I'm sure you can find a lawyer who'll take the case for a percentage of the compensation.

Yeah let me look that up that lawyer's number on my phone that I have to pay $120 in unpaid device payment fees plus $50 in reactivation fees before t-mobile reactivates my data plan.

No worries, let me just use the McDonalds wifi, I'll drive there in my car that was repossessed while I was incarcerated since no one was paying my car payment.

Actually, I'll use my laptop at home. Oh nevermind, it was thrown out on the side of the street a month after I was incarcerated because I got evicted for nonpayment of rent and someone driving by grabbed it.

Things that are simple for you and I are 1,000% more difficult for someone who was just out of prison or is currently homeless.

It's a wonder mini Jan 6 events don't happen more often. Either people are more cowed than I'd hope, the Murphy's Law outcomes like that almost never happen, or the surveillance state is so complete it would make Eric Blair turn stone cold and piss his britches.

> It's a wonder mini Jan 6 events don't happen more often.

An event involving a bunch of people with the financial wherewithal to all take vacation from work and travel across the nation, in order to support an auto-coup with the tacit blessing of a President in power who keeps not-really-joking about being president for life?

I wouldn't use that label since I don't see a lot of overlap with the downtrodden people we're talking about here.

Next you're going to tell me the Brooks Brothers protests weren't native Floridians upset about how their state was counting the ballets.

What percentage of ex convicts are so completely isolated from society that they have no friends, family, or even a public defender, social worker, or parole officer?

A number that would surprise most of us in more-comfortable circumstances, I suspect.
