Billingsley hasn’t even been arrested. He is a suspect. I guess because he has a criminal past, he’s no longer deserving of a fair trial, according to this guy.
US isn’t interested in rehabilitating people and having them become productive members of society when they leave. Why? Because we never abolished slavery, just required that someone had to be jailed first to be able to be used as slave labor. This is why you have private prisons, etc. It’s profitable to have prisoners. This means you have a lot of people coming out of the system continuing to commit criminal acts, they learned more about crime while inside, not less.
I guess all Public Defenders and Defense Attorneys in general are the “lowest of the low” and “pathetic.” Because apparently no one in the history of the US has ever had the law turned against them unfairly. Cops definitely don’t do things like arresting people for “resisting arrest” with no other charges.
This guy is just some angry asshole who can’t be fucked to understand how you actually rehabilitate people. He’s only interested in punishment. Which… last I checked, doesn’t work very well on it’s own in changing/rehabilitating people.
As much as it is cathartic to punch idiots in the face (Nazis for example), it does very little to change the mind of the individual punched, and is more likely to make themselves convinced they’re a victim. Violence/Punishment doesn’t teach people shit, it just makes them more sure they’re right. This is how our jails and prisons work.
