Louisiana mother served 17 years for murder for feeding her baby cows milk in the wake of the devastation & lack of resources after Katrina is paroled. The people unfairly imprisoned simply for trying to survive after being abandoned without resources is THE Katrina discussion Image Katrina is discussed so much but what the State did to people trying to survive in the wake of absolute devastation and death is generally left out of the conversation. And those wrongs haven’t been right, they are still going on. This woman has just been serving her 17 years

Remembering the anniversary of my best friend’s cop themed wedding to a cop complete with wedding hashtag #cuffedforlife and LARGE faux mugshots with charged [first date]
booked [engagement]
Sentenced to life [wedding date]

There’s so much more but I’ve blocked it out. Had mini donuts. The colors were blue, of course. At the reception, the groomsmen references themselves as “boyz in blue” and sang (chanted?) “Bad Boys” to a silent room. Yes, they were all cops or in cop school.

Anyway all this seemed like a whole lotta gang activity to me.

I am pretty sure I heard that ranting is therapy so in continuing my self care…

Louisiana’s habitual offender law is one of the harshest in the US. More than 4,100 people in Louisiana are currently serving life without parole sentences as habitual offenders. Shockingly, 40% of… https://t.co/MSlCsxQdU2twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Orleans Judge handed down a life sentence to Keith Kisack for possessing a contraband cellphone in Orleans Parish Prison, a conviction that carries a maximum of 5 years. Kisack was in OPP awaiting trial for a year when deputies conducting a shakedown found a cellphone. A six-person jury deliberated for less than 15 minutes before convicting Kisack. The DA then under the habitual offender law enhanced the possible sentence to 20 to life.

Our DAs office is outsourcing charging decisions (who gets charged with a crime and what crime(s) they are charged with) to personal injury attorneys at Morris Bart. That’s all. That’s the tweet twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Needless to say it’s not going well

People’s arefusal to even marginally risk themselves for the “right thing” is truly astonishing every time. Even with no risk, being vocal is too much for so many of y’all. Disappointing af Person: sees right thing, runs away bc what if I am hurt like this person is being hurt who doesn’t deserve it.

Wild.

Larry Price Jr., 51, didn’t have $100 to post bail. He was well known as being houseless with severe intellectual disabilities and mental health issues so he was immediately placed in solitary confinement. For over a year he languished in solitary pre-trial because of $100. Police knew he was houseless, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, hallucinations, and a developmental disability that significantly impaired his intellectual and adaptive functioning. Yet he was denied medication, left in complete isolation w/ wellness checks routinely ignored

This is a constant part of plea negotiations, a strategy is to accept it’ll be a felony plea but negotiate for a crime that Carrie’s less stigma, not enhanceable, less punitive miscellaneous requirements like registry, Despite the criminal elements not remotely being satisfied. An example of this is, the prosecutor being willing to amend theft to criminal trespass. Or battery of a police officer amended to illegal possession of stolen things.
Illegal carrying of weapons to criminal damage to property. Access device fraud to Disturbing the peace

Misconception I had as a baby lawyr joining public interest arena: bc I was going to be fighting for people’s rights that I would be in a workplace surrounded by people who would fight for mine as well. Not necessarily true. And it was a very hard & harsh reality to experience it Unfortunately, the least supportive, most exploitative, shockingly oppressive, and brazenly not adhering to any legal standards work environments I’ve witnessed are public interest environments, particularly public defender offices. Of course there are exceptions.

I honestly can’t wrap my mind around someone really believing this… Willingly ignore that there are laws that are racially discriminatory? Sure. But ACTUALLY believe no laws are. Wild.

It’s weird to rely on a forced office potluck “diversity” social to learn about diversity and different cultures when google exists. You don’t need an office “diversity” potluck for this. So cringe Image This plays out like a terrible episode of the office on diversity, I’m cringing just thinking about it. It’s ok to make friends with coworkers who are different than you, immerse yourself in another culture other than your own, learn and thrive.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for this parish and this sheriff. Same parish sheriff that had deputies threaten and shoot people fleeing from Katrina. Same parish court judge that sentenced a child to 55 year for attempted car theft. The ACLU has been calling on the DOJ to step in for years. Here’s a 2021 article after an ongoing investigation into the Sheriff’s Office found that more than 70% of (the 27% Black population) people who deputies shot at during the past eight years were Black;

If you think the government in some capacity isn’t using this opportunity to police people, you are very naive. The government takes every opportunity whether constitutional or not to access more information on people in the name of “maybe crimes.” This law that creates an unenforceable civil remedy for who knows who for who knows what damages will be used to criminally prosecute people unjustly, mainly BIPOC as they do with every other law. The intent and purpose is not what they say,

This is a chronic thing on Twitter but it’s always so strange that everyone thinks and proceeds as if I am a man.

Clearly, I am a feline. Also, am a “coomer” which is a new thing I learned today bc I think my porn search history shouldn’t be tied to my government issued drivers license stored in a state digital identification app. Which… woah, like super crazy of me.

Ok so a little update from the republic of Louisiana, you cannot evade logging into “Louisiana Wallet” (which is a state run license program/app you have to download, upload pictures of your ID and get verified through the DMV) via torrent or a VPN. Redirected every time Can’t even scroll or access the site at all.

Not only will they retain all of the information but inevitably LA Wallet (bc it’s been a shit show and useless utility from jump) or a third party vendor will be breached leaking all IDs and associated porn history

It’s getting awfully surveillancey in here. Anyone in Louisiana accessing pornhub will now have to link their drivers license or government ID in order to access the site. Under his eye. To clarify, pornhub now requires Louisiana based individuals will be directed to login to a state run program called LA Wallet where the individual would have uploaded pictures of their drivers license to be verified to access the site.

Hello from the surveillance state of Louisiana. People in Louisiana have to use their drivers license to go to pornhub. This is truly wild. Under his eye. It’s going to get worse before it gets better… 😳
