    Wat.

    You accuse me of making an argument against something you didn’t say (I didn’t), and now you bring up Trump out of no where.

    The fuck?

    I guess to pay your very silly argument some attention, I’ll bite. Tax evasion is a serious crime and should be prosecuted. Hanging a sign on an overpass isn’t.

    In Al Capones case, tax evasion was the least of what he was suspected of, but it’s what they could prove. It doesn’t mean tax evasion shouldn’t be a crime, and the cops were abusing a nothing law.

      This is very much a purest vs ends debate. Ideally we enforce what’s on the books regardless of who you are, but shy of that it’s better to have these morons off the street for one of the offenses they commited.

      Whoops, that’s on me. I edited and changed my reply to you a few times and lost the plot. Hopefully it makes more sense now.
