j/k, please don't go to jailNah jail sucks and I never want to go back. Fuck jail
Agreed. Still, you shared the same experience as the greats (Lenin, Stalin, & the left newspaper guy)
I feel like one out of every 10 of us hexbears has probably done a time or two in county jail. ๐
I've been in jail a few times for protests. Never prison. Probably lucky that I'm 200% white, and this was war on terror times, before the West ratcheted up the repression.
Im lucky in that regard as well. Or at least that I'm white adjacent (mom is native american, dad's white dude)
I Also grew up in a comfortable lower middle class household and area.
Either way both certainly have saved my ass in this suburban white shit hole. Seen black dudes get railroaded in this court system unfortunately
Ya one of my white as fuck friends from school got arrested for possession of hundreds of pills. Another had multiple arrests for not small amounts of coke or weed. Neither fucking went to trial. Granted they didn't deserve prison (although they were both massive knobs), but it still shocks me to compare the stories of way more innocent non white people.
Yeah that's how it goes unfortunately. They don't ever come out and say it, but the court systems are biased against non-whites and especially black people.
