I love this place. Post anything about this on reddit and it’s likely to be removed if it gets too positive or the bots downvote it.

Why is it terrorism when rich people are killed?
MehBlah@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Cause they only care when rich scum are terrorized.
ynthrepic@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Terrorism is supposed to be the dogmatic or ideologically motivated killing of civilians, often by those who are willing to die in the process. It’s terror inducing because it could seemingly happen anywhere at any time to any one, and it’s a lot easier to cause harm to others when you’re suicidal and not hoping to get away with it.
Of course, that’s not how it’s routinely used, or perhaps was ever really used by anyone except academics.

The NY charge calls for a specific action taken against a government entity.
Unless UHC is part of the government, but corporations as government is Musolini style fascism, and the US isn’t a fascist country, right?

All they’re doing is making him look like a badass. They need enough cops to suppress Superman if he turned bad.

I never liked those shoes. They are like a bad knock off of toms. Somehow they even make shittker crocs for jails as well… I remember walking into a Walmart and a guy being like “yo when did you serve” as I was buying a pair of entnies (didn’t know they sold them there, but they were like $25) to finish my 19 mile walk home. Wasn’t sure how he knew at first, then realized he remembered those shitty shoes as well.
(Things not to do in life, get pulled out of bed in the middle of the night by police wearing no shoes and forced to walk across a stone driveway.)
Innocent until proven guilty time and time again proves to be not how our system works. Alleged charges were dismissed and expunged. The impact on my life, not able to be taken back.
31337@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Yeah, the criminal justice system in the U.S. causes immeasurable harm. From a probation system designed to keep you in the system, to cash-for-kids-like schemes that I’m convinced are more common than has been prosecuted, to coercive delay tactics. All of which I have personal experience with. I’ve currently been out on bail for 2 years, and someone else in my county has been in jail without trial for 5 years because he can’t afford bail. Not to mention the horrible conditions in many jails and prisons, slave labor, nearly complete lack of rehabilitation, and the system milking the incarcerated’s families for money. I can’t think of any other word to describe it than evil.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
I worked government contracts in IT for the last 10 years mostly. After the alleged reports I failed 3 background checks coming back saying conviction when the case was retired and moved to be dismissed. My entire career was shot for a 9 month contract I got where they over road the background check with a lawyers response showing it was a false response on the conviction and due to costs I have literally nothing left. After lawyers and shit… 0 savings, 0 401k, contract over now, took a job for a distributor for a well known brand to pay bills… No background check. Even Kroger’s background check failed me when the case has already been dismissed. It destroyed my life, and I did nothing.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
How much is the guy’s bail? If you throw money at it, I will too. It’s your duty to your fellow man for equity. It’s probably more than we can afford but I’m just thinking. Maybe we can seed a fund.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
I went to sentencing for a misdemeanor and all I took in my pockets were like 10 quarters for the phone because I knew I was only in a couple days or week max but they let you out when they feel like it. My girlfriend was going to come get me when I got out. This wasn’t totally before cell phones but I didn’t have one at the time.
They took my quarters when I got to jail.
Break for Pro-Tip: if you know you’re going to jail, even just for the night or until you make bail and not gen pop, don’t take any money if you can avoid it. They call it the “jail fee” and steal all your paper money (or quarters in my case). I once hid my cash in my sock when I knew I was going to drunk tank and the guy was going through my wallet. He asked me where was my money. I told him I threw it out the window of the police car. Back to the story.
I couldn’t believe they took my fucking phone quarters. They let me out in the middle of the night in December. There were two COs getting off work and I tried to beg a couple quarters to use the phone. They just laughed at me. I didn’t bring a jacket or anything, it was warmish when I went to court. By now it’s about 40 degrees. Lucky I guess, back then it got a lot colder a lot more often.
So I start walking. It’s 10 miles. Try to hitchhike for a while then give up. It starts raining. This is the point where I considered laying down in the ditch to die. I realized it would take too long to die and kept on. Nobody walking on the road. This is a state road that runs beside the highway and doesn’t have much on it. I went into a gas station to try to use their phone and they told me to fuck off. I went into a McDonald’s and they let me get a free water. I ended up walking to my girlfriend’s apartment which was about 16 blocks closer than my place. I walked in, climbed into bed and she woke up saying what the fuck why didn’t you call me?
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 15 hours ago
Man, what assholes.
I was at a “know your rights” training thing for protesters and activists, and one of the things that they covered is that a super important and low risk thing way to support a large protest is to have people sort of “on guard” nearby the police station, ready to receive and support someone who was arrested, because the police like to release people at stupid times of night (especially if they’re salty that they don’t have enough evidence to charge you for a crime). In most cases though, (such as yours), there’s no-one to provide this support, and then you’re fucked.
I hadn’t realised how prevalent this spitefulness was until this part of the training , where multiple people shared experiences of this sort. I was already on team ACAB as it was.
I’m glad you made it home safe.

LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Comically enough I took a 3 month contract with a company a couple years back. They run private prisons around the U.S. I left and didn’t extend or take a position for what some would say are “woke” ideals. But one of the reasons was that if a doctor has their medical license suspended for malpractice, I found out they are ALLOWED to practice medicine in private prisons. So some of the worst doctors who do nefarious shit would get suspended for it, and they would take a job for the prison systems to make money and not be investigated by proper review boards until they could get their standing back. I know this because I would have to verify errors in their systems pertaining to drug prescription purchases that would be illegal to send to any other doctor in the U.S., but would be allowed there.

So when Netflix made a film adaptation of 13 Reasons Why they called in specialists to try and make it tasteful. What happened was they were faxed a list of shit NOT TO DO, only some dumbass in charge of production mistook it for a list of “THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD DO! DO IT! IT’LL BE FUNNY!”, leading to outrage from said professionals who then pondered why they were consulted at all and a spike of suicides that coincided with release of the thing. Ya know cause glorifying suicide to a bunch of suicidal people is probably not going to end will.
Anyway, when that guy got fired from Netflix, I’m sure he got hired for the Dark Cabal that writes the talking points for the mass media.
Because they definitely sent him a list of “Shit not to do, because if you did it it would just make Luigi into even more of a Modern Day Robin Hood” and he proceeded to mistake it for a “Definitely do this, because it’ll totally get people to mourn Brian Thomspon.” list

Because their jobs financing is mostly perception based.
Crime can be at an all time low, but all it takes is a politician to rile up the population about murderers and law enforcement and incarceration will end up getting more money.
Be seen as being ineffective, soft or incompetent, especially by those holding the purse strings, and people lose jobs to those who will toe the line.
