    Back in the day, the legal system would periodically hold a rich person accountable for their crimes as a sacrifice to ensure stability.

    Now the legal system continuously sacrifices countless poor people for the rich people’s crimes, which is needed to reach the same amount of stability because of the conversion rate.

      No sarcasm needed there.

      It was a farce back then as well. The boys were doing it, and Martha got singled out because she’s a woman.

          That was correct too.

          The rich are committing more crimes than ever, and as such, the proles need to get punished more than ever to make people think LEOs are doing something.

          LEO: “Crime is up. We should do something about it.” beats up homeless person

        Back then, the government liked to target celebrities, because prosecuting a single celebrity will keep millions of civilians under control. The IRS is famous for it.

        Today, they get a much bigger thrill out of hurting poor people. Hurting pathetic, helpless people is HILARIOUS!
