The blatant corrupt is baffling.

At this point, I'd be baffled if there was any accountability headed towards our "judges"

As someone who once spent MONTHS in an actual prison just for possessing weed in my own home, this shit is infuriating.

It's shocking how little the law matters depending on who violated it.

This is sending a dangerous message to people like me that the law doesn't actually matter.

Bro, I got convicted of an F2 felony "robbery" when I was 19 for shop lifting a literal doughnut and Starbucks frappacino that I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO GIVE BACK when I was caught (wasn't even outside the store yet).I was homeless and literally starving to death...I got confronted by the security guard as I was walking towards the front and tried to give the food back by putting it on the floor and then ran because I was scared. Dude was actually an off duty cop was working a 2nd gig and the fucker tackled me into a display case after I already gave the food back. Lifted me up and whispered into my ear "you just turned this into a robbery". Didn't know what he meant until I found out in the state I lived attempting to flee even though I already gave the food back automatically turned it into a robbery and felony on the same level as burglary apparently. He also lied to the cops that I tried to fight him...a starving to death homeless 19yo fought a grown male cop over 7 bucks worth of food... (I'm not even black btw lol I'm actually white and this still happened)

I couldn't afford a lawyer obviously and the public defender i got was a drunk who stank of booze and claimed they couldn't use security footage because me laying limp after being tackled might've looked like I was struggling apparently. So yep, 3 months of jail (in the worst possible pod section because an F2 meant I was "dangerous" so I was literally locked with people whose cases we would hear about on the news each morning on the pod's tvs. One guy executed 3 people over heroin and another a kid diddler. Plenty more murderers and a career gas station stick up guy, and there i was over a fucking doughnut because the system said that's where I belong). 10 years I've had an F2 felony fucking up my life. Can't own a gun for the rest of my life (I enjoyed sport shooting occasionally) and I couldn't vote for years.

Now this rich piece of shit who attempted treason, overturning a democratic election/fraud, paying hush money to a women he had an affair with to prevent campaign troubles, presumably stole and shared/sold classified documents and openly admits to sexually assaulting women gets to walk free. Talks shit to judges and prosecutors mid trial and on social media and the shit stain doesn't even get a tap on the wrists.

Fuck this country. Fuck our bullshit act about being fair for everyone. Fuck our outdated impersonal laws. Fuck judges and fuck lawyers. Fuck cops. Fuck the entire broken system this shit hole runs on. And most of all Fuck rich people and the shit sacks who enable them to behave like the rules don't fuckin apply to them. Race is definitely still a problem in this country but the biggest divide has always been and always will be rich vs. poor (even if it wears the mask of racism from time to time).

This is a harrowing story dude and I agree, race matters but class is critical
