Kong answers Questions pt II
Tweet bag continued
Part II, LFG!!!
Q:
A: Philosoraptor is a fellow attorney…according to him. THEREFORE he may know something about the system. He is right - not enough resources. Probably because the court system is not about 6’8 lesbian domestic violent offenders being released based on the color of their skin and free throw percentage. More rainbow flags = more funding.
County boards are part of the problem. These fat sacks of shit put money towards stupid projects and ignore District/State’s Attorney’s offices. Maybe $5 million towards that rehab on the outskirts of town because the owner has blackmail on half the board for diddling kids is a bad idea. My county board is a group of worthless toads, can you tell?
The BIGGER issue is societal rot. I read Always with Honor. Pyotr Wrangel would have shot half this county and it would have been justified. We are a country losing its honor. Even Russian supervillain feels bad for us:
Funding via government is pulling teeth. Go train bjj, buy Ring Cameras, own a few AR’s.
Q:
A: He’s right. There is a stigma to being a convicted felon. I am not ignoring BTAnabolic’s reply to his tweet, FWIW - just focusing on this question.
Felons do get screwed. It’s a lifetime blacklist. Non-violent offenses should get a 10 year expungement. It is close to impossible to get a decent job as a felon. Young people (call it under 25) that get convicted of felonies end up in the cycle for most of their lives - that sucks. I’d go as far as a 5-10 year rolling expungement period.
Alternatively, we need entrepreneur programs in prison. We should help people who screwed/got screwed by the system to exit the system. Being rich is the way out. I can feel myself pressing to get to my number: $4,200,690.
There’s no point in locking people up without teaching them, or trying to teach them, skills. Is there no one woke willing to teach ESG to prisoners?
Q:
A: This is another one that needs to be addressed. We force victims to take off work to meet prior to trial, THEN be available for multiple days DURING the week. Being a crime victim sucks. You usually get no justice, no restitution, AND have to wait months/years to then take off multiple days of court to have a defense attorney GRILL you on minute details of the night in question from years ago.
On the other hand, if you are falsely accused…you probably want this system. The system makes it annoying and difficult to get a conviction. Many cases plea out for this reason. Whether you did it or not, sometimes best to take the offer and move on. Court date after court date, case hanging over your head…I have no interest in being accused of a crime.
The system is brutal either way. Weekend court would blow too, but might help witnesses. I will flip to defense if weekend court becomes a thing.
Q:
A: You live in Canada, where everything slides to fascism. OF COURSE the rules are murky - how can you convince people you are becoming a communist country if they can see it clearly?
American laws and rules are clear as mud too. Yes you were speeding, but by how much and who is the prosecutor that day and did they have coffee and do they want to do the extra paperwork and does the judge care? I’ve had judges toss cases for many reasons, many of which were unclear. Did I care? Not usually. I tossed many traffic tickets in my day. Anything you did that I have done I usually tried to toss. Cocaine possession? How much? A GRAM? That’s called Saturday night, your honor.
Like much of life, the legal system is an amorphous ever moving blob. Get jacked, get rich, have a low resting heart rate, this is the only way.
Namaste,
KONG
1) Are DAs or defense attorneys typically more jacked?
2) While I wouldn’t necessarily let either group watch my dog over a long weekend, which side typically has the shadiest characters?
3) Does it ever work when a defense attorney claims the FBI etc put their client up to it so they can bolster their status as an informant?
You know it's bad when Russian supervillians feel bad for us 🤣🤣🤣
