Hey, FBI... Can I get a warning on my next felony?

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Get away with the first two, and you earn a warning, is that how law enforcement works now at the DOJ?

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm fantasizing about what I'd use my mulligan on. No violence, maybe like a big drug score?

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 101 points 2 months ago

AND YA BETTER NOT DO IT AGAIN OR ILL GET REEEAAAL GRUMPY!

The American Justice system is so embarrassingly lenient to the rich. How are you guys not rioting every single day?

[-] LutefiskPizza@fedia.io 59 points 2 months ago

Because there is no social safety net. Rioting could lead to arrest and job loss. Resulting in loss of home, medical insurance, etc.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 35 points 2 months ago

That’s… sad and disturbing.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Because the DOJ would throw me in jail

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 66 points 2 months ago

Billionaires get warnings lol.

Poor people get prison rape.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 2 months ago

And their hired thugs that get caught get Epsteined.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

Buy drugs to enjoy in your free time: jail
Buy votes to sway the country and its laws: warning

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

He probably spends thousands a month on Ketamine... so I don't know if that's necessarily true.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Ketamine is my drug of choice, so I believe I can say with almost certainty Elon does not. Because if he did, he'd see how stupid he is and how wrong his decisions are. And what kind of destruction he creates to the world and society.

Since he's narcissistic AF, believes he owns the world, the law doesn't apply to him and is better then everyone else I believe his drug of choice is cocain.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

His drug of choice is ketamine, it's well known, he isn't shy about it. His friends have said something like "he microdoses daily and macrodoses often at parties"

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Then his dealer is fucking with him 😂

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -2 points 2 months ago

Musk didn’t buy votes. If he bought anything, then he bought petition signatures.

[-] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 months ago

If I were to break federal law I would get indicted not a warning

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago

Sounds like you're either not rich enough, not white enough, or both.

[-] tpyoman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Rules for thee not for me.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 months ago
[-] Chozo@fedia.io 26 points 2 months ago

The DOJ is not "The American People".

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

The DOJ = The Billionaire Oligarchy

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 28 points 2 months ago

Can I get a warning for murdering?

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago

They should double-warn him. These limp-wristed single warnings aren't doing the trick. Maybe even triple-dog-warn him for good measure—no tag-backs.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago
[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It's the us. If you're rich you get warned

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

"Stop or I will yell 'stop' again!"

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

yeah i know. needs to change

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 18 points 2 months ago

We should try asking politely if he'd care to consider the law, if it pleases him to do so, in the future.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

We didn't like the term kangaroo court so we just stopped going to court.

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

If Musk was Chinese he'd be in gitmo by now.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

No. That's if he's Arab. Chinese get interned.

Or if China doesn't like them either, "returned to the homeland" where they'll be disappeared forever in one of their, "put them here until trial" black holes where people go in but they don't come out (without the right bribes/political influence).

[-] overload@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

Unbelievable
