I was homeless just North of their border so the police here in Ohio set me up with a fake felony to keep me in jail. A dude stopped his truck in front of me while I was Doordashing, cornered me into a fist fight, and then told the police I hit him with my car. The people in the car behind me also backed him up. It never happened, so why was it so simple for me to be locked in jail indefinitely with my and lawyer telling me COVID suspended the fair and speedy trial? I cannot handle being in a noisy environment and have avoidant personality disorder, so I eventually caved to the plea deal. Now here I am nearly 2 years out with an ok job and my own place but I need to come up with $1100 before the end of the month for my fines or go back to court.

I'm convinced they're just trying to create a slave class. If you are an easy target, they'll take you and mark your record so you have to be cheap labor for three upper class.

I’m sorry our society failed you and wish you the best for the future.

I gotta say it.

Ok Boomer.

Society has failed everyone. It's just that most people don't see it.

How it is people could possibly believe in the legitimacy of legal systems knowing how they only make it easier for evil people to victimize others instead of protecting them is beyond me.

I am so sorry for what you went through.

It's easy. Nobody gets to see what actually happened. They see what Fox news tells them and nothing of what goes on in the Hamilton county jail. More than likely nobody is even interested. They either have their own problems or are comfortable enough im their life to think I deserved what I got. There's even people who are such rent seekers that they think I deserved it simply by virtue of not paying to live in a house.

Nobody is gonna help me except my roommate.
