The prosecutor: "Based upon the way the incident occurred, it looked to me like a guy who was a little under the influence, thought he had it in reverse and he actually had it in drive"
Whomst among us hasn't drunkenly committed a hate crime in our f3500 max super pickup?
Holy shit you weren’t doing a bit they actually fuckin said that
Montana is just 3 drunk drivers and a cow in a trenchcoat.
A cow would never
Prosecutors when hate crime: "I think it was just an honest fuck-up, bro."
Prosecutors when they can pad their resume with a poor person's life over loitering or some bullshit: " I AM THE DEVIL, AND I AM HERE TO DO THE DEVIL'S WORK!!!"
The law isn't being applied inconsistently if you consider who these laws were designed to punish.
Pit
transphobes love to claim they are "protecting" (cis) women. and then they do this shit
this is fucking crazy, this reminds me of Nex Benedict, they've been just literally shouting to the skies for years now that its legal to kill us.
get a fucking gun, now, these people will beat you and break you and WILL get away with it. We need to defend ourselves from them.
Tf?!
His name is John P. Carr and this is the image of him at the Cowboys Bar in Great Falls:
The victim was seriously injured with a fractured pelvis and a puncture wound in her thigh. Emergency responders found her on the ground, in severe pain with “fluid” coming out of their mouth, according to charging documents.
Court documents indicate he will receive credit for spending four days in jail after his arrest, but he has otherwise been out on bond throughout the case
According to the plea, Carr will receive a five-year suspended sentence, which means he will serve no additional jail time.
I never want to hear a single honkey talk about India ever again
lmao I forgot this gem
John P. Carr, 59, agreed to plead no contest to criminal endangerment
I can't tell if virtue signalling how much you hate women, or choosing the lowest possible charge so it sticks. I guess he put the victim in a "criminally endangering" situation by ramming her with his car. And even that didn't stick, a failed state
I spent 28 days in jail for my first offense DUI
Wow. I wonder if these folks realize that literally the entire point of the government having an exclusive monopoly on violence is so people don't feel the need/permission to take action themselves. Well, shit, get a gun while you still can and protect yourself, because clearly the government won't. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
They do say if you want to commit a crime, do it with a car.
Am I reading this right? It looks like he’s serving 5 years with the 4 days figure being time he served before he got out on bail.
It's a suspended sentence, he won't go to prison uness he violates probation. So he's getting 4 days + probation.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
