Ferguson mayor wins third term

[Demsrule86]

21. I listened to the video and read about this election...

Of course the local newspaper is gong to be rah rah...but the reality is...This guy is up to his eyeballs in targeting the poor;they fine people in Ferguson to pay for the government and some of that money probably goes to the state...I have seen it here in Ohio...in Youngstown it is illegal to run out of gas, it is illegal to show anything but white drapes in your windows...there are many other stupid laws which provide a tidy sum of money for everyone...policing for profit...here in Ohio, you get charged with something, you will pay a fee even if the charges are dismissed;hubs and I paid $150.00 for a ticket that was dismissed. We could afford it, but it pissed me off to no end...plenty can't afford those sort of fees that target the poor and are imposed so the rich don't have to pay their fair share....our state and cities have bullshit laws intended to hit the poor who are being used like cash cows...and if they can't pay, why throw them in a private prison...the new debtor's prison... don't ask me to be happy that man who has participated in this scam got elected...probably many voters have a felony conviction because of his broken window policing...they don't advertise elections either...This elected guy is scum...I call out every damn politician who enacts 'fees' on the poor so people like Trump can have more. It is disgraceful.
