Oh, there he's suggesting you adhere to "trickle down" economic policies.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Stories like this make me think vigilante justice may not be such a bad idea after all. The kid, his parents, the lawyer who defended him and the judge who sentenced him would make for a nice hanging arrangement for Christmas.

I don't get the "Yi was right" part.

I can see why that would be bewildering for you.

Gotcha.

If I recall correctly this was a call back to a series of debates we had on whether high levels of wealth inequality were bad or not.  You argued that they were not necessarily bad but (in this case) simply a result of high economic freedom.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That makes sense, but then your joke doesn't, since it's talking about greater freedom deriving from wealth, not wealth deriving from freedom.

It's a bit strange to hear an attorney calling for vigilante justice. :hmm:

I have always taken pride in not being a criminal trial lawyer.

Yeah, but it got some laughs.

Fine, but shouldn't you have the backs of your homies though? :sleep:

Really, it needs some colourful lights on it as well, if you want it to be festive. Maybe some tinsel, too.

No. From my professional experience, trial lawyers are some of the worst scum. :P
