Ah Justice. (a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
submitted 1 year ago by clevelandohio
[–]Andross01 33 points34 points35 points 1 year ago
I'm really annoyed that this keeps getting recirculated. The CEO cooperated with authorities and helped to convict the primary culprit, Lee Farkas, who was sentenced to 30 years. The homeless guy, if I'm not mistaken, already had a significant criminal record, and it was first degree robbery, meaning he either had or implied he had a deadly weapon and intent to use it. There's obviously more to it, and maybe there's something that could be said for the homeless man "turning" himself in, but as is, this is grossly misrepresented and doesn't do anything to prove something about the disparity between the rich and the poor.
[–]psulli -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Hey and I bet the CEO was white, too. That never hurts in this country, either.
[–]Robbuffet 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
So was the guy he gave up....who got 30 years.
[–]matheusgr 38 points39 points40 points 1 year ago
This was posted one month ago. Submission. Some nice comments there, I agree specially with this one: it's not about the money.
[–]Aschebescher 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago
He could've gotten between 3 and 40 years. Still, it would've been nice for the judge to give him closer to 3 given the circumstances.
I agree with that. He regretted what he did and turned himself in, so why not be merciful with him?
[–]khrak 32 points33 points34 points 1 year ago*
Homeless man awarded 15 years of meals, shelter, and healthcare for just $100? Sounds like that man just turned $100 into $500,000.
[–]Clown_Vomit 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
I came here to say that, I've read lots of stories of homeless people doing stupid things just to get arrested and be fed. Better than freezing to death in the streets.
[–]resutidder 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
There's a building called Xanadu in New Jersey that I've been referring to as Clown Vomit for years. I thought you should know.
[–]Clown_Vomit 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I'm going to buy it.

Perhaps not, but you and I both know it's not just "meals, shelter and healthcare".
[–]Donitsu 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago
Not to say it's a cakewalk, but if you spend your time avoiding people and trouble you usually end the day the same way you went in.
[–]mikeskiuk -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
tossing the salad?
[–]deadthoughts 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
That's only if you're lucky enough to get a job in the kitchen.
[–]qazz 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
"Tossing salad"| I don't think that means, what you think it means.
[–]Thirsteh -10 points-9 points-8 points 1 year ago*
Edit: You usually don't end "the day" (a prison stay) the same way you went in (psychically or physically).
[–]hardcorr -9 points-8 points-7 points 1 year ago
[–]Thirsteh -7 points-6 points-5 points 1 year ago
Yeah. Because you leave prison in the same shape you came in. ಠ_ಠ
[–]Donitsu -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Note: "the day". I still give people dirty looks when I'm eating.
[–]hardcorr -6 points-5 points-4 points 1 year ago
I was making a joke about how that already happened in this thread, chillax
[–]Thirsteh -9 points-8 points-7 points 1 year ago
[–]WarPhalange 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
People are downvoting you. I guess they think prison isn't all that bad? Yeah. Those people are morons.
[–]qazz 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
It depends Canada has dam nice prisons that are not -40 in winter like behind the dumpster is. In some places homelessness is very deadly and the prisons are very "humane"
[–]Donitsu -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
That guy's life isn't going to be much worse off, if at all. He'll be put on a block with guys who did similar shit.
[–]easterlingman 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
From the unsourced anecdotes floating through my head, i remember a prison dude telling me that cultural groups will band together and rape members of the same race, but not other races. This was used as justification for neo nazi groups in jail, a way of not getting raped quite as much.
[–]constipated_HELP 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Spoken like someone who's never been homeless.
[–]orchdork7926 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
A $500,000 that he'll receive a pretty bill for right as he walks out the door...
[–]khrak 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
He stole $100 because he was homeless and starving. What are they going to take from him?
[–]Robbuffet 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
As he returns to the streets where they will NEVER find him again.

15 years of looking over his shoulder... with the possibility of getting murdered, raped and mentally fucked up. :/
[–]khrak 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago
Ya, because it's not like murder the murder rate in prisons is lower than practically every major city in the US or anything...
Movie Prison != Real Prison

Oh well, Sorry, I was just looking at the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, not nearly as high quality evidence as an unsupported internet anecdote!

