Bowser is an interesting case. He was clearly not an accidental victim of circumstance but his reparations are so far beyond what he did that it’s a good example of how corporations have the ability to crucify people way beyond what they should have the ability to do.
- nhinck2 3y agoIt very much seems like it should fall foul of cruel and unusual punishment protections. But I guess that the problem with wording it that way is that maybe bankrupting an individual for life isn't considered cruel and unusual anymore.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoIt is really sad. I’m sure the world isn’t coming out to support Gary Bowser because there are many others who are actual victimless criminals they make better examples of system injustice. But what happened to him sets a really nasty precedent. I hope that the system eventually comes back and makes a more sane determination
- Asraelite 3y agoI hadn't heard of Gary Bowser before now so I initially thought this was referring to Doug Bowser, the current CEO of Nintendo America. These two are the only people with the surname Bowser I have ever come across, and they're both related to Nintendo in some way. It's a hilarious coincidence.
