Yikes. That was a painful read. He traumatized a 16 year old, then offered to be her 'mentor'. So many red flags here.
power trip is one hell of a drug
That motherfucker needs to be disbarred
It’s easy to pile on however his point about how serious it is being arraigned in court and how he strives to make sure that kids understand and don’t end up making those types of mistakes.
"Those type of mistakes"? Falling asleep during a boring trip? Did you want them to salute the judge and kneel for him? The judge is just pissy because they didn't bow before him and praise him.
You don't get to traumatize a person because you feel like it.
Spoken like a real bootlicker. If you don't want to go to jail, have you tried to look less black?
Lick more boots.
Right. Now this kid is scared and probably distrusts the legal system. What a great lesson.
How about, instead of calling people bootlicker, we suggest the person reevaluate their position and give them a chance to adjust their perspective. People tend to entrench themselves in their opinion when attacked. There isn’t any excuse for a person to lose their freedom because another wants to “make a point”. Sorry not poking anyone deliberately, just the dozenth or so post I’ve read that has been aggressive rather than educational. Lemmy is supposed to be better, we can keep it better together. Have a good day
I appreciate your attempt to improve the culture in this community, but I feel like you have made up in your head what Lemmy is supposed to be. Please don't get exhausted with random people being rude.