[–]Rurikar 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago
Watching too many movies dude.
[–]Crystal_Cuckoo 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
The possibility of murder is admittedly a little overboard, but do you deny that prison rape ever occurs?
[–]landshark9 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
What? People get murdered in prison. Probably not any more that where this guy was coming from, but still.
[–]TheDentite 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
The truth is he's probably in way more danger of being murdered and mentally fucked up living on the street, depending on the city. The life of a homeless person is really very rough and dangerous.
[–]Howisdiscool 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
This might help you out.
[–]jyoon86 -4 points-3 points-2 points 1 year ago
and don't forget all the sweet benefits like prison rape, beating, stabbing and 23 hour lock down.
[–]OugaBuga 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
Ah repost.
[–]necroforest 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Ctrl-Ffffffuuuuu
[–]minimii 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago
The sentencing disparity is due to the nature of the crime (fraud vs first degree robbery) not the amount stolen.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Still its a crazy disparity people lost 3b and some guy lost 100 dollars and maybe a traumatic experience related to it but come on 3b deserves more than 40 months.
[–]Neebat 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I just figured the rich guy didn't need a place to live as badly as the homeless guy. The judge was being kind.
[–]pkcs11 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
This is more than likely due to a prior record.
Fraud carries a 5 year Prison sentence. A lenient judge could easily sentence 40 months Jail. (Prison time is never expressed in terms of months, and generally is expressed as a range {zero to X}).
Whereas the guy getting 15 for robbery likely had a prior record. If a gun was used then he got the federal mandatory sentence plus additional time for his criminal history.
[–]macaronie 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Not to mention the guy who committed fraud probably had an awesome lawyer team behind him
[–]delkarnu 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
and he wasn't the main guy, but made a deal to get the main guy 30 years in prison.

[–]_Goose_ 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
The reality of the justice system is terrible. There is also a reality that this homeless man is now being fed 3 meals a day and has a climate controlled room to sleep in a bed with showers, toothbrushes, and soap.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
...getting fucked in the ass by his roommate constantly afraid of being stabbed by aryans....

[–]intangible-tangerine 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Yes, there's one form of justice for the rich and one for the poor, no one in their right mind is going to argue with that and yes this man's long sentence may have a lot to do with his race and class but, let's not forget that in the course of the robbery he led the bank staff to believe that he was armed and caused them fear and distress, so it's not just about $100.
[–]notjawn 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Unfair on the surface, but if a judge were to hand down a sympathy sentencing for robbing a bank you'd see every Tom Dick and Harry knocking off banks for small amounts and telling sob stories.

Reddit is far to quick to assume that cases like this are true although it is pretty sad that the American justice system is so messed up that this is even plausible.
[–]crusoe 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Thats the problem. He stole too little.
Sometimes I think the Chinese are right, they execute embezzlers, etc.

There is no amount of punishment that could pay back for what that CEO did.
[–]tootie 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Surrendering $3B plus interest would have been fine.
[–]easterlingman -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Plus a proportional jail sentence of 450,000 years might do.
Life in prison would be a start.
[–]mark445 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago

No.
[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points-3 points 1 year ago
This is a blatant repost. Don't give this person any karma. Everybody ignore this, downvote it, and go comment & upvote in the original post.
[–]ifeelstabby -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Original post from last month? LOL. You must be new. This is a couple years old.
Uh-huh... So please link to the real original post.
[–]ifeelstabby 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
This is the basis for it from 2 years ago. It has since been a r/politics, r/reddit and r/pics circlejerk dozens of time whenever a new rich man "escaped" justice.
Son I was on Reddit before rage comics and TLDR even existed. Don't you sass mouth your elders.
Translation: You can't link to the "real" original post. So why don't you piss off with your "LOL u must be noooob!!!!"
I don't want to see some article about it. I'm talking about the first time this particular image was posted.
It's the same circlejerk. Just a new evil rich guy comparison you twat. For this to not be a repost it would have to also introduce a new homeless guy.
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
I don't care about the basis for it, or if something similar has been discussed at some point. I'm saying that this image is a repost of the origninal post I linked to. I don't understand how / why / what you are arguing.
You're nothing but a fart stain. Why don't you go stick your dick in a pencil sharpener.
Awww, did I hurt your feelings?

As usual, this is completely hyperbolic and there's a perfectly good explanation for this.
The CEO was white, the homeless guy was black.
