Aaron Swartz and the US
13 years ago
General
If there's one group of people I hate, it's district attorneys. They take their jobs way too seriously, at the cost of fucking over common sense in place of enforcing idiotic and ill-founded laws. Innocent people get so fucked over because of DA's who don't understand proportionate punishment. It's ridiculous how much power they have, especially when they're ignorant, heartless fucks who entirely disregard common sense. I'm sorry, but common sense does have it's place in law.
In Aaron Swartz's case, I would have committed suicide too if some DA had a stick up her ass and was levying insanely unreasonable charges against me. Why the hell do insane assholes like Carmen Ortiz have the weight of the government behind them? She's had a history of disproportionate charges, so why is she still in power? If you agree with me, Click Here
The American legal system is so fucked up, but we're such a slow moving nation that we'll probably topple over before we even get 1% of the way to fixing it. There's a reason Europe makes fun of us. Most Americans don't believe in evolution, most disregard global warming even though it's been proven time and time again, and we have the most fucked up medical care of any country ever, which was refuse to acknowledge and freak out when anyone proposes a band-aid, let alone a solution. We don't like change, even though we're fundamentally broken.
Sorry guys, but we dumb. :/
