We can not allow 2 justice systems to exit. If the law isnt equal for all, then what is it? What is the point?
The government wants our taxes, but refuses to represent us or protect us. Thats not what i signed up for. Thats not american. Thats not worth defending.
Oppression and control. Protection of the wealthy from the poor.
To go further, it IS worthy of contempt, hatred, and VIOLENCE DESTRUCTION.
OPPRESSION MUST BE MET WITH AN EQUAL OR GREATER REACTION. EVERY TIME.
you already have 2 systems… it’s time to act to destroy them and fix it
Holy shit, that article is tedious to read. Nowadays “good writing” seems to mean “jump around in the timeline a lot and write a whole lot of irrelevant backstory”.
The writer needs AI to pad the words in an article, and the reader needs AI to sum up an article quickly.
Maybe it was an AI?
The Tarantino Method, they call it.
Oh good, it wasn’t just me then. Admittedly I’m ADHD but usually I have no problem reading long form articles if they’re well written, but this shit was just… uh… shit
tl;dr - convicted Guilty by jury, then-Governor of NJ who was handing out pardons like candy immediately pardoned him via a pre-existing clemency request that went into public view on the nj.gov website while they were clearing the courtroom after the jury left. Rest of the article is word salad, probably AI.
I don’t have a problem with the writing style. Doesntseem like AI to me.
Thanks. NYT is paywalled.
Then use an add-on to block.
The article is so poorly written. I can’t believe people pay for this kind of garbage writing.
They don’t that’s why the writing is garbage
You forgot about how humid it was.
So what is the point of juged by your pears. Or is it we are not his peers cause we poor.
Unfortunately, we never were. They have just stopped pretending at this point.

Not just a rich man, the nepo baby of a Democratic party power broker, apparently
FTA:
“Unfortunately, when politics pervades justice, the rule of law becomes subordinate to influence and power…a conviction can be rendered meaningless not by the verdict of a jury, but by the intervention of political power and connections,” the ACPO spokesperson wrote. “Justice must be blind to status, relationships, power, and expediency; when it is not, the community loses faith in the very system meant to protect it.”
Well give that fucking family OJ treatment cant pardon away a civil suit. And since he was found guilty well then take that fucking families wealth.
NBC is actually a much worse company.
How so? I’m not that familiar with either of them other than knowing they are news outlets.
I have unhinged family members who would gladly hunt down an individual who did this to their loved one.
Is that a “hoarding guns in case the government gets corrupt” situation. Or are the people involved too white for that?
American justice. Best justice money can buy.
I just realized that the knowledge I have from newspapers from my youth no longer applies. They no longer put the most pertinent info near the top, but at the bottom. Burying the lede is just the default nowadays.
The governor pardoned him almost immediately after the jury came back.
And then they’ll ask why people see Luigi as a hero.
I nominate this bastard as a potential resident of Luigi’s mansion.
Awful article, its truly hard to read. Why is the entire backstory of the victim relevant? We shouldn’t need to be told to have empathy for an innocent victim, that should be automatic. The driver deserves a sentence for second degree murder.
I lost track and had to abandon reading it. Meandering rambling.
Here is another case of a connected rich man killing a poor innocent, and going scot free. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FmbwU3J-2kk
Bob Dylan - The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll
To be fair, pardons exist for cases such as The Hurricane
With great pardon power comes great pardon responsibility
I think also hesitency
Unsurprisingly the same Governor that made plates and insurance mandatory for all e-bikes. Guy had a busy week as he was leaving office apparently.
Issuing this pardon before the jury had even rendered the verdict. Funny how mountains can be moved so expeditiously when it’s for a friend.
The power of the pardon is so fucking stupid. Make prosecutors and cops and judges accountable for legal malpractice, and make legislators include negating convictions as part of legislation that changes a law.
I really like the idea of invalidating the law if a pardon was issued. I immediately wonder how fascists would use it as a weapon somehow.
Pardon election interference?
They pardon someone for being a pedo.
Maybe your plan wouldn’t work so well.
It would been a shame if karma bite that guy in the ass and he got assaulted in the street and left for dead.
