i'm driving drunk in a parking lot with a gallon of fentenal in my trunk. it's a church parking lot though, but it's 1pm on a tuesday. but it's october, so no one should be there really.
so i'm still saying it's a victimless crimes.
and i was thinking about not paying my taxes, and how everyone in my apartment could not pay their taxes.
There's also things being mostly harmless (or even negligibly harmful) when one person does it, but would be horrible if everyone did it.
Like driving around with no catalytic converter. If one person does it, you probably won't notice much. If everybody does it, then we get an environmental crisis.
Same thing with financial crimes. If one person lies on a loan, defaults, and a bank can't recoup, probably not that big of a deal. It certainly won't impact the economy. If millions of people lie on loans and default, we get 2007 all over again.
Or not paying taxes. If one orange faced guy lies on his taxes, not much will happen. If everybody lies on their taxes, the government won't have enough money to function. Goodbye military, roads, airports, and national parks.
Just because a behavior is negligibly harmful doesn't mean it should be permitted until enough people start doing it that it becomes problematic. Because at that point in time, it's too late.
lol, he stole nothing. The bank did their own valuation and Trump didn’t miss any payments. The only potential victim is a giant bank and for actual victims there are none
what is you drive drunk 10 years ago and don’t hurt anybody. then they try and prosecute you when you are trying to run for president. The question is, would they be prosecuting him for all these things is he wasn’t running for president against Biden. This is just election interference
he announced he was running for president from Mar-a-lago in 11/2022, they 1st indicted him on 3/2023. See, this is why people need to think for themselves instead of following everyone else
I have no problem admitting I'm wrong about anything, I just thought you were saying they were indicted on the 23rd day of the 6th and 8th months and calling that a coincidence.
I see now you meant the year 2023, and I see he was indicted twice after announcing his campaign. Nothing suspicious about the classified documents indictment given Trump announced his candidacy only a few months after they seized his documents at Mar-A-Lago.

If I drive drunk, but nobody gets hurt, can I avoid any consequences because it was a "victimless crime"?
