Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They do say if you want to commit a crime, do it with a car.

Wow. I wonder if these folks realize that literally the entire point of the government having an exclusive monopoly on violence is so people don't feel the need/permission to take action themselves. Well, shit, get a gun while you still can and protect yourself, because clearly the government won't. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Am I reading this right? It looks like he’s serving 5 years with the 4 days figure being time he served before he got out on bail.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 12 points 7 hours ago

It's a suspended sentence, he won't go to prison uness he violates probation. So he's getting 4 days + probation.

The victim was seriously injured with a fractured pelvis and a puncture wound in her thigh. Emergency responders found her on the ground, in severe pain with “fluid” coming out of their mouth, according to charging documents.

Court documents indicate he will receive credit for spending four days in jail after his arrest, but he has otherwise been out on bond throughout the case

According to the plea, Carr will receive a five-year suspended sentence, which means he will serve no additional jail time.

I never want to hear a single honkey talk about India ever again

lmao I forgot this gem

John P. Carr, 59, agreed to plead no contest to criminal endangerment

I can't tell if virtue signalling how much you hate women, or choosing the lowest possible charge so it sticks. I guess he put the victim in a "criminally endangering" situation by ramming her with his car. And even that didn't stick, a failed state

His name is John P. Carr and this is the image of him at the Cowboys Bar in Great Falls:

this is fucking crazy, this reminds me of Nex Benedict, they've been just literally shouting to the skies for years now that its legal to kill us.

get a fucking gun, now, these people will beat you and break you and WILL get away with it. We need to defend ourselves from them.

transphobes love to claim they are "protecting" (cis) women. and then they do this shit

The prosecutor: "Based upon the way the incident occurred, it looked to me like a guy who was a little under the influence, thought he had it in reverse and he actually had it in drive"

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 35 points 16 hours ago

Prosecutors when hate crime: "I think it was just an honest fuck-up, bro."

Prosecutors when they can pad their resume with a poor person's life over loitering or some bullshit: " I AM THE DEVIL, AND I AM HERE TO DO THE DEVIL'S WORK!!!"

The law isn't being applied inconsistently if you consider who these laws were designed to punish.

[–] kjaeselrek@lemmy.ml 41 points 18 hours ago

Holy shit you weren’t doing a bit they actually fuckin said that

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 70 points 20 hours ago
