Yeah frankly I don't give a poo poo if a guy succeeded in being too rich to get hosed over. Schadenfreude would be if his money completely failed to distinguish him from the tons of people who aren't so lucky every day. Lol if you went YAYYYY GOOD FOR HIM

There are lots of instances of people being too rich to go to jail, too rich to face consequences while everyone poorer than them eats poo poo and dies, but they're not posted here because most of us don't feel sympathy for people like that.

No, I went "Good, gently caress the government" because taking people's land for a pisswater sum is awful. They've been building a hilariously inept rail system here for like twenty years now, constantly hiking taxes to pay for, spending billions on it even though no one really cares or wants it anymore because it looks like poo poo and just keeps costing everyone more money. Now they've started to just take people's land so they can keep building it. Except whoops, they misplanned so now they took your land for no reason, and have to take someone else's land! No you're not getting the land your family had for generations back either.

in most cases I would in fact be on the side against the rich guy using his heaps of cash to gently caress with the public good

however I do not believe using eminent domain to seize a bunch of people's land specifically for the purpose of building an oil pipeline counts as the public good, so gently caress the government go rich guy this one time

edit: wait, IS this an oil pipeline? if it's a water pipeline then gently caress the rich guy

edit 2: yeah no IT IS NOT AN OIL PIPELINE, it's a WATER pipeline, it actually is something that's meant to benefit People As A Whole, so yeah, no, gently caress this guy. Water-use politics is complicated, DFW doesn't have enough water to sustain its current growth and the way they're "solving" it by sucking the water out of other communities is especially complicated, but the fact of the matter is that the city needs to have water piped in and this guy's obstructionism is stopping other people from having enough water. It would be admirable if his obstructionism were stopping some other guys from getting richer off oil money but this is different and he's being an rear end and defending himself by saying it's so other rich people don't lose their lakefront vacation properties lmao

SHREWD EVERYMAN SHOWS THE CITY WHAT FOR!

quote:

There must have been some serious celebration that night, because the very next morning, Donnelly, wearing only his underwear, barged into a woman’s Bronx, N.Y., home and punched her up to 20 times. He then drank milk from her refrigerator and ran off, according to police.

Donnelly’s lawyer argued the cop was sleepwalking and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He pleaded guilty to the assault charge in March.

Donnelly apparently avoided jail time because the 33-year-old victim told prosecutors he needed rehab, not jail … which is probably true of a lot of people currently locked up.

Huzzah! Another hero beats the system. The Man can't get any bullshit to stick on this smooth operator. An inspiration to us all! Sure, I don't like nude cops beating and robbing people... but gently caress PRIVATE PRISONS. Go man go!!!!

This video was taken at a protest to protect the Sam Houston monument in Texas because of "rumors" that antifas were gonna take it down (none of them showed up). The best part of it was that many of the idiots there were draped in Confederate flags, the very same flag that Sam Houston vehemently refused to swear allegiance to.

The plot thickens.

The so-called "rumors" of Antifa gathering to remove the Sam Houston monument were made up by alt-right trolls posing as Texas Antifa. The plan was for real Antifa to show up to a fake protest but they caught on and called the alt-right trolls out on the their bullshit. The Oathkeepers didn't.

The Oathkeepers got trolled by the alt-right.
