This is the same judge who sentenced a guy to 40 years for selling meth, Judge Smails style, “because I felt I owed it to him”

Not really but it was some other bullshit like “this is wrong but not immoral, if it were immora I’d have to resign” :smug:

It’s good to know that deep down, all the incredible cynicism in this thread really does conceal a strong moral center. We can still be unhappy and surprised by something.

It’s funny to me because up here a four year sentence would be unusually harsh for someone like Mannafort. I think it’s a consequence of the insanely harsh system you have overall that it seems soft. Armed robbery will get you three years where I live and that doesn’t bother me.

Proportionality is the issue. Imagine someone getting three years for armed robbery and then someone that was involved in decades of crimes and immoral acts, who continued to commit crimes and flaunts his disregard for the law while on bail and in prison, gets like 3 months. And may be out in 1.5 months with good behavior.

It serves none of the purposes of criminal prosecution. Hey immoral garbage person: you can live a life of insane riches, be completely inconsiderate of anyone and everyone around you, literally help dictators commit atrocities and torture and kill people for decades, deny it all and make every effort to illegally sabotage your trial—and if you still, against all odds, get convicted of numerous felonies, your only penalty will be 3.5 years in prison (most likely in protective adseg with a laptop and a phone)

You don't have to be funny or interesting if you're amazing at it.

This game is so fuckin' bad.



Edit:

In law thread news, my Lyft driver was a corporate lawyer in Argentina for 33 years and he's getting an LLM.

He said he didn't want to practice law anymore.

I asked him what the gently caress he was doing and he said "It's either law or Domino's."

I think I'd pick Domino's.

Just a heads up, the audio in 1 is wonkier than I'd like but it was my first one ever.

The best ones are probably 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10.

And if anyone wants to try co-commentating, let me know. Because I have trouble getting people to do it twice because the game sucks.

How racist can you be

Because the alt right grift is a good one if you can get it. Paunchy, white, and talking into a camera in your bedroom is not only tolerated, it's pretty much required.

It you are one of the top, say, 500 StarCraft players in the world and are willing to become an insufferable human brand (see below for non-Starcraft example), then maybe.

Tbh that’s how I reacted to classmates that didn’t pass the bar, and I didn’t even gently caress any of them.
