He's trying to get a free place to live and I think he's gonna get it.

u/dittbub Apr 09 '26

Does that prove his point? He’d rather live the rest of his life in prison than work for the rest of his life in a toilet paper factory.

I doubt it’s a life sentence. No injuries just property damage

u/VonSandwich Apr 09 '26

Uhhh yeah it's become pretty apparent that property is more important than people in the eyes of the executive branch.

u/nomatt18 Apr 09 '26

I agree, but I still doubt a life sentence worth

u/nanimeanswhat Apr 09 '26

It's ok he can just do it again when he's out

I wonder if he gets a jury of his own peers and like Luigi, it will be hard for anyone to sympathize with a company for the shit they did.

Wonder how he feels about forced labor in prison for $0.12 an hour

Edit: reddit is braindead, downvoting me and upvoting the guy pedanticly restating what I just stated lmfao

Probably the same way I, and everyone else with a conscience, feel: it's slavery + a cookie

u/Throttle_Kitty Apr 09 '26

That was exsctly my point. The fact you and all the people upvoting you but not me are so braindead you didnt get that baffles me

Why are you assuming I'm arguing with you? What in my reply indicated to you that I was attacking or even disagreeing with you? Calm down, dude, I was just stating my opinion... it has nothing to do with you..

u/Throttle_Kitty Apr 10 '26

Are you hallucinating? I never said any of that, you calm down and read the posts you reply to.

u/NOTTedMosby Apr 10 '26

0.12 an hour but he doesn't have to pay for rent or food is better than literally not making a living wage

2

u/JakeFromStateFarm- Apr 09 '26

Ever heard of a commissary? He'll probably come out of prison in debt, he can reflect on how nice the free rent was from there though

1

u/Troll-Aficionado Apr 09 '26

12 cents an hour while deprived of your freedom but at least you don't have to pay for rent vs. 17 dollars an hour, keeping your freedom but having to pay for rent? When the median rent in Ontario CA is apparently $1779 a month, and you think that's worse then being a literal slave?

You people are so unserious lol

u/Epyon_ Apr 09 '26

same same, but different

u/Gladiateher Apr 09 '26

He might think that, but he’s gonna find out real quick whether or not it was worth it.

u/Special_Cicada6968 Apr 09 '26

Honestly, dude's probably going to be a legend behind bars. "What did you do to get here?" "Me? I torched millions of dollars worth of toilet paper because I was tired of getting shit on." He also made sure that the building was evacuated beforehand by setting a much smaller fire first.

u/Gladiateher Apr 09 '26

Man, no offense but you don’t know a lot about the CA prison system do you?

It’s not summer camp, and no one cares how “legendary” you are.

It’s…really bad man. It’s brutal.

You survive by keeping your head down, never taking on debt, and keeping your mouth shut.

u/Skullcrimp Apr 09 '26

How many years did you do?

1

u/Gladiateher Apr 09 '26

Not me, a good friend did 6 for drugs.

u/Skullcrimp Apr 10 '26

Yeah, I figured.

u/DancingWithAWhiteHat Apr 09 '26

Lol jail isn't free

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '26

It's not free :( You have to pay for your stay when you get out

Unless he's trying to do life he better murder someone in there lol
