I’ve been present at sentencings and guilty pleas and I’ve never heard a judge or prosecutor specifically explain that the result of the plea or sentence might be that you will not be able to vote.

I mean, MAYBE we can say he didn’t try to hurt the other player, but there’s no way on earth moving your shoulder into someone’s legs while they are in the air for no reason is “unintentional”.

The real hero of this video is Very Calm Mustache Man

So you’re saying that the life that flashed before his eyes was not worthy of a plaque in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Great point! I hadn’t even thought of that. This story is so infuriating. Do you know how many wealthy people/snowbird types/anyone who has multiple residences in multiple states fuck up and technically commit voter fraud? Are those people getting 5 years in prison? Is Steve Bannon going to get five years in the clink…

Citation please.

Her sentence is harsher than that of the guy who killed someone and fled, or that woman who killed someone and fled, or the affluenza teen who killed FOUR people and fled. All Texas.

ATTEMPTED to vote. ATTEMPTED. The system worked and her vote wasn’t counted. She did not vote in the election and she gets five years for trying to do her civic duty. Jesus Christ. I hope she can appeal, though Texas being Texas this could be a waste of time and money. This poor woman. I don’t mean to be fatalistic,…

Five years of prison sounds insane for a non-violent, unintentional crime, even if she had a prior conviction.

Maria Ortega, a Mexican national with a green card, was given an eight-year sentence after falsely claiming she was a US citizen on her ballot. ... According to the Post, she voted as a Republican in both 2012 and 2014.

“I don’t think I’ll ever vote again. That’s being honest. I’ll never vote again.”

There’s some truth to this, but he’s always been an unrepentant racist.

Any other jezzie lawyers sign up for lawyers.com? Our small firm signed up the first year that I started private practice 4 years ago. The leads were people wanting free legal advice and never led to a paying client. We also got the occasional 3 page emails explaining how everyone was out to get them. I was so glad…

They also plan to use Bernie Madoff in the future. I would totally call them, wouldn’t you? A Dubai shoot sounds so legit.

I mean it sure helped that the justice system let her off over and over for her many crimes, other people seem to have a harder time overcoming these factors for obvious reasons.

Jezebel has directly stated that it’s not a feminist website. It’s “for women,” which is different.

I totally get what you’re saying and I’m part of the “leave Britney alone!” crew (love me some Brit Brit) but I took the article as snarking more on the photoshop than Britney.

I personally don’t care if she’s had work done if it makes her happy and wasn’t something she was pressured to get. On the other hand, I do think it’s important to look at the role of Photoshop on ads and whatever. Not only does it make women unrecognizable at times, but it also contributes to the pressure of a…

When did feminism start to mean you had to love every woman and never ever say “Gurl, what happened to your face?” without having to take a feminism purity test? Cuz I’m old as fuck and there’s plenty of women I don’t like. Can I still has feminism or is my card revoked?
