the naked evil here is so blatant and unapologetic, if you watched a movie about this, you'd call it heavy-handed. and yet.
edit:
The following year, Rutherford County violated federal law 191 times by keeping kids locked up too long, according to a story later published by The Tennessean. By law, children held for such minor acts as truancy were to appear before a judge within 24 hours and be released no more than a day after that. The newspaper interviewed Davenport, who estimated half those violations occurred because a kid had cursed her or someone else. For cursing, she said, she typically sentenced kids to two to 10 days in jail. “Was I in violation?” she said. “Heck, yes. But am I going to allow a child to cuss anyone out? Heck, no.”
This woman belongs under the jail. Aww teehee, traumatizing children because they were mean to me! I'm such an angel!
10 days in prison for cursing? What fucking insane Nazis are running the us?
Before then, honestly. The Nazis learned a lot of things from the US when they were initially on the rise in the 30s.
I mean we literally invited them over after the war ended. Before that the people running the us merely agreed with the Nazis, rather than being Nazis themselves.
Thank you for your condescending tone though
What is the point of this website if you're just going to be a prick to your fellow leftists? Go back to reddit
relax dude. It was a joke. You have a cool username.
The number that stuck out for me was:
My friend's wife works in juvenile court, and she is livid over this story on Facebook. The average rate for sentencing a juvenile to jail/prison is less than 10% nationwide. The fact that this county wasn't flagged for being 5x the national average is astonishing.
J.B.#2, the 12-year-old boy, spent two nights in the detention center, court records show. While there, he was placed in solitary confinement as punishment for standing at his cell’s window, a lawsuit would later allege.
WALL. WALL FOR EVERY FUCKING PRISON GUARD
The mods over at :reddit-logo: apparently removed this from r/news. go figure.
Well it's not about Jan. 6th, or the evils of Gommunist Chyna so it's not worth learning about

I’m pretty sure there’s a Supreme Court ruling that says Sheriffs are allowed to set priorities in enforcement at their discretion, so the enforcement of any given law is largely up the local Sheriff and what the voting populace will accept from them
Edit: and of course with funding pressures that mostly vary by state, but those aren’t normally tied to stats on cases cleared
Miles prayed out loud for the kids to be protected and for God to bring peace and understanding. Then he buckled the fourth graders into a patrol car and drove off.
:liberalism:
gulag for every motherfucker who ever espoused "tough love" for children

In Rutherford County, Davenport still runs juvenile court, making $176,000 a year.
:agony-consuming:
How conservatives can claim to be champions of freedom while supporting shit like this without the cognitive dissonance breaking them, I'll never know.
On the radio, Davenport says she has been “blessed” with an extensive history in law enforcement: “I was trained well in 17 years by different law enforcement agencies.” As a juvenile court judge, she says, she can spot “subtle signs” of gang activity, “wearing something to the right or to the left, or a color here or a color there.”
Her description of her job history doesn’t always match employment records.
Rutherford County elected Davenport to the newly created job of juvenile court judge. Her opponent, a major in the sheriff’s department, was later charged with sex crimes against minors and, in a plea deal, got probation. Davenport has not had another opponent since.

My hatred for these monsters is endless.
Liberals:
bad people are ruining a good system!
the good system:
so what we do is we keep people in a cycle of poverty through racialized oppression and then we kidnap their children when they can’t keep up with everything or turn to substance abuse
It seems like every day I kick over another log and discover another nest of vermin. Doesn't it get exhausting
Yeah I gotta calm down this one got me fucking good. Gonna go stretch or something and breathe Jesus fuck
This shit fills me with impotent rage and idk what to do about it.
These parents just get beatdown so hard by injustice they can't even turn to vigilantism because they know it would fuck over their families more than just dealing with it.
Also this lady is an elected judge but still wins elections even though she should be thrown in solitary herself
And the pedo got a lighter sentence than any of the children in the article. Did you catch that?
You would think literally anyone else but a pedo could run and win but I guess not
