Wait how do you pronounce New Orleans? New Or lens or New Or leah ends

Logical Insanity

So the big question is: who won the fight? Idiot judge? Or the lawyer?

John Oliver is a man of conviction and has fond many flaws in the America ,
yet nothing seams to change , why is that ?

What I learn from John Oliver every time he releases a video: the world is
fucked up and nobody is doing shit about it

I hope they bury that judge in a deep dark hole

I think the most disturbing part of all of this is that Dennis Quaid is
still alive.

god dammit florida…

Just going to gloss over a judge taking a public defender out of court and
beating the shit out of him THEN coming back and calling 7 cases without
the lawyer present?
I mean yeah the public defender issue sucks pretty bad, but I’m pretty sure
a judge being able to get away with that is FAR worse.

*’Merica*

Please don’t satirise Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth like you did. She’s done
more for the anglosphere than all of your fellow HBO comedians combined.

that’s ridiculous!

This is interesting, can anyone tell me if this also applies to Canada?

Is the problem overworked public defenders or morons who refuse to act
civilized and stay out of trouble. It is not that difficult to stay out of
jail. People make stupid choices and then expect others to feel sorry for
them. I do not. You are entitled to an attorney but you are not
guaranteed the right to a good one. You get exactly what you pay for.

Florida has no State income taxes morons, so if you are dumb enough to
break the law, be prepared to pay a fee. Lesson? Don’t fucking break the
law! Anyways, I moved to Australia, to much Black on white crime in USA.
Look up, “white girl bleed a lot”

The great ol USA people.

The judge who fought the lawyer is still on the bench?? That’s fucked up.

Tattooing names on his back? No, that doesn’t make him a heroic lawyer,
John. It makes him an idiot.

I thought debtor’s prison was against the law here in the U.S…

Dear Last Week crew: I applaud your enthusiasm for wanting to make this
country a better place. But I wish you were more proactive about the
process of actually making this country a better place. You point out what
is wrong, and that’s about it. You might provide some slight direction on
what needs to happen, but don’t do much to help actually get the ball
rolling. For example, with the Florida judge who hears cases without the
presence of the public defender, you should’ve told us his name and some
sort of contact info for the courthouse or appropriate Florida government
office to contact so we can send letters demanding that the judge be fired
and replaced with someone who will do things right.

You all are clearly intelligent and have a great sense of justice. I just
wish you would use your talents and influence to actually make things right
rather than just pointing out what is wrong. You are passionate about
convincing us what needs to be done, so enlighten us on exactly how to
actually get it done.

I live at home so i’m fine just working 1 minimum wage job while i’m in
college but most of my older co workers have 2 to 3 jobs and at least 1 is
full time This is not what i call lazy but they are poor and just by
talking i can always find out the reason they are in their current
position. For example one was 2 semesters away from having a college degree
in computers but she had to leave college to help her mother who was having
health issues. So she started working multiple minimum wage jobs to take
care of two people and never got out of that situation.

I was hoping for an episode on the immigration crisis in Europe but I doubt
it would be done as well as all of the other episodes.

amazing

Muppet fuckability starts with Janice

America is broken!!!!!

I usually really enjoy John Oliver, but as a law student I found a number
of issues with the points he was trying to make

1. Most cases end in plea bargaining so that the court system isn’t
completely backed up with cases. Do you realize how long you would have to
wait for a court date if everyone wanted a trial?
2. Public defenders try to get a plea deal because they have too much of a
caseload to take them all to trial
3. The reason public defenders have such a heavy case load is because there
simply aren’t enough lawyers that are willing to work pro bono. Most people
become lawyers so they can work for a firm and work higher profile cases
while getting paid ten times the amount you would working as a public
defender. Most public defenders pay is absolute crap, but they do it
because they like helping others.
4. Another sad but honest answer is that a lot of public defenders do not
want to go to trial because they really are not that skilled of lawyers.
I’m sure there are some absolutely fantastic lawyers that work pro bono
because they enjoy it, but majority work it because they are either fresh
out of law school or could not get hired by firms that only want the best
lawyers. (if anyone watches “Better call Saul” that’s a really good
representation of a skilled public defender)
5. Yes the Miranda warring does say that if you cannot afford an attorney
one will be provided to you, but it says nothing about paying court fees.
Almost everyone that goes to court must pay some kind of court fee because
you are using up the time of the court. Most of the time some of the money
from the fees will be paid to the public defender, so while you are not
actually paying for a lawyer you pay the court cost that then pay a portion
to your defender.

