“So, a group called The Satanic Temple successfully sued to be allowed to distribute coloring books in elementary schools. Sorry about that whole piling rocks on you until you died thing. We were still figuring this liberty and freedom stuff out.”

Fact that we can actually affect those in prison don't is the real issue here.

A good friend of mine spent two years in jail because he had weed on him one night. It was ridiculous.

So was he like poor or something? Cuz that's the crazy shit I'd expect to hear from Iran or Malaysia.

He never owned a business, so what do the police care?

The police just arrest, the lawyers and judges are who lock people up.

Fun fact, only 19 people were killed during the Salem Witch Trials, five of whom were men.

In comparison, witch trials in Europe between 1560 and 1670 resulted in over 40.000 deaths.
