unevenly applied is no justice at all.

Our justice system is corrupted and that means we are coming to the end of the American experiment. We a heading toward a revolution… good or bad but it is almost always bad for the Rich… example the French Revolution. Look it up

seriouslysteve.bsky.social•63 days ago

So, if you're gonna steal, go big so the consequences are smaller.
The sentence length has an inverse relationship to the enormity of the crime.
Got it!

The justice system was built within a context of systemic racism, from slavery to Jim Crow laws, and many of these structures and biases persist today.

grobielauren.bsky.social•63 days ago

The system was built this way after the whites invaded the US. (Said as an embarassed white person.)

America: the biggest snow job in the history of the world! All show & no tell. I migrated here—LEGALLY—because of all the "All created equal" guff. What a shock to see the inverted logic

Smh… “justice”.

“With liberty and justice for all”

Jfc gofundme’s should be setup for people like this.

remymonroe.bsky.social•63 days ago

Sounds like LES MISERABLES with a different ending

justjoe2024.bsky.social•63 days ago

This kills me. Commit big bank fraud...no jail time.😫
Just the price of doing business for them.

It should be noted that the architect of the fraud, Lee Farkas, received a 30 year prison sentence.
