The thing that sticks out to me, that no one seems to be talking about, is this:
"...this week oversaw a sentence that included probation and requiring Quantavious to write a two-page report about Kobe Bryant."
He's charged with urinating outside. Already stupid and ridiculous. But then the judge assigns homework, which... What? And then it's about Kobe Bryant which has what to do with urinating outside? Why Kobe Bryant?? Is there a public urination charge in his past I don't know about? Did the judge ask "who's your favorite person?" and assign homework based on that?
It's a dumb thing to be concerned about, but it's somehow even weirder to me than the rest of it.
Read in white news lady voice:
court recording plays
Anybody here ever heard a 10-year- old use the term "public urination"?
Anyone?
What the actual fuck? That is someone completely devoid of empathy.
Edit: ok I see now this is not an actual conversation that happened. Lol.
The fact that it could've happened is, in itself, a testament to the fact that we live in one of the societies of all time
The United States is definitely a country that exists and does things.
Sadly it also doesn't do enough things.
But also sadly, it does some things far too much.
I just think the article doesn't give enough detail. At the same time, I also don't think it matters really what the person writes about as long as it's some sort of topic that has to do with being a good community member.
It's all bullshit fake news. Don't take it seriously.
