More going after corrupt judges please.
If they prefer killing themselves over going to prison, it means that they know what kind of conditions to expect there and that they would rather die. Really telling when the people responsible for creating this system of modern slavery cant live with their own creation.
My most downvoted comment on here is when a Judge got punched in the face I said something along the lines of "well, they send people away for the rest of their lives and then go play golf the same evening. Glad one actually realized there could be consequences for being a dick"
I know its not a popular opinion but man I stand on it. Fuck them, they don't give a fuck about any of the people they force into a lifetime of slavery for petty non violent offenses.
I've had controversial opinions about judges, cops, prosecutors, and etc, who are involved in particular egregious violations of their duties, do not deserve due process. They've clearly demonstrated they don't believe the system has value.
I'll admit I didn't read the article, but if $63k was the sum total of all bribes, and they chose to kill themselves rather than face punishment, then it's really telling of the prison system.
It's not just the prison system, a judge would likely get protective custody in a prison, which is almost solitary confident.
I'd imagine he's could be worried about bumping into people in prison that he's had a hand in putting there!
I can't imagine judges are popular in prison, and corrupt judges are likely to be extra reviled.
I think it's more about shame than prison.
Yeah thats probably true, but i felt a need to shit talk the justice system when i wrote the comment.
Do SCOTUS next!
