Man, I guess stealing a billion dollars and getting busted and put in prison means your choices for stuff get reduced. Who would have thought?!
They said jail, not prison, and he’s “facing charges”. He’s not proven guilty yet
He's in jail because he was intimidating and trying to bribe witnesses. And even in the jail he has special access to internet.
Man, I guess stealing a billion dollars and getting busted ~~and put in prison~~ means your choices for stuff get reduced. Who would have thought?!
Better?
But is that fair? Shouldn't prisons be places you can have all of the amenities you enjoyed in life before you broke the law? What are our taxes being spent on if not fiber internet and Netflix in every cell? Signed, SBFaltaccountNERDSlol
EDIT: F, you got me, you son of a bitch.
But I can't be the only one who thinks these people defending him are extremely sus. They were in other threads too, like the one about the baby-killing nurse; they were in there defending her, making similar arguments to the ones found in here, and brigading and downvoting anybody who disagreed with them. I think it might be connected. Could they be from some kind of trolling group, I wonder?
He’s in jail not prison.
You go to jail to be held before trial. He isn’t even guilty yet even tho we know he is.
We all know he broke the law but it hasn’t been proven yet. So I guess the question is, is this how all people deserve to be treated before it’s been demonstrated through due processing that you are guilty?
What happened to innocent before proven guilty?
Don’t get me wrong this guy sucks but there’s something to be said about the fact that he’s in JAIL and not prison.
It's really not fair to reduce a philosophy like veganism to "choices for stuff" and denying your right to follow it, which is legally protected where I'm from at least, to "get reduced". It's not like he's complaining that he can't change the channel on the radio.
