Innocent man jailed in USA for 18 years denied compensation by Supreme Court

that's because no one takes thadeus that serious, just like when he claims he did your mom

 

So what does one have to do in order to get the kind of cred on this BBS where you don't have to follow any rules and it gets played off because of some jokes you tell?

 

the thadeus gets cranky when he's not getting any

...in this case it seems some sort of additional remedy should be avail when there was a deliberate and significant miscarriage of justice. As someone said, I think he gets some compensation for being falsely imprisoned, but this is so much worse. Maybe the remedy is criminal against the guys -- sort of pointless since he's dead -- rather then civil.

 

I've noted on a number of occasions that the consistent and increasing concentration of power in the hands of fewer and fewer individuals doesn't appear to be reversing or even slowing down.

I've also said that there is an unfortunate the-devil-we-know aspect to most of this: people see the powerful/wealthy in this country living above the law and causing damage to our country and our democracy, but believe they can live with it because any action that WE could take would likely have to be drastic.

The people who are gaining power are NEVER going to willingly give it up - they're going to keep abusing our system of justice (mostly by avoiding it all together), damaging our representative republic by either selling out their constituency or by buying influence that is vastly disproportional to the single vote that most of us get, and tanking our economy without punishment.

This is not a situation that has improved as presidents have changed - it's getting worse under Obama, not better.

All these factors lead me to believe, once the middle class and the brainwashed free-marketeers wake up to the fact that they are being **** on every single day, that violence may not only be necessary to give the power back to the people, but that violence is also justified as a potential solution to the problem since no other solution appears to work.

We have criminals, the very people who destroyed our economy and caused misery for millions of Americans (lost jobs, lost homes, lost health), living in expensive mansions and taking vacations and enjoying all the benefits that they stole from us without our justice department even pressing the smallest of charges against them. Nothing. Instead, the government took OUR money and gave it to these same groups of people. Since our justice system is completely overlooking these wealthy cancerous growths on our society, I've noted that it wouldn't be completely unjustified if someone were to enact justice through violence.

But, with all that being said, in this case I was really just hoping Scalia would die soon of natural causes.

Also I did your mom.

 

I think pgab is wrong. I think what Thad says in D&D is serious. Here, he passionate but geniune about his points. Basso on the other hand is a known troll. When have you seen basso with a response like the one by Thad above?

And even if you, as a conservative, would have said it compared to if basso would have said it, no way in hell you would get the responses basso would have gotten. But even basso I wouldn't seriously believe he is calling for someone's death.

But what Thad said was definitely in poor taste.

 

It's stories like these that make me realize that as bad as I think my life is it's not even close to as bad as it could be. The Fukushima 50.

Now this.

I don't feel worthy of my life right now.

 

I think the great problem is . . . people are committing crimes that affect
people on such a grand scale. . that the common American cannot understand it.

While they know CEO A stole 500 million from the pension fund and bankrupted his company and got a 100 million buyout and may do 1 year of fed time
HOWEVER - people can understand greed and don't feel so hurt about it
but
when someone who worked in that company for 30 yrs
now age 61 . . cannot pay his bills because his pension is now worthless
and he lost his job because of what the CEO did . . .
When this guy ROBS a liquor store . . . people see that as a worse crime
and a indicator of poor breeding and low classness or some such nonsense.
because. . . the CEO is a 'better person' and not a 'threat to society'
unlike the Liquor Store Theif
