This reminds me of Minority Report. Arrested by the pre-crime unit.
Guilty without the crime actually being committed.
She was released and all charges dropped. This was a silly farce by the judge and prosecutors from the jump
She absolutely does not deserve that. Isn’t America the home of free speech? I guess not for the plebs!
Where is her free speech?
Free speech is for nazis, as far as I can tell
In the freezer, next to the peaches.
Ah, so basically next to the freeze peach; got it :)
The US justice system is f’ed up.
Long live freedom of speech!
We should erect a giant bronze statue of Luigi. Put it in a road right near UHC’s headquarters in Minnesota. Make them all drive past it each and every day on the way to work.
Sure, but the balls should be made with steel
It worked for that bullgirl in NYC, didn’t it? Let’s make it happen.
Prosecutors throw the book at people, sentences get reduced by dropping things, aclu better get on this and keep her from getting a stupid plea deal, and fight for free speech
On the other hand when women complain about threats from stalkers the police do nothing. You might as well delete the word justice from this criminal justice system.
It’s called wrong thinking from the book 1984
She’s a scapegoat. They arrested her to make a public example of her. Fuck those bastards, set her free.
Free slave for the state of Florida. I mean, they might let her go in a few months, but slam that 15 years jail stay bill right on her. You really effed up on the “land of the free” over there.
That “when they came for the …” had already happened. Years ago. Think on that. SL
She would have never been able to be charged before the patriot act. No weapons, no capacity to act on them, vague and unspecific. Its crazy how our freedoms have been eroded and how many folks seem to think thats just fine and dandy.
Indeed, when George unleashed that shit, Patriot Act, I told everyone we are one step closer to forming the SS or NKVD. Once again, we have Mango Mussolini with his merry band of racist thugs.
I have not liked it since the get go and fought it. Ugh I have these emails to a dem senator with have who came out of the military who is pretty good but to entrenched in the mindset. Still I never really felt it till this arrest. Chilling as fuck.
I’ll never understand how people are ok with limiting other people’s freedom based on “what if”.
When a woman calls the cops because her abusive SO threatened to kill her, they can’t do anything about it.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. She could have said DDD without “you people are next.”
Having said that, if we’re really judging people, and corporations are people, why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter? 70 people pass every day due to the lack of medical care in America. We have worse outcomes, shorter average life than other civilized countries.
When is a corporation sued for murder & sent to jail? I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the point. These systems aren’t making sense. They lack humanity. This is a bad, morally bankrupt system. Older Americans loves their Medicare: that’s socialism.
I’m so sick of this shit.
Two wrongs don’t make a right
There was only the one wrong here, she didn’t do anything wrong
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
They lack humanity.
If they lack humanity, why doesn’t it make a right?
Nonhumans deserve rights too
True.
Demons don’t.
Hurt people hurt people. I don’t know how to fix things. But if we go around destroying one another, what will be left?
I think the system is immoral. It should be abolished. An absurd takeaway from that would be “health insurance workers should be jailed.”
I find it challenging to say our humanity is through being inhuman to one another. Wouldn’t our humanity need to come from humane action?
I’m as upset as everyone else about these machinations. Everyone is a child of someone. If we don’t remember that, all is lost.
Front line worker: “I have no moral culpability, I’m just doing what my manager tells me to.”
Manager: “I have no moral culpability, I just do what the executives tell me to.”
Executives: “I have no moral culpability, I just maximize shareholder value.”
Shareholders: “All I did was buy an index fund in my 401k. Why you trying to pin this on me?”
186 people murdered by the health insurance companies every day, yet somehow not a single human being involved has any moral culpability.
This is why Luigi did nothing wrong. If there is one person who has moral culpability, it’s the CEO. They justify their obscene salaries by taking credit for a company’s performance. They can accept the moral culpability as well.
We are limited by our material conditions.
It sure would be nice if all hurt people could be safely rehabilitated and reeducated so they stop hurting people. That’s not feasible at the moment, though.
The next best thing is just making sure they can never hurt anyone ever again, until we can build that society where no one ever gets hurt ever again.
