When a woman calls the cops because her abusive SO threatened to kill her, they can’t do anything about it.
Did she say she was running for the presidency? Because in that case, she could take someone out on main street and she could grab them by the pussy too and nobody would say anything.
She should have tried to purchase a president or maybe purchase the presidency itself for a self pardon.
Joe should pardon her wtf Joe!
No, the executives, BoD and major investors do.
Of course she doesn’t, but the ruling class needs to make an example of someone - they’re not about to let us peasants get away with defying them.
No

No need to scroll further, folks.
Betteridge’s Law of Headlines. Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word “No.”
Meanwhile customer service agents have been hearing much worse than this for decades, actual direct threats not vague comments, and no one ever gave a shit before.
Don’t give them ideas
That’s because those threats are directed at the agents.
This threat is specific to CEO’s and those in charge.
It’s that simple.
The US justice system is f’ed up.
We have a legal system, not a justice system.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. She could have said DDD without “you people are next.”
Having said that, if we’re really judging people, and corporations are people, why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter? 70 people pass every day due to the lack of medical care in America. We have worse outcomes, shorter average life than other civilized countries.
When is a corporation sued for murder & sent to jail? I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the point. These systems aren’t making sense. They lack humanity. This is a bad, morally bankrupt system. Older Americans loves their Medicare: that’s socialism.
I’m so sick of this shit.
Two wrongs don’t make a right
There was only the one wrong here, she didn’t do anything wrong
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
They lack humanity.
If they lack humanity, why doesn’t it make a right?
Hurt people hurt people. I don’t know how to fix things. But if we go around destroying one another, what will be left?
I think the system is immoral. It should be abolished. An absurd takeaway from that would be “health insurance workers should be jailed.”
I find it challenging to say our humanity is through being inhuman to one another. Wouldn’t our humanity need to come from humane action?
I’m as upset as everyone else about these machinations. Everyone is a child of someone. If we don’t remember that, all is lost.
Front line worker: “I have no moral culpability, I’m just doing what my manager tells me to.”
Manager: “I have no moral culpability, I just do what the executives tell me to.”
Executives: “I have no moral culpability, I just maximize shareholder value.”
Shareholders: “All I did was buy an index fund in my 401k. Why you trying to pin this on me?”
186 people murdered by the health insurance companies every day, yet somehow not a single human being involved has any moral culpability.
This is why Luigi did nothing wrong. If there is one person who has moral culpability, it’s the CEO. They justify their obscene salaries by taking credit for a company’s performance. They can accept the moral culpability as well.
It didn’t fly at Nuremberg, yet it flies in capitalistic societies who demanded retribution at Nuremberg. Go figure.
We are limited by our material conditions.
It sure would be nice if all hurt people could be safely rehabilitated and reeducated so they stop hurting people. That’s not feasible at the moment, though.
The next best thing is just making sure they can never hurt anyone ever again, until we can build that society where no one ever gets hurt ever again.
Nonhumans deserve rights too
True.
Demons don’t.
why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter?
Because they make money when they deny something.
Thank you for answering the rhetorical question, homie. ✌️Money is the root of all evil.
Money can do wonderful things. The love of (gildlust) money is the root of all evil.
Tru dat
Give me yours then so you’ll be a better person?
She was released and all charges dropped. This was a silly farce by the judge and prosecutors from the jump
I don’t think that’s right. She’s been released on bond to house arrest; the charges still stand.
Lol no
Long live freedom of speech!
That’s for the court to decide.
For us, the people, to decide. You dropped your clown wig.
When the court decides that IS the people deciding, judges are a public office and the jury is literally just a group of people who have to make a unanimous decision. You dropped your red star.
Not a communist or whatever, dummy. The people decide, dummy. The court is an arranged meeting place for those people to inform the judge of their consensus opinion, dummy.
You dropped your clown wig, dummy.
lmao
On the other hand when women complain about threats from stalkers the police do nothing. You might as well delete the word justice from this criminal justice system.
The system is definitely criminal alright
Jury Nullification is my right.
not on lemmy.world evidently
The thing about Jury Nullification is that you have to make it through the majority of a trial. 97-98% of criminal cases (in the U.S.) end in a plea deal without ever going to trial.
Sure, but that’s on them. Taking a deal is always in the hands of the defendant. But if it looks like public opinion is on their side and the concept of jury Nullification has become common knowledge, that might be enough to substantially swing what’s offered in those plea deals. Prosecutor might be generous to avoid the jury letting them off Scott free.
This is so sad
