Due to the bail system, jail also serves as punishment for being poor.

I find this sentiment… a bit wishy washy.

When someone bad goes to prison it’s “I hope he gets his ass beat”, when someone innocent goes to prison it’s “how could they let this happen??”

Yeah do you understand how people shit out platitudes about hoping no one gets hurt when it’s someone innocent then turn and say the opposite when it’s someone they hate?

Look at comments when pedos go to jail.

It’s there. Every time.

Most people saying anything around those lines doesn’t actually care about justice or doing the right thing, they just want someone to come to harm, and it not be their fault or responsibility.

It’s like anonymity online. As long as they aren’t directly involved they are fine with it.

Weird. I’ve seen so many calls for this or that to someone while in jail and just get absolutely roasted in the comments.

The justiceporn community is a weird bunch that haven’t matured past 16 and watch “reality” TV in record numbers.

This is the second time this week I’ve come across someone equating two very different stances held by people in the same group to everyone in the group holding both opinions

A friendly reminder that groups aren’t real, they’re in our heads - every group is just a bunch of individual people.
