Mess with the bull, you got the horns baw!! BAW!!!!



What are the crimes?

A poor black man will go to jail for weed bc he can't afford a semi-competent lawyer.


Plus, the legal system needs revamping. A lawyer will sacrifice a client, usually black minor offense with small jail time, to garner favor.

So a poor white man won't go to jail cause he can't afford a lawyer?

And also if they are poor why are they buying weed. Shouldn't they be buying food or saving money to attempt to better their situation? They know it's illegal and are assuming a risk that they may get caught and incarcerated. How is it the fault of the police?

Race aside, should the court say " oh you can't afford a super-attorney. Nevermind, get out of here, we're all good"?



You could just not break the law instead
