Beam me up Scotty...Someone help me understand why this is...
RI - another rat train wreck

What about the dog?
100 arrests. Some or most have gotta be drug related. Trump is taking care of the mules in the Caribbean. When it slows down to a trickle that will be the time to take it to the American people to get tough on its usage. The threat of 6 months in jail is all that’s necessary.
Rather than give people like her the benefit of the doubt, give society the benefit of certainty!
I heard of a J6 guy who wasn’t even present but was arrested for rioting and several others who were put in solitary without a lawyer for a long time.
A first offense story of an inebriated man inside his own house:
Homeowner Theodore Wafer in Michigan whose shotgun went off accidentally when he was shaking with fear from a screaming, mentally deranged woman demanding in the middle of the night to be let into his house. She was later said to be incoherent, unstable and couldn’t remember her own name.
He is in prison for decades. Several neighbors had been recently been fooled by teens who had a young woman give a front door sob story while they were in back breaking a window to do a home invasion. His car has been vandalized repeatedly. Sad, sad story.
News summary story:
Second-degree murder in the 2013 killing of Renisha McBride, with a judge ordering the same sentence after a manslaughter conviction was dropped due to double jeopardy, meaning he serves 15-30 years for murder plus 2 years consecutively for felony firearm. He was resentenced in June 2022 and has been in prison since his 2014 conviction, having served over eight years by then.
Judge: If I see you in my courtroom another 100 times, young woman, I may just put you in prison. Sorry, I was just angry there. You can go. Case dismissed.
This Shiite-head woman belongs in jail
I’m worried about the dogs too. They don’t desrve to go the the animal shelter unless it’s a no-kill shelter. We have one here that gets tons of support from citizens.
Two local cases.
An older man driver with is wife in the car drove at high speed into the Walgreen’s drive thru window after he hit an incline the driveway. I had to use a Walgreen’s three miles away for about 3 months for the time they closed down 1/3 of the store for rebuilding. Part of the building collapsed.
Another man drove his car onto the sidewalk in a residential
neighborhood and killed a teenage girl about to graduate from high school. Parents decided to release a photo of her laughing with friends to show she was a human being and not a solemn yearbook photographer’s version as other victims of recent crimes looked.

People learn what you teach them.
This woman was taught that there are no consequences for breaking the law over and over again.
Is she a DIMocRAT state rep or state finance director for the DIMs?
The Justice System today exists to protect criminals from the righteous anger of law-abiding citizens.
Good people live in fear of criminals and live in fear of running afoul of the Justice System which will show no mercy to law abiding citizens.
I wonder what the average crime rate is of people after, say, their 20th arrest. Or their 50th. Could it possibly be that it is any higher than the crime rate of people with 0-2 arrests?
That was a lot of paperwork work by the justice system just to get one innocent person killed.
Probably connected and has money.
How nice that Godbout was transported to Westerly Hospital for medical evaluations while Mr. Macleod was being transported to the morgue.
In a just world, the ambulance would have transported Godbout to the gas chamber.
And get nothing done. Can't wait to find out that she likes to take her go-fast boat out into the ocean every few weeks or so.
