it’s also hilarious how poorly designed the graphic is. they mean EACH of those states has a lower population than LA county - not all of them combined as the map and wording would mean.

This map and that other one that was posted a few pages back are a great example of why data is useless when dealing with these people, though.

It's insane to interpret the data that this map is (very poorly) visualizing as anything other than evidence that we should do away with the electoral college, yet here we are. Whatever data you have, right wingers will just pretend that it actually supports their argument because they literally have the mentality of twelve year olds.

It's also a man who really wanted a Nobel peace prize being dismissive towards a woman who was awarded the prize Trump felt should have been his. It must have been on his mind the whole time and just before Murad was backing out, Trump just had to ask why oh why did she get it.

Tho G-Eazy pled guilty

I wonder how rocky feels about being associated with Donald trump now, given his involvement with a bunch of high end European fashion houses.

Also a choice quote from rocky that seems somewhat ironic now

Yeah, I can see how having you and your group of body guards beat down and hospitalize the guy is totally racism against you when the cops arrest you.

I saw some speech attributed to Rocky where he dismisses a ton of civil rights cases. Concluding that he lives in Beverly hills and so it doesn't concern him. But it was also saturated with nihilism and shared overwhelmingly by bad faith posters with touches of racism so I'm hesitant to crucify him over it.

stupid uppity 'celebrities' thinking that they're allowed to spend ten minutes walking away from people harassing them, constantly telling them peacefully to back off while they threaten them, and then finally defend themselves when it's clear after that time and countless attempts to disengage the people won't stop following them.

I’ve watched it and the worst of it is this side glance he does when she’s talking about her struggles. No eye contact, and body language (while sitting down) is a “why do I have to be here and listen to this person?”

Trump cannot even act like a decent human being, let alone genuinely be one.

Sweden could but doesn’t take steps to prevent people that could be a flight risk from fleeing, preferring to detain them in jail instead. How is that better?

People in This thread are arguing that it’s Better to keep people in jail than pre trial release. Seriously?

From several pages back but sweden has hundreds of totally unguarded ways to leave the country (basically open land and sea borders to all neighboring countries) so taking a passport does little to deter flight. Any electronic tagging is also easy to circumvent if you give no poo poo about ever coming back.

G eazy has 3 charges, assault (same as rocky) and drugs and gun possession, in the Same city a rocky, got a deal negotiated and finalized in 2 days, and was out of the country shortly afterward.

Rocky has one charge, has been detained like 20 days now so they could conduct an investigation (which has helpfully already been solved by several goons) and which got delayed because they had to change prosecutors due to “vacation season”

Do you not see why people could view that as a difference in treatment between whites and poc?

Numerous countries in a similar situation have solved this problem. France kept Freddie Gibbs in France and he had less of a reason to return to Europe than rocky, who has a bunch of business and financial ties in high end fashion

It doesn't matter how big of an individual flight risk a person is. There's a supreme court precedence in Sweden that declares all foreigners a flight risk and the prosecutor has no say on the matter.

Where do you get gun possession from? All sources I find say assault and drug possession for personal use. For which he got sentenced to prison (commuted to probation) and a fine of about 8000 euros.

I think when you're being followed around for a long period of time by belligerent and at times threatening people you have a pretty strong case for 'yea maybe poo poo got out of hand but I was justified in feeling I had to defend myself', yes.

But just to be clear on things that are ironclad and unchangable in Swedish law, with zero room for any interpretation and choice in application:

-every foreigner is an inherent flight risk

-taking passports is allowed but 'not done often'

-there's a 'vacation season' where the people in charge of handling these cases just peace out for a bit and welp sucks for you if you're in jail

-but if you just plead guilty and take a deal offered to you you'll get out in like a week

It's illegal to use drugs in Sweden. Not just possessing. If you fail the urine test you are automatically sentenced for use.

There's no deal making in Swedish law. You can confess or deny and it has no effect on your final sentence. Confession does reduce the amount of time you spend in jail. However all jail time is counted against the final prison sentence.

A deal is a bit different in Sweden than in the US. There is no actual negotiating between lawyers but if you admit committing the crime and assist in the investigation (which is mandatory in Sweden, no matter what) you will spend less time in jail.
