    That’s a weird attitude to take. Do you specifically hate poor people?

      I took it more as a calling out that most public defenders do just churn out plea deals, not as praising them for doing so.

        I had a public defender once and they pushed hard to take a plea, like hard hard. If I had the money for a real lawyer, it would have been in my favor.

        Yup that’s how I meant it, I’m concerned so many people here were willing to believe I was actually advocating for an objective flaw in the system

          I believe it. Reading comprehension is not great overall. Couple that with folks that like being angry, and you’ll have people responding to whatever interpretation makes them angry, even if it isn’t close to what was said.

          Almost like tone doesn’t come across in written form for all the people reading it, maybe we should develop a form of tonal punctuation to show satire in forums like this.

            The interrobang is purportedly for indicating sarcasm, though I and other people generally only use it as a silly “?!” ligature.

            Personally, I still believe that if satire can’t be detected, either it’s shitty satire, or your audience is too dense to understand it even if they recognized it.

      I didn’t design the system nor do I like it, just saying I could easily manage what they’re currently doing without passing the bar
