What kind of world are we living in when somebody can
molest a little girl in public
and face up to 6 months in jail, but somebody else
pulls the old pretend to find a rat in the food trick
and could be looking at 3 and a half years?
Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with the rat lady rotting in the slammer for a few years. Hell, she could have ruined these people’s lives. But if she’s getting 3 years, shouldn’t our airline Romeo get 5?
If any of you are thinking about explaining different state laws and guidelines for sentencing, save your breath, because I couldn’t give less of a fuck about that stuff even if I were to try really, really hard. What I care about is common sense in the world’s justice systems and where it’s gone. We’re living in a world where
5 judges think it’s perfectly fine to strip search a 13-year-old girl because she might have some pain pills
and where
criminals are frequently given a serve one, get one free deal on their prison time
and it makes me sick. A lot of things need to change, and they need to change yesterday. Unfortunately these changes are up to our governments and our legal systems to make, so you won’t catch me holding my breath.
