8. Mercy is only for MAGAs.

“I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life,” wrote Mr. Vance

It's not 'stupid social media activity', it's the racism.

Where have I heard this before?

Widespread outrage has erupted over a California judge’s decision to give a former Stanford University swimmer a six-month jail sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. Critics are blasting the decision as far too lenient.

Prosecutors had asked that Brock Turner be sentenced to six years in prison for the January 2015 assault.

“A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him,” Persky said. “I think he will not be a danger to others.”

In 2016, the Supreme Court [...] justices reiterated that “a lifetime in prison is a disproportionate sentence for all but the rarest of children, those whose crimes reflect ‘irreparable corruption.’” (The legal term of art is “permanent incorrigibility,” which allows judges to sound like they’re debating whether Tom Sawyer should be sent to bed without dinner.) In light of that additional ruling, Jones again appealed his sentence. This time his case made it all the way to the Supreme Court. But the court ruled that Jones, now 32, should stay in prison for the rest of his life without the possibility of parole.

The justice who wrote that opinion condemning a man to life in prison for a crime he had committed before he finished high school was the same justice who was accused of trying to rape a girl while he was in high school: Brett Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh, you’ll remember, asked to be judged by the man he’s become—the high school girls’ basketball coach who hires women as his law clerks—not the beer-loving alleged attempted high school rapist he was. He argued, in angry, sneering tones, that his youthful indiscretions (the ones he admitted to, at least) should not bar him from getting a lifetime job. But having been gifted that lifetime power, he turned around and argued that Jones’s youth was no bar at all to a lifetime of imprisonment.

Sure. Let's not ruin a young white male's future just because they made a bad decision and sexually assaulted someone, or posted racist ideals. They didn't know what they were doing, they were in their twenties for goodness sake... You can't expect someone to be responsible for everything they say or do. Sometimes there's a hot lady friend, and an open changing stall, and you grab 'em by whatever you want. How can a man possibly be responsible for their thoughts, impulses, and actions in their late forties, my god.
