      Also… The disproportionate police response when it’s wealthy and/or connected people compared to poor everyman Joe and/or a minority is as frustrating as it is sad.

      Maybe if they didn’t flaunt their wealth like that, people wouldn’t rob them.

            Nah that commenter is right. The issue isn’t people with any amount more flexing their wealth, the issue is how disproportionate wealth distribution is and the things some people do to keep others down in order to keep themselves increasingly higher above the peasantry.

            You morons are arguing that it’s okay to chain snatch in the hood, it’s not, it’s only excusable to steal from major corps and the obscenely wealthy.

                Lmao yeah I know what the subject is about. It does not change the flaws in statements and lines of thought like the above comment. Using the logic of that comment would that snatching chains from your neighbors necks is okay because they flaunted their wealth. Just focus on the bad things the guy actually did.

      I think it’d be great if we lived in a world where violence wasn’t required, and we could, but we don’t. Ideally an actual just justice system would handle things so individuals don’t need to use violence, but it isn’t just.
