What race is that?
Honestly I just funnel my hair towards the rich since they are the ones who built and maintain the system.
drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Whites. Every day in the news and every other moment of history is whites being evil
MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A stark reminder of who the justice system works for. They are there to protect the rich elites.
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t think these are comparable.
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think that’s the point of the article.
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You both make good points so I up voted.

The bad one looks a fair bit older than 26. Weird hair, too.

It’s uh pretty normal hair?
We can attack the guys shit character, without having to insult how people look.

On Monday, 26-year-old Daniel Penny was acquitted after killing Jordan Neely, a desperate Black homeless man on the subway…
Tale as old as time.

“…on the grounds that he was trying to protect others.”
I think that’s a pretty fucking important line right there.
NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think the point is, the system pushed one man to his breaking point simply for being poor, black, and mentally ill; resulting in his eventual strangulation on a subway. Not saying the the situation didn’t require intervention but acting as if the whole thing was “unavoidable” or even “justified” is Pretty Fucking Important

Imagine if the defense pulls that line in court. My client gun down this man to save lives your honor!

When a fraudster who tried to overthrow democracy and rightfully convicted of 34 felonies, still gets reelected as president, it is evident that there is no justice anymore.

You reminded me of something I read from back around when that bloke got elected, regarding amongst other things, the decline in the rule of law mattering to society…
“The greatness of Rome, brilliant with repeated marks of prosperity, has gradually faded… the ancient glory of military prowess and valour has almost passed away… by the growth of wealth and luxury.
The Roman world is falling: yet we concern ourselves with trifles… We heap up riches that perish and bury our gold in the earth as if we were piling up treasures in a lifetime of prosperity.
Rome was great and could tolerate its own vices as long as they were held in check by some degree of virtue; but when our hands ceased to uphold the laws, when avarice and luxury sapped the nation’s strength, the state itself lost control and went its way.
The finest men were shut out from office by the lowest dregs of society, who, having won the favour of the mob by base means, ventured to grasp at the highest offices.
The greater her glory, the more incredible it seems that she has been brought so low.
Empires are mortal. Rome has perished. Though she was built upon such firm foundations, Rome has sunk by her own weight.”
- Ammianus Marcellinus, Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, Tacitus, Aurelius Ambrosius, Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis. 56 - 430 AD.

Rome fell before he was born

Yet the Roman Empire survived and thrived for about a millennium afterwards.

It’s been evident long before Trump had anything to do with politics
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agreed.
The wealthy and powerful sadly have always and will always have a preferential justice system.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yup. The irony wasn’t lost on us either.

I’ve seen people comparing th DOJ response to Luigi Mangioni and Kyle Shittenhouse. The fact that Rittenhouse is free should tell you everything you need to know.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well the difference is that while both actively premeditated their murders whoever committed the crimes Mangioni has been accused of is far more of a menace because they had a specific target in mind and even worse it was someone rich instead of just anyone protesting the police tendency to murder.

Rittenhouse attacked 3 people, that’s 3x the danger. But I guess I forgot to count up their net worths.
