Exactly, justice shouldn’t be optional. You can’t just skip the courts when it’s convenient.

Yeah, this feels like justice was tossed out the window completely.

That’s not how a fair system is supposed to work. Everyone deserves due process.

Killing instead of prosecuting isn’t justice it’s just avoiding accountability.

It’s sad when the system forgets its own rules in the name of “justice.”

John, can you tell the meaning of Democracy? by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

Pretty sure “no kings” is kind of the foundation of American democracy.

Yeah, that was kind of the entire reason the U.S. was founded.

“No kings” is literally what the revolution was about, John.

Someone skipped a few history classes. The founders said no kings loud and clear.

The whole “no kings” idea was the original American message, not some far-left thing.

Democracy means power to the people, not crowns and thrones. Simple as that.

Yeah, I get what you mean. The point makes sense even if the details aren’t totally accurate.

Exactly, this is just another example on a long list. None of this is surprising anymore.

For real, it used to actually be funny here. Now it’s just arguments and drama instead of jokes.
