How the justice system criminalizes the poor through fines and fees

1. Wow! Love this guy. Bringing awareness. Need more people like him. Godspeed. March on!!

2. this is how the system is set up. it was much worse for the slaves and those that lived under jim crow laws. slavery was NEVER abolished. it was moved over to the 13th amendment.

3. Wow he is right. Black or white people who is poor we have to pay more.

4. Nothing new

5. Sad story. Excellent job. Bunch of crooks

6. Ratio

7. Definitely in Cincinnati, OH Lockland, OH puts people in jail if they do not bring the fees for ANY fine and fees to court the same day! There are many municipalities that have done this for YEARS! The poor do not have a chance in the legal system!

8. Can't pay the fine…don't do the crime. It's not rocket science. Idiots.

9. I'm still struggling from these practices

10. darrell brooks agrees

11. It's A Dirty Shame That Won't
    Go Away…

12. Don’t break the law, easy solution instead of blaming others for failure in accountability.
    Today’s it’s fully acceptable by the left to blame everyone but yourself.

13. If not for fees and fines I’m 100 percent sure I wouldn’t be in debt right now

14. Who is the truly guilty about US is passing for all this things like high criminalities, high inflation, shortage food, instability about the future for us and our children and others things. Who is the responsible for all these things? This is my questions for you Joe Biden followers.

15. Oh wow ya right wow really please

16. Invest in Bitcoin and make amazing profits within 5-7 trading days, ask me how now.

17. When fines are almost more than the bail was for the murderer who ran over his baby mama and is a repeat felon then goes and kills 6 people and injuries 60 more with his car…we have a problem

18. 2many poor people right now= whip OUT EVIL.

19. I will sell you my story for the safety of my cat. I'm Serious. 911

20. If you can't do the time. Don't do the crime.

21. Unless they smash-and-grab at Department Stores of their choice in California

22. Can’t speak for anyone else but if you live in places like Chicago and feel terrorized by violent, robbing idiots who find guns easier than jobs, little sympathy exists for folks who just commit crimes because they choose to. So, if they get caught doing something else, good riddance.

23. Every. Day. And, steal your cars for no reason and you lose your job and can't afford new transportation.

24. It's quite obvious that the American criminal justice system is doing a terrible job on crime. Lots of money is spent and crime keeps going up. Woke is making the problem worse.

25. America's criminal justice system is rotten to the core.

26. And punishes you for mental illness

27. 💯🖕🏽ABC. Everyone is responsible for their own poor decisions irrespective of their station in life.

28. Tony messenger would be quick to call the police to have some poor person locked up if they were driving through his rich neighborhood making a ruckus. Now he wants to benefit from those poor people by writing a book and selling it on ABC. Miss me with your fake outrage, write a book teaching those poor people how to uplift themselves into your neighborhood, bet you won’t.

29. Capitalism creates Wealth gaps, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. When poverty gets too bad, people will commit crime to survive. You can get a gun to "defend" yourself from crime, but the same system which allows guns also allows capitalism. We can end both these nightmares. Once everyone has universal Income and free Healthcare, there will be no reason to commit crime, no reason to own a gun. All the decent countries have adopted this form of government, it's only in America, an A-HOLE Nation where everything is made to victimize you. "Screw your neighbor and take all his stuff," is the American Way. American women do this thru divorce. It's no surprise that 1 out of 2 marriages ends in Divorce.

    If we had a Democratic Socialist country we wouldn't have to worry about guns, religion, or abortion ban bills.

