“This is so absurd,” said Andelaine Nelson, his mother. “He’s a good kid.… He would have never done this had he not been pushed over the edge.”
I think 20 months is pretty lenient. Fuck this guy. Stupid kid, sure, we all were kids, but like, do drugs or something. Don’t become a spy.

Then-Sheriff Lee Baca defended OIR’s right to do its work, but he also elevated a second-in-command, Paul Tanaka, who belonged to one of the deputy gangs that wreaked havoc in the county jails. After an informant scandal erupted that would eventually send both men to federal prison, Jim McDonnell was elected as sheriff in 2014. As former chief of the Long Beach Police Department, McDonnell was a relative outsider to LASD. But he campaigned on a promise to clean house, and entered with a mandate for reform. (McDonnell, who is now the chief of LAPD, elected not to respond to a request for comment.)

The courts imposed bail conditions on them that prohibited them from associating with each other, returning to their workplaces, or working in any kind of massage business.
The women lived at work, so the bail conditions ended their livelihood, rendered them homeless, and made it illegal for them to seek support from each other.
Policing is a hammer that sees every issue as a nail. It is destructive and harmful when misapplied.
Dentists’ wet dream.

People love us more than ever.
You’re not wrong about that.
No one could have seen this coming. /s
This has no practical effect other than virtue signaling to xenophobic racists. It’s called a dog-whistle.
Very glad I accidentally left the second half of my personal pizza in the fridge at work. That’ll be my lunch tomorrow.
A ton of people who are unhoused work regular jobs by day and sleep in their car by night. 25% is completely plausible to me. You act as though they’re all degenerates.
