This proposed law also has a three strikes law in it. Life in prison without parole for 3 felonies.
Also, apparently child defendants aren't allowed to have a jury? That's not highlighted, so it's current law there.
This entire thing is an authoritarian wet dream. Create outlaws, and then turn them into slaves or bodies.
It also bans charitable organizations from paying more than $5000 in bail.
For violent felonies, it doesn't allow them to pay bail at all.
Which means anyone could provoke anyone to violence and they would be jailed with no hope of escape. Including ostensibly a homeless person by destroying their stuff.
Ya know the concept that one must take unreasonable actions in an unreasonable situation comes to mind. If someone gets into a fight for example, they may just default into "accidentally" killing the person so that they can write the narritive for example.
This bullshit is only going to continue until we all band together and do something about those motherfuckers.
Making rash moves can easily backfire in times like these, better to take small precise moves than large random ones. In eliminating one threat you may create a martyr or galvanize ones enemies while weaking oneself. Just look at the German spartacists to see how well rash moves can backfire.
Who said anything about doing anything rash?
🤔 Protesting in the major cities would probably do a lot to draw negative attention toward the bill and its sponsors, and hopefully get it dumped.
Children arent allowed to have juries in other states too. I got told repeatedly during my Juvenile case that children don't have rights. They fucked me good for a miniscule amount of Marijuana. I'm talking, fucking years of my childhood. I don't want to say the state because it might out my identity but I'll give you a hint, its another shithole state that comes to mind when you think of fucking cousins, much like Kentucky. Glad to be out of that part of the country forever now.
Had similar late childhood. Put on probation for weed possession, then would get locked up for every minor infraction. A local police officer would follow me around whenever he saw me, make up excuses for pulling me over, and search my car. Got locked up for 6 months for being 30 minutes late to school once... because I got pulled over on the way to school. I'm guessing there was some kind of graft going on with the probation officers, judges, and detention centers, because they would give out such long sentences for such minor offenses.
Why do we hate our children so? I'm sorry you went through that.
You see, Republicans want to protect children so clearly they cannot be seen by a dangerous jury.
I'm really hoping there's another area of law that says kids can't be put in prison or if they are then they do need a jury.
But realistically I'm waiting for the whole parenting responsibility of the state argument to drop.
