Man the European/anti-US folks are really triggered this morning. Yeah criminal justice moves slow in the US and isn’t perfect at all. It’s a huge thing from local police and courts to the FBI and… even more courts. As for lawyers there’s a reason for the joke “what do you call a million lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.”
- kubb 2y agoCalling people triggered only works as an argument in the US. It’s meaningless over here.
- bavell 2y agoSounds like an observation, not an argument.

- MSFT_Edging 2y ago> isn’t perfect at all Isn't this purposefully minimizing what essentially amounts to a poor-people-torture machine. The purpose of the system is what the system does. In the US we have deeply ingrained perverse financial incentives in criminal justice with wildly variable sentencing that depends on the mood of the judge that day. Stray any amount from the fine line of legal, and if you're unlucky you could be plunged into a system where you'll be put into massive debt, while also losing your job, home, important documents, etc. We claim to want to reform criminals, yet we kick out their feet at every turn and expect them to say "thank you". And then the people who face the smallest amount of risk to being victimized by this system like to say "Yeah, it's not perfect".