Other than these things I do agree that there are many problems with our
legal system and they should be fixed. Still had a good laugh though as
usual from John Oliver, keep it up.

Now imagine if 90%-95% said fuck no and stood up for themselves…. the
game will break lol

Blame the sheriffs and police, they are so corrupt and sadistic that they
will arrest people for grocery shopping. Felony GROCERY SHOPPING !!! ,
Purchase lemonade with intent to drink it.. Even when you don’t take a plea
deal because you know your in the right and it’s a matter of principal.
Yeah, give me a jury trial, if there’s one on it who has ever grocery
shopped, ima go free. But they don’t give me a jury trial, they keep having
me return a month later, every month sometimes twice a month. So they can
make me sit for hours waiting, try yet again with more plea deals, and drag
it out more when I refuse. Ultimatley dismissing the case when the time
expires, about a year.

But even without a conviction, they manage to abuse me for a week in jail,
charge me 1,000 dollars in bond to get out, cause me to lose my job by
missing to to be in jail or court, then tag me with a criminal history that
prevents me from working or getting into an apartment. Yes, no convictions
and a criminal history. That is all it will say on the background check. No
detail or explanation. Get beaten raped, robbed and abused by a sadistic
and obviously corrupt county sheriff deputee or sergent and your the
criminal.

Ya know, I can’t read a book in my own car in a parking lot at night with
the dome light on because I must be breaking into someone else’s car. I’m a
lowlife criminal scum. Cops don’t care they make their living from crime,
if I was really a criminal they would leave me be. They know I’m not so
they come after me every day. Cops follow me into stores and try to have me
banned by lying to the store manager, owner or employee. But even if they
can convince another customer to agree to ban me, then they issue me a
trespass warning. This is how they arrest me for BS

When everything is against the law, everyone will be a criminal and when
the laws no longer apply to police, nothing they ever do can be considered
wrong.

Do people really think that because someone has a PD they are guilty? That
is ridiculous. If they have a PD it means they cannot afford a lawyer, that
is it.

im so glad I don’t live in florida anymore!

YAAAAY WE ARE BACK

what up Kima

Okey, I’ll google Diana + truth

..how can I unsee that o_0

why do I keep watching these videos ? oh yes it’s because this show is
awesome 😀 and i am not from america

8:00 Your Honor, I’d like to request a continuance. Preferably a morning
after a night when you’ve gotten laid… ;-)

I am honest to God surprised that only 4 people sent semen to John’s
church.

The 5th amendment guarantees my right to speak to an attorney. If I can’t
afford to, the public provides me with one. The 2nd amendment guarantees my
right to bare arms. If I can’t afford it, the public should provide me with
a gun.

Easily one of the most depressing episodes.

Ask yourself : In a court who is the boss? If you are not the boss then who
else is the boss in the court? Guest? Do you want to get hurt as like the
man at 8:16 in video? The best is just said: Yes or No because I feel I
total lost in a jungle with many Tigers and Lions around.

this is why im voting for bernie sanders!!! we need a revolution and we are
gonna have it.

After viewing this three words womes to my mind : Federal Reserve Bank.
Also known for it’s real name : Central Bank of America.

As Andrew Jackson would say :

*”Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of
the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am
convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the
breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst
you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I
take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten
thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin!
Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that
would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to
rout you out, and by the Eternal, I will rout you out!”*

And once Andrew Jackson did became president of the United States (evading
an assassination attempt by the way) and closed the Central Bank of
America, for the first time in the country’s history since it’s fundation, *the
national debt of the United States of America was reduced to a flat zero*.

What’s the link with this video ? Simple : the worst criminals are
innocent, the best innocents are criminal ; criminals have the law on their
side even when everything point out it should be against them, innocents
have the law against them when it should stand with them ; criminals can
afford to make justice out of injustice, innocents can’t afford to prevent
justice to become injustice, and are charged guilty and forced to pay a fee
for letting it to happen… But when we get private interests, unfair
interests, unconstitutionnal interests and irrationnal interests out of the
equation, things go well.

