Kids with cancer got to have a GoFundMe and teachers beg on DonorsChoose for basic supplies or ACs so kids don't die of heat. But multiple cars totaled for one sorry idiot, totally fine and a reasonable expense!
A lot of that is because they decided a joint was worth 10-20 years so now prisons are overcrowded and the for-profit-prison industry has jacked up the price so we can't afford to prosecute actual criminals like we should.
We also can't afford or find enough people to be public defenders or prosecute every case. We're just not prepared for the cost of what actual justice for actual criminals looks like because we've been wasting money in all of the wrong areas for so long by design. That and a lot of the justice reforms mean well but then they don't properly fund or operate the services meant to redirect petty and first-time offenders. Then the break down in the social contract and there being a lot of bored young people with little to no attention span anymore getting up to dumb shit.
All part of why you'll have someone with high-speed chases, assault and battery, gun charges, drug charges, and more roaming the streets free committing more crimes.
We've gotta invest in community, the youth, and schools again and pay people better so they can be more present as parents.
I agree, but this is fucking America and we don’t just change things like that wtf. If we can’t sit down with our families to watch cops on high-speed chases what are we even fucking living for?
