I just am having a hard time getting myself to be able to believe in much of any kind of justice. You call this person a violent criminal first degree felony rapist and give them what eight years. I think he said it happened in 2017 and he got out in 26 17, 18 19, 20 20, 2010 years 10 years and I know people that go in for less than that of drugs and you give them more. I just don’t feel that that’s doing due diligence on what’s mostly important so I just politics all of it it’s I don’t vote so I don’t know. I think it’s all corrupt. I think we need to do a better job all the way around. I think we’re wasting our money and doing what corporate wants that doesn’t have anything to do with us but anyways, no I’m done sorry but I’m anxious to see what happens. I’ll see what happens. I’m New Yorker. That’s where I come from so maybe New York has a backbone. I don’t know.
