while a woman that has $30 of weed gets 20 years. This country is so fucking fucked up sick and tired of the legal system.

and breaking into homes, stealing cars/boats/planes going across international lines while committing these crimes is good.

he has some mental disorder, alcohol fetus something i read. Im sure its just an excuse to get a shorter sentence, but thats why its short i think. Thats badass that he knew how to operate all the stuff he stole, like a fucking plane

It's not fake, but that man had many, many, many prior infractions over three decades and the judge decided enough is enough. Still, 15 years is a bit much.


And as for Allen, he weaseled out his boss or the mastermind of the fraud, Lee Farkas, to get a lesser sentence himself.

Farkas got 30 years in prison.

The plea deal is understandable but still its kind of ridiculous.

This one time, my friend took 2 marijihuanas and later he turned gay and died of AIDS. But on a more serious note, yeah, the legal system seems pretty fucked up in US and actually everywhere.

That's actually not that surprising in a surprise sort of way....

Virginia is known for the fucked up punishment times for various crimes......

I used to know a bunch of examples, my family lives there, like one was a guy told someone he would take care of them, got sent to jail.....A person that is in prison once out, if they get a speeding ticket in some cases, will go back to prison for the full time they were tried for originally, fucked up shit like that...So of course your example fits right in with virginia haha

This. And I remember the bank robbing homeless story. He is a career criminal with a mile long list of encounters with the law... He got the max sentence for committing another a bank robbery... Totally fair