    ☑️ Democratic Socialism is
    the Choice of a Civilized Society.
    💥 United We Stand
    * Free Healthcare
    * Free Education
    * Cancel Student Debt
    * Universal Income
    * Pro-Choice
    * No Firearms!!!
    * No Capitalism

    💥 Divided We Fall
    * Capitalism causes a Wealth gap,
    – Rich get richer
    – Poor get poorer.
    – Poverty leads to Crime
    – Crime leads to Mass Incarceration
    which leads to Slavery under a different name, and then History repeats itself

    The decent Democratic Socialist
    countries:
    💥🇨🇦Canada,
    💥🇩🇰Denmark,
    💥🇫🇮Finland,
    💥🇫🇷France,
    💥🇩🇪Germany,
    💥🇬🇱Greenland,
    💥🇮🇸Iceland,
    💥🇮🇹Italy,
    💥🇳🇱Netherlands,
    💥🇳🇴Norway,
    💥🇸🇪Sweden,
    💥🇬🇧UK.
    (Unlike 🇺🇲)
    The underlying message of Democratic Socialism is if you benefit the people, they will benefit the Country, you advance the people and the People advance the Country.

    Capitalism is the rule of Conservative tyranny, it promotes Slavery and inequality. Which is where America is right now.

    Obviously the current system ain't working, but Democratic Socialism can change all that.

    Wouldn't need so many Police if Capitalism didn't cause Wealth Gaps.
    But policing and incarceration are big business. Keep the threat of dangerous people real and people will support both. But we have the power to make a better world, of course, there will be compromise.

    The fact that racial inequality is perpetuated by the systemic racism embedded in the ✝️ Cult (Slave verses of the Bible: Exodus 21, Leviticus 25:44-46; Time magazine online: "How Christian Slaveholders Used the Bible to Justify Slavery") and consequently, America's Law, Black Folks never had a chance to succeed like White Christian Nationalists have, which is why many can't afford a decent attorney whenever White people accuse them of BS. Many can't find work or pay child support. Truly disgusting how Capitalism is destroying lives.

    America is the only Capitalistic country in the world. America has 5% of the population of the world, yet has 25% of the world's incarceration. Lowering the standard for getting a felony conviction allows them to make normal people into felons.

    According to the 13th Amendment, there's a loophole which allows slavery to exist. Felons are no different than Slaves, albeit it was originally meant as a form of Indentured Servitude until the end of sentence, but because Criminal Records are used in employment and housing background checks, many are denied and are forced to turn to jobs like BS contract jobs that are set up for failure or sex work.

    Within a penitentiary people are forced to do work or they're severely punished just like slaves. America's capitalistic goal is to enslave everyone.

30. The democRATS soft on crime and no bail policies are what’s causing all the smash-and-grab robberies and rise in crime. It emboldens criminals to commit more crimes when they get arrested and get released the next day for a misdemeanor crime

31. This notes for you.
    Ask politicians and judges and cops why they toss nonviolent people into locked rooms with giant hulking steroidal weightlifting afterlife professing sociopaths called range runners.
    Ask em again until they respond.

    Homelessness frostbite, starvation, violence, pandemics and pollution, never produces afterlives, and stockholm syndrome affected people are going to require our help to overcome their cognitive disconnections from reality.

    We must boost automation and end homelessness and starvation on a global scale.

    Get into guitars NOT guns!! 🎸
    Value violins NOT violence!! 🎻

    The arts and sciences are everything, for, everyone, everywhere.

32. It's extremely tragic. 💔

33. Class is the root of all oppression. We need to center it as a country. It's why you'll never see corporations and institutions upholding and embracing workers unionizing and keeping wages at a ratio of 40:1 with CEO's and workers.

34. My husbands friend got a DUI and received fines that he can't pay. He doesn't drive but he used his Drivers licence for ID but now his Drivers Licence has expired and he can't renew it until he pays the fines he can't afford to pay. We have a Covid passport system here and he's been fully vaccinated but we have to show ID to go along with it but he can't get ID because he can't pay the fine. Now he can't even participate in society without his COVID passport.

35. first of all drug prohibition should end completely we shouldn't be letting out violent offenders to make room for nonviolent drug uses were their only crime only hurts them. with that out of the way violent crimes need to be punished way more harshly. alcohol prohibition lead to the same kinds of things nowadays everyone recognizes how bad and wrong it was its time we make these types of crimes history. notice most of the areas hit the worst by these kind of disparities are big democrat cities. time to vote for different policies. lets go for freedom. libertarian party seems not too bad. republicans and democrats are both garbage. time to do something new fellow americans time to wake up.
