Nah, go seek your pound of flesh elsewhere you fucking ghoul.
What is ghoulish about recognizing that a system that simultaneously takes YEARS to put literal traitors and millionaire thieves behind bars, but will throw a poor petty theif in jail same day, is actually NOT a "just" system?
Your inability to observe reality is the truly ghoulish thing here. Fucking pathetic defense of a failed system you have, "fucking ghoul". Sure proved me wrong.
Calm down. The bail system needs work and has been revamped in many states. People shouldn't be sitting in jail unless they are a current danger or after they have been sentenced.
The length of time involved in court cases is due to the limited number of judges, lawyers, court clerks, etc. All of these are skilled workers who work more than 50 hours per week.
Are you going to law school to help move these cases along? Paralegal school? Advocating for more court funding? Advocating for UBI?
I advocate for a great many things. It is not my personal responsibility to fix every problem I rightfully complain about. Are you seriously so pathetic that you're going to use the logic of climate change deniers?
"If you're so worried about it, why don't you stop driving your car?" Yea sorry, asshole, dismissing my valid complaints doesn't magically fix the system.
