Anywhere you go on this earth nothing is illegal if you have enough power and leverage.

They always drive around the poor neighborhoods to ticket and skip the rich ones.

Lol, thought that was a link to an article about the $1M pardons lmao

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 21 hours ago

Sucks to be a poor.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 11 points 20 hours ago

It all stops when we collectively say so

It’s also really easy to not speed.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

Likewise, it is also really easy to speed.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

Unless there's a small town with a population of like 12 people, 5 of whom are cops, and speed limit signs hidden by vegetation so you don't see it dropped from 75 to 45 for 100 yards and you get a ticket for going over 25mph over and don't have the option to take a driver's safety course to dismiss the ticket.

Want to challenge it in court? Okay. Drive 200 miles back into town between 1:00 and 1:05 on a Tuesday to request a court date that that will require you ro travel again that they'll ensure doesn't work with your schedule. Also the judge (who doesn't have to have a law degree) is one of the 12 citizens, and the remaining 6 are the jury.

Good luck!

It's also really easy not to prey on kids, but here we are in a society controlled by pedophiles.

Every district has their money making offramp that the locals know to watch out for around the end of the month.

[–] Purebred0880@lemmy.wtf 2 points 14 hours ago

Every US district probably does. Quotas are so stupid.

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

It is, but especially on the highway speed limits are just arbitrary numbers that may have made sense 50 years ago, but on modern roads, in modern vehicles are just absolute nonsense. The German autobahn is clear proof of that.

[–] BrickEater@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Yeah but I got places to be

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

:-D Fund your local vigilantes today!

Where is Batman’s GoFundMe?!

[–] AfterlifeAdventures@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He's rich he won't help us

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Aw shit. This is probably accurate… Now imagining Elon Musk stumbling around at night in an ill-fitting Batman costume, helping muggers and beating up the poor.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Lynchings are back on the menu, boys!

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The state kills and brutalizes citizens extra-judiciously all the time. Why should the government be allowed a monopoly on that sort of violence?

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Killings should belong to everyone

Spider-man story:

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Well they have that second set of justice which prevents those pesky consequences for their actions.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago

Shit, Leon Black doesn’t even have to answer a congressional subpoena

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 8 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Well maxwell is still in jail…so not everyone but pretty close

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

She’s basically at a resort, isn’t she?

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty much, low security facility…so yah

[–] Squirrelknight@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

They even gave her a dog to keep her company.

Plus, I'm pretty sure she gets to leave on weekends or something.

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Damn did they actually give her the dog? I thought some senator said that was too much and canceled that.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Good. I'm glad she is getting the appropriate penance of....no dog in her resort.

[–] BuckFutter@timeyak.com 2 points 18 hours ago

Its one of those moments where you would be disgusted by it all but can’t help but laugh because its all so ridiculous

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

A yes, the woman is in jail and only the woman

[–] UnequalExchange@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

....She was the only woman on the list?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

No, but most of the other women on the list are listed as victims

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

This is clearly the problem, not enough victims who took advantage of poor Epstein are in prison. After all, if it wasn't for them all this would have never happened! /s

[–] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Delay, deny, depose

[–] MadBits@europe.pub -1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Next time learn to celebrate hannukah instead of Christmas.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This reads like you're saying they should (pretend to) be Jewish instead, to avoid court like those on the Epstein Lists.

There are Jews that aren't Zionists.

[–] MadBits@europe.pub -2 points 16 hours ago

Oh, I am well aware of the false jews, don't worry. Nonetheless, the quote still stands. Even if not zionists, jews rarely face legal consequences in our society.
