Some guy not only gets free, but actually wins a settlement against Teh Government after getting fucked over and nearly killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Must be an Onion article.
Wow, that's fucking awful. I'd not heard of this kid.
I applaud this decision.
See? The system does work!
:supertard:

He probably smoked weed at least once, or something. We'll sort out why he deserved it after he's been punished; it's much more efficient that way.

Yeah. I think "et al" covers that.
What's a roflbot?
Meme generator. Can write Impact font on pics.
