Not all felons are equal

Chris
@JustH3aRm30uT

Need to get this off my chest. I’m a felon. Spent 3 years in Utah State Prison for Burglary/Forgery.

Tried to end my life after I got out cause society rejected me. ZERO state/federal resources. Couldn’t get a lease, couldn’t get job.

And this FUCK is running for President! 😡

wouldn't knowingly hire a convicted felon, let alone let one in the house. But they want one for president. Go figure.

2. You have confessed. You are now forgiven.

Go and sin no more.
While I don’t buy the whole invisible being thing, I do steal and do the whole forgiveness thing.
I’ve been a drug addict and have been clean for over 30 years. I dropped out of college before I flunked out. Went back later in life and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
The one truth I’ve found is Nothing is Black or White , it’s all Gray.

3. Exactly. No dualities. Ying-yang dots important because nothing is pure. Forgiveness is powerful for the forgiver. . .nt

5. Humans tend to confuse the symbol with the thing.

The flag is a symbol not the country. Many salute and worship and go to war over it while dumping their waste on the ground.

6. Certain felons get to postpone their trials, so if they become president they can pardon themselves
