Sarcasm? I tried to explain how incredibly luck she is to live in a society where law at least approximates morality. I even tried Hitler - "the Holocaust was legal". I went in to detail as to how laws have been used to disenfranchise homosexuals -" in Georgia, sex outside of marriage is illegal (passed in 2010), homosexuals are not allowed to marry, ipso facto homosexual sex is illegal. The code of law makes you a lifetime criminal". I told her that in rural Georgia, a mannish obese lesbian euroamerican living with a black girl has no future in the District Attorney's office.
But she grew up in anarchy, with a single mom who is literally a sociopath with no idea of remorse or empathy. There were no models of ethics or morals for her. I even contributed - once when her mom was selling speed, she got geeked and beat the kid. I had the basement unit of the house, so she ran to me, utter panic, begging me to save her. WTF, I called the cops. I hate the cops, but there are more important things. So what did she learn? The Blue Knight myth. Bluck.
Yet, after that, after I supported her choices all her life, defended her, the little BITCH would send me back to prison for having what she erroneously thought was a pot pipe. With not even the sense to smell it first. That's fucking hateful.
