Can we not do this? It's so pathetic.

Just like how the US supposedly, "grinds slow but grinds fine". No. A literal traitor having YEARS of freedom is NOT justice of any sort. Warning a rich piece of shit that they're violating laws for the 1100th time IS NOT justice.

Stop pretending laws are applied remotely evenly or remotely expeditiously on the rich. It's blatantly and obviously not true.
