The American Justice System: Just, Fair, Non-Sensical


A 15-year-old American girl has been hauled before federal authorities on child pornography charges after taking and distributing nude pictures of herself, the Newark Advocate reports.

The minor faces the prospect of having to register on the sex offender's list for the next 20 years, in addition to a lengthy jail sentence, after admitting her responsibility for the incident. She reportedly made illegal use of her mobile phone camera despite receiving a stern warning from state prosecutors, who had been touring local schools to advise against the practice.
America has the highest number of prisoners per capita (1 in 140), and the absolute highest number of people behind bars in the world (over 2 million people). With over 2 million Americans in jail or prison, we’re half a million ahead of China, whose population is quadruple ours. Supersize it!

It's not a good time to be a teen rebel. The Justice system is running low on fresh drug-related prisoners, it's time to seek new demographics!

When naked teenagers are outlawed,
only outlaws will have naked teenagers.

Well, that's because China kills all their criminals, and makes them pay for the bullets.
