it feels inconsistent and I don’t know how to defend the fact that I’m against the death penalty, but at the same time I have a firm conviction that if you own slaves, then you should die
no exceptions, no bullshit, owning slaves equals death and that’s it
The death penalty ™️ is a power given to the legal system. Which should be opposed. Some times people just need to go though. That is different
well i have good news: they will die
I feel similarly about being a prison abolitionist. I don’t think prison should exist, but a part of me is happy they are there…
Prisons should be rehabilitation centers in practice, not these crimes against humanity in the US. However there is no rehabilitating the couple in the OP
Sure but it’s probably more productive to sentence them to a lifetime of forced labor.
Death is an escape. IMO if you’re guilty of a heinous crime, you should live a long life in solitary where you can reflect on what you did.
They adopted 5 black children, called them derogatory names, kept them as slaves in horribly inhumane conditions jfc
Good parents struggle to adopt a single child and these monsters adopted 5.
Five words: The good-ol’-boy system.
Everyone is willing to go around the rules as long as you’re white and an asshole.
31 counts!? How did they keep getting more kids?
Skiddly looking middle age methed out crackers: “Y’all got any more of them black childrens?”
CPS: “Sure do!”
They adopted five kids. I’m not sure of the details but I’m pretty sure the charges were multiplied for slavery, child abuse, child endangerment, etc.
Enslaving black children? That’s the wall for you.
I think we can all agree we are slavery abolitionists before anything else and end of the barrel meets forehead type of abolitionists.
they should be worked to death scrubbing sewers in black communities
So they are in trouble for impersonating and officer?
Long live the firing squad!
Holy shit! Someone was watching Atlanta too close to the Lathe. Reality is always more disgusting and farcical, isn’t it?
If you’re talking about the episode Three Slaps, that was actually based on a real event. (Cw suicide, abuse)
Toxicology results showed that Jennifer’s blood alcohol content was over the legal limit at the time of the crash,[11][35] and that both Sarah and two of the children had diphenhydramine in their systems.[35] Sarah had made Google searches before the crash, inquiring about the lethality of Benadryl and the nature of death by drowning.[34] Her searches also included “No-kill shelters for dogs”; the family’s two dogs were found inside the Hart family home.[41] The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department officially closed the case and released declassified records in 2019.[42]
Holy shit, they killed the kids and spared the dogs. They cared more about the dogs. Absolutely satanic.
“We were once a family” is a good book about that case. It’s not true crime slop, it digs into the systemic issues and racism of the foster care system and how it allows stuff like that to happen.
perhaps some kind of “Saw” style scenario could be arranged for these uhh *checks notes* “people”
Didn’t this exact situation happen a few months ago? wtf
In my line of voluntary work I’ve come across a car of a disgusting couple (a priest and his wife) that applied as a foster-home (right term? Not adopting but taking care of a kid until it is adopted) and got many kids all the time. They fed them bare minimum so they don’t starve, minimum on rags from local charity and treated them like utter garbage. And why? State pays per child in foster-homes. So kids have it well. They made a good living off of it and fed scraps to the orphans.
Oh and…they’re still free and doing it. Only one kid managed to flee but didn’t dare say something. They were, of course, bullied to STFU. Also nothing much would happen anyway. Child abuse is not so much of a bad thing here, law-wise. So it seems.
Homo homini Lupus est. I hate people.
