As much freedom as you can afford.
Law applied unequally means those in privilege will flaunt it and those still wanting, correctly, have no respect for it.
Fuck the law. Fuck the judges. Fuck the lawyers. Fuck the police. Might equals right in America. The winners will, and currently are, rewriting the histories to absolve them and their ancestors any wrongdoing.
Stop acting like there's some kind of decorum to uphold. If only one side is upholding it, news flash, it doesn't exist. You're just allowing yourself to be outmaneuvered. While any of y'all are up there on the high road, look down and witness the cruelty you arent protecting against. Keep clutching them pearls, cuz every minute more of us are being murdered by those sworn to protect and serve, or medicines that demand the culmination of your entire life's work. The law ≠ morality. This immoral, institutionalized, embodiment of corruption we're in can be summed up with this fact. Footage of whatever crime you are accused of, from police cams, citizens dash cams, private business security cams, the state will leverage it's power to use against you - but that power will actively be used against you if it exonerates you
So what I'm saying, is if your toes are dipped into the criminal courts, there is absolutely zero incentive to not go full cartel. Just wear a suit, sponsor a little league team, donate to both parties, the mayor and the police union and remember to let your obstacles well enough for an open casket, have some class after all, and you'll never see the inside of a cell.
Under a government that imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison - Thoreau
I’m a lawyer and I enjoy getting fucked. I also enjoy fucking. And conserving the fuck out of nature so that it exists in the future—so much so I do it for a living.
This J.D. fucks.
