Well I am shocked that a person like this would be A Trump supporter and love the Confederacy. /s
He should be up for now than 5 years. This is completely fucked.
Ironically, his 5 year sentence would be longer than the Confederacy lasted.
Don't worry. Trump supporters will just hand wave this as some sort of false flag.
LMAO, they'll call him a legitimate businessman running a legitimate business, why is the government getting in the way of a stand-up American's monkey-torture distribution network!
Whaaaaat? Confederate and Trump flags? I'm so surprised!
With motherfuckin Ice Cube on a T-shirt that's hanging on the wall, too. Says "Boyz N Da Hood" and everything.
What song of his do you think this POS likes?
That CAT shirt isn't a good look either. That company is full of sadistic fuckers. They'll probably promote him for this.
He didn't do the actual stuff though, he got people in Indonesia to do it.
Congratulations, you’ve figured out what a distributor does.
Okay? People in the comments are talking as if he's the one doing the torturing and killing.
Alternately, you're talking as if facilitating the whole network, including the torturing and killing, is somehow better than doing the actual torturing and killing.
Hitler probably didn't kill many/any of the Jews himself either..
He even was nice to that one little Jewish girl. So obviously, he deserves some slack.
I think you are projecting. I don’t see that anywhere. Just people saying that the sentence should be longer. Which it should be. It should be considered as something like federal trafficking with a minimum of 5 years and up to 40 years. I bet they would have sentenced him with more than 5 years if it was CP he was trafficking.
Read the book Whipping Star. It isn't very long. If you get to the end and can't see the corollary, I'd be happy to point them out to you.
Conspiracy then. Just as bad.
How so?
You're overdoing it now.
Meanwhile, Charles Manson is in prison, even though he never killed anyone with his own hands.
He died like 7 years ago.
Which adds a while other level of hypocrisy. Why can't he have good ol' Americans do the job? Are they not good enough for him?
Also don't care that he did not directly do it. He was facilitating it and it would not have happened on the same scale without his help. So in essence, he absolutely caused the torture of monkeys. Should someone who goes a hitman not be charged with anything? The hit man isn't killing the victim without pay so obviously the person hiring one should be charged.
