    I don’t have blind faith in it, I’m sure there are some people who don’t deserve it.

    However, I’m also sure they’re an insignificant minority. I’m not going to lose sleep over you thinking I should give drug dealers, rapists, murderers and pedophiles a thought on the 0.0000001% chance one of them was wrongfully convicted.

    I’m sure that makes me a dangerous person, far more dangerous than drug dealers, rapists, murderers and pedophiles lmao.

      Wrong again. I’m not an insignificant minority. My case is standard procedure and they make that VERY clear. They use stories and words like 'pedophile ’ and ‘murderer’ to make people like you forget about looking any closer. You believe the charge simply because they say so and their victims get zero support that way. Labels are meant for handling people. Putting a label on someone is announcing how they should be treated.

      You’re a monster who supports monsters.

        Sucks to be you, but I don’t see why I should jeopardize my investment because of one or two edge cases out of a million.

        I’m not going to investigate the criminal history of every single felon when there’s perfectly fine non-felons hanging around looking to rent a place.

        It’s basic common sense.

        Kind of like when you’re choosing between two people to hire, they’re equal in all and every thing, except one of them has full face gangsta tattoos. Guess who gets the job?

          It doesn’t suck to be me. It sucks to live in a world with people like you. I’m not an edge case. I was picked up and slapped with fake charges because I was caught living in my car and therefore not funding the owner class. I’m not an edge case. This is standard practice. We have the absolute highest incarceration rate because they’re profiteering from it and even worse, they’re attacking their political opposition.

          The face full of gangster tattoos is dramatically more telling than a criminal record. The criminal record is much more likely to be fake. The face tattoos are a self announcement. Tell me though, what do you do when the tattoo guy says he was forced to get them?

          I do understand that it’s difficult and impractical to vet people without an external reference, but the United States “criminal justice system” is an absolute garbage external reference.

          Worth noting here that I’m not defending Trump if that needs said.

            Again, sucks to be you, but when I put my place up for rent and there is a felon in the applications, opposed to 10 non felons, it goes right in the bin.

            Feel free to invest your time, money and effort into buying a place, fixing it up and renting it to fellow felons if you’re so inclined.

            Tell me how it goes.
