I got a bogus moving violation ticket in a ghetto. Decided to fight it. Watched as minority after minority got their ass handed to them in traffic court. Cops are super rude about everything. Few months later I get jury duty. Hispanic man accused of a violent crime…ok yeah. I have already seen how the sausage is made.

Now I didn’t get picked they had enough before they even got to me but I admit I would be very disinclined to take the justice systems word. Maybe that is the wrong attitude to have. Just because the justice system is very very imperfect doesn’t mean that there is no crime.

Everytime the justice system does something like this. Mistreats minorities or the poor, refuses to go after the powerful it weakens it’s authority. And we are all worse off.

Meanwhile at work I can’t take a gift over five dollars and if I get like a box of chocolate I leave it in the break room.

Amazing how much integrity you must show is inverse to the amount of damages not showing it will cause.

Around 5 years into it is when I felt like I finally hit my stride. Maybe it was because she went to kindergarten.

I watched my mom and dad grow old, not sure about up.

I don’t get those. Half of yt comments are “I like how x” where x is the plot of the video.
