Kinda fucked up that you’re having such a wonderful time at the expense of others mistakes, pain and suffering. And what’s really tucked up it that YOU don’t even know or publish the whole situation regarding each case. You make people out to be dumb criminals. Dont get me wrong some are criminals and every so often an individual gets wrapped up with b.s false allegations and publicly humiliated for something that they disnt even do. Case to xase is different. Some get charges dismissed, others are stuck with that scar for life. But when a mistake or foul is made by someone on the other side of the field (l.e.o’s, court personnel, public pretenders, etc that’s not publicly corrected or even publicized.
You don’t know the end result of the cases. You’re just poking fun at people. Pretty much you’re bullying and publicly humiliating people of the community. Don’t shit where you sleep…. ya know.. ???
