    Are you suggesting to lock musk up for up to a year without a jury convicting him? For an illegal lottery.

        No, just a fair trial for everyone.

        I hate musk more than most and want to see him pay for his crimes, but arresting him for an illegal lottery, that’s possibly a sweep stake, is out of the realm of what I believe in. What the user suggested sounds very fascist to me.

        I’m glad you guys aren’t in charge

          This is nothing compared to what many other African Americans have endured; what makes Musk so different?

            I’m wondering if people are confused about your comment because they are missing the fact that Musk is literally an African American (American now, originally from Africa).

          Right about what, exactly? You do know this is a random person talking out of their ass on the internet about how they want the justice system to work, not reality.

          Have no fear, there would be an investigation and a jury and conviction before Musk is behind bars (LOL JUST KIDDING, Musk is rich and will never face consequences)

            Right about the radical left wanting to imprison political opponents. Without due process

            Over an illegal lottery that could be argued to be a sweep

              Jail and prison are 2 different things. You are held in jail, and may be able to be let out on bond depending on the charges against you, while you wait to receive your due process. You are not held in a prison until you are sentenced by a judge, following a conviction by a jury.

              If your due process is violated and you are imprisoned without conviction, guess who would probably be interested in taking your case? Probably the ACLU.

      You know, they do that to people every single day.

      They hold people (remanded into custody) until a trial if they are a threat to the public.

        They do it even if they’re not a threat to the public. Some people wait years for a trial for trivial bullshit like weed possession.
