Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
It is disappointing that the Government will go to great length to arrest and prosecute hundreds of citizens exercising their constitutional rights. But, it does not have balls to go after any of the greedy wall street bankers who robbed the country.
Which part of the Constitution says you are allowed to block the street?
(The crime the people committed is not particularly serious, but it's not a Constitutionally-protected right to block the Brooklyn Bridge.)
As for the Wall Street bankers, who do you want to prosecute for what?
As for the Wall Street bankers, who do you want to prosecute for what?
Those that committed it, for fraud. It's an open-and-shut case if the power existed to prosecute it.
if that were true, why are their customers not suing them for fraud? seems like they'd win a lot of money pretty easily if it were an open and shut case.
As for the Wall Street bankers, who do you want to prosecute for what?
Executives of banks and mortgage companies engaged in fraudulent practices that led to the financial crisis. Instead of pressing criminal charges, they were rewarded by the Government.
At least some of these practices were "encouraged" if not mandated by govt regulators. Are you planning to punish them? If not, what's the justification for punishing the folks following their orders?
I think it would be more appropriate to direct your anger toward the government in equal or greater measure, instead.
