Florida's not generally known as a lenient crime state, so how was this guy still walking free?

Perhaps 3 strikes with a long mandatory sentence relevant to the crimes (a matrix of original possible sentences) and a review at that time? 4th strike is life without parole but staying clean in prison may give you a chance to get out. This guy should not have been on the streets. |

He hasn’t “won” one yet. Here’s a good explainer as to why the racist little thug only got peanuts (~$50k) from the Post: https://twitter.com/respectablelaw/status/1287597289255710720?s=21 It begins:

I am a liberal. But, how is he a racist thug? He was approached? He was standing there with a hat.... There is no logical reason to call or even assume he was racist. If he was there would not be all of these defamation lawsuits being settled.... |

I don't think it's humanly possible for someone to be a neocon and a liberal. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I forget the quote from the 60s or 70s but its something like (paraphrasing) : "Neocons are liberals who lost faith with mainstream liberals to get it right on crime and foreign policy". In any case how am I not liberal? I support gay rights, trans rights, social reform, Medicare for all, UBI. But, yes I support the police and military. I am probably the most liberal person here, as far as leaning towards socialism. And, yes that kid did nothing wrong. He has a right to stand in public with a hat, and people chose to approach him. Remeber he was a minor, and was accosted by a bunch of adult males... Imagine if Trump supporters did that to somebody wearing a Biden hat, we would rightfully be upset. The idea that the kid is the bad guy is absurd, regardless of his polical views.... |
