Let me guess-one of them has white skin and the other one doesn’t.

I smell something else in that second newsicle. A judge that housed a man for 15 years in an extremely expensive state run housing program.

Which client are you using? In Pachli, and possibly others, click to the left of the image.

@w_b @nogodsnomasters Tusky in android... but looking into that one. Thanks for the tip.

Willie was sentenced to life without parole. A death sentence.

I'm sure there are thousands of other examples. Unfortunately.

Disproportionate criminal sentencing is a hallmark of plutocracy & oligarchy.

@madness832 @nogodsnomasters In a country that allows forced labour for prisoners, and for profit prisons. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or if this is going to turn into "but the slaves were well cared for!"

[netzblockierer@tech.lgbt]

@nogodsnomasters the former is too much leniency.

The latter one is cruel and unusual punishment.

[space_burger_steve@mstdn.ca]

@doctormo @stuartb @SeanPLynch @nogodsnomasters Did you know that the USA allows forced, unpaid labour for prisoners, and that for profit prisons make money selling prison labour like to-order slavery? I didn't know for a long time.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @stuartb @SeanPLynch @nogodsnomasters I can't read the snopes article, because snopes doesn't know the difference between a tracking blocker and an ad blocker.

I can read this article from Cornell though, and it does more to verify than invalidate this story.

In the Tales From the Crypt version of this, the homeless guy cuts the other guy's face off and gets early release.

This is what capitalism will always do, and why we must remove the capitalists from power and never allow them power again.

@nogodsnomasters I have heard stories of elderly people in the US robbing banks for small sums just to go to prison for the provided healthcare, though that says more about the healthcare system.

@SeanPLynch @stuartb @nogodsnomasters I'd prefer that the other guy gets his 3.5 seconds sentence.

@toriver @nogodsnomasters hi

[budududuroiu@hachyderm.io]

@nogodsnomasters white collar vs violent crime. He robbed a bank at, what seemed to the teller as, gunpoint. That he only took $100 is inconsequential.

[budududuroiu@hachyderm.io]

@grayladywriter one of them robbed a bank at "gunpoint" (he mimicked having a weapon)
