So when you ask the kind of lib or anarchist or whatever to get all twisted about brock turner (who is just a metonym for the broader phenomenon, the Unsympathetic Bro Criminal to have gotten off too lightly) why they are getting heated about an insufficiently punitive court ruling when they are self proclaimed bleeding heart prison abolitionists vel sim, they will tell you, Oh you see really i am angry at the disparity, how this guy enjoys these perks when so many less privileged convicts/defendants suffer so out of proportion to their supposed crimes. Im not a vengeance addicted sadist im just an angry egalitarian
But if thats really yr objection to the slaponthewrist, the inequality of treatment on display (which is indeed often real and atrocious), well there are basically two ways to remedy the inequality right? You can loosen the punishments on the disadvantaged to meet brock, or you can tighten those on brock (or more accurately, given that pesky double jeopardy clause, future brock-likes). Or ig you can do both in tandem so they meet at some happy medium. And if yr really the "abolitionist" you claim to be it should be the first one right? Brocks sentence is better bc it more closely approximates yr espoused goal of zero?
Now ofc in reality the second option is illusory. There is no policy lever or electoral strategy or series of intimidation campaigns finely tuned only to bring the hammer on "nepo yt dudebros" or what the fuck ever, the actual ill effects of any strategy pursued with this mindset will fall as ever most harshly on the poor and the brown and the sexually/genderly deviant and the mentally unwell. And if there were ways to only impose mandatory minimums or increased judicial punitiveness or whatever on stanford students or frat boys or cishetwhitemales that would anyway be disturbing and an abandonment of equality before the law even in name. But even setting all these impossibilities aside, its kinda fucking telling that THIS is the (in reality non existent) horn you are trying (abd failing) to take in the dilemma? That this is in fact basically the ONLY kind of collective response ever given by these woke recolourings of the nancy grace fandom? Bc i want to believe you when you tell me oh no im not crying out in bloodlust, im not some carceral sadist, in fact im really being the opposite of that if you think about it from an enlightened radical pov
But yr words say one thing and yr deeds say another

So after all the nonsense he did at the airport all he could be charged with was “MISBEHAVING AT THE GRANTLEY ADAMS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT”! He pleaded guilty said he has a “disorder” was fined $250.00 which he paid and left. You have to love this country!! Don’t you love it? Don’t you love our judicial system? As for the police and that charge smh smh smh smh smh smh SMMFH !!!!! I guess they probably had no idea what to charge him for. They might have as well not have charged him!!!!!! I have always heard the old people say the court system is not for poor black people. It’s true. The system was structured to suppress and oppress so stay our of it cause you best believe if that was you or I we would have not been charged for just “misbehaving”. However I realise bout here once you are the right shade or you come from foreign you can get away with about anything. Enjoy your day in the Conkie Republic of Bimbabwe cause this just pissed me right off!! #thechasefiles #vexedtoall #pureshit #whitepriviledge #trumpedupcharge #sickuhbouthere #barbados #rossuniversity #moneymatters #cantoffendpotentialstudents #slaponthewrist #WadhahAhmedAlmadhaji https://www.instagram.com/p/CTFS1sfATBQA9lncXNikxlB4yMkJVOIVoE64lU0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lost in time The Serious Fraud office opened their investigations into the Capita Oak Pension and Henley Retirement Benefits Schemes, as well as Westminster and James Hadley’s Trafalgar Multi-Asset Fund, back in May 2017. It is, however, anyone´s guess when this case might be pushed through the high court.

@McDonalds put back in their (happy meal) box!
On the back of declining U.S. same-store sales, comes more bad news from the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU). The self-regulatory unit of the Council of Better Business Bureaus recommended that McDonald's "take care to assure future advertising directed to children that commercials focus on the advertised food product and not on the premium." This after they investigated a particular TV ad. This makes a whole lot of sense.......when the food is unhealthy, distract the kids with a nice little toy!!!!

More bans but still no prosecutions – pension scammers lost in time Another day, another voluntary ban taken by pension scammers, this time by those involved in the Henley Retirement Benefits and Capita Oak Pension Schemes. It seems there is still no justice for the victims of these financial crimes and there are no consequences for the directors of Transeuro Worldwide Holdings nor Imperial Trustee Services. These scammers take a voluntary slap on the wrist and are still free to move on to their next venture. Kate Smith, head of pensions at Aegon, said: Read more here... https://pension-life.com/more-bans-but-still-no-prosecutions-pension-scammers-lost-in-time/ #scammers #slaponthewrist #trustee #noprosecutions #lostintime #lost #stillfree #pensionscam #costascam #pensionscammers #pensionfund #henleypensionscam #pensionlife #henleypensionscam #transeuro #imperialtrustee #financialcrime #financialnews #aegon #headofpensions #mypension #capitaoak #pensioscheme #dbpension https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt24lyChaU4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i9rewu6l3lsd