That’s frankly terrifying to know that this nation possess both one of the
most unfair judicial system, the most corrupt militaro-industrial complex,
the biggest army on earth and is controlled by the most elitist and ammoral
institution the world have ever seen (FED.) And that since the world’s
economy is being tied to the dollars ($), all nations on earth are
inevitably tied to the United States policies… Please, let it be a second
Andrew Jackson being born. Because i don’t know where this world is going,
but i’m absolutely certain that whatever the destination is, i don’t want
to get there…

god! America! your public defense system should not operate like a loan
shark. you’re public defense system seems to be operating pretty much
exactly like a loan shark. :O

Wow. What a perfect system we have! I’m not worried at all!

He is so correct!
I had a case, innocent of charges. The public defender rescheduled me 3
time’s because I refused to plead out.
He ended up walking out of the court and left me to another P.D. within
minutes of my case being called.
She actually got up and let me speak.
Judge dismissed my.case.
We do not have a justice system!
Millions of people plead down for this reason.

Clearly an area in need of reform! Increased government spending could help
the situation some, but that alone would be a Band-Aid. The underlying
problem is that public defense is a form of price control. Price ceilings
cause shortages, quality decay, black markets, and often the
over-consumption by the few at the expense of the many. Despite being
“free”, there are a limited number of public defenders, and they are
currently rationed ineffectively. I propose 5 points, based on the issues
John Oliver has brought to my attention, to improve this situation. 1.
Require all lawyers to serve rotationally as public defenders in cases they
are qualified to represent in. This “jury duty” will improve both numbers
and quality. 2. Provide defendants with free access to a public law
library, online resources, videos recorded by lawyers, and study time for
personal legal defense 3. Where possible, reform the laws most frequently
involved in public defense cases to be a) simple enough for personal
defense, given a week or month of study b) have reduced sentencing for the
poor, including public service substitution for confiscations and fines 4.
Limit the number of cases handled by public defenders instead of granting
them as an unwieldy right. Rationing could be done through random lottery,
but I favor prioritizing the most complex cases, most serious crimes, and
those judged by the court as physically or mentally incapable
of representing themselves in court. 5. Public defenders are to be always
paid by the government and never by a private person. If the government
cannot afford their purchase, they must issue them a bond of credit with
interest. BONUS 6. Have John Oliver visit Bill Gates and convince him
to have Microsoft’s develop the perfect public defender, a lawyer AI. I
have not had much time to think about this, but consider it a good rough
sketch.

There is an easy fix to this problem. Don’t GET ARRESTED……

This country needs to be burned then rebuilt.

America is so shitty that even the shittiest places in the world go wtf is
wrong with you guys ? Current turmoil Syria would be like you guys are so
freaking inhuman..

USA “Justice” system… the most sickening evil system ever conceived…I
don’t believe even Satan can come out something so twisted, evil and
perverted…

US legal system is a big joke. It’s a big vicious cycle that leaves very
little option for people who fall into the system, even for a non-violent
“crime.” The situation is worse for people accused of cime involving a
minor even though a minor may be a whore and seeking older men.

Yay, Kima Greggs :)

Hmmm. Do a lot of guilty people end up in jail? LOL (PS Amen)

Yeah, lately the show is more whiney and less funny. I’m going back to
watching “Narcos”…

i hope jhon oliver is ok. this episode was so raw and not entertaining like
other ones.

boobs

I think he should do an episode on youtubers

Sam the eagle will give you a blumpkin for $20

John Oliver loves his Raccoon impression……… and who am I kidding so
do I.

So this notification came 2.35 am, sleep is for the weak!
So not only justice system is failing by using the mandatory minimum
sentences but also basically the public defendant is more like an excuse to
say they provide a lawyer. The rich getting out no problem and yet a dying
poor citizen has to endure constant harassment that cost more to tax payer
than the actual good that comes out of it.

once again JO right on point…

Wait, so poor people have rights but the rest of us do not? I’m sensing a
common theme here: we should pity the poor and be constantly robbed to
support them, but the rest of us are just SOL.

And this fool just keeps on whining for his version of reform, when the
obvious solution is an entirely new system. He won’t talk about that
because he’s a left-wing shill.

it doesn’t have to make fiscal sense when you have a system that wants to
maintain a gap of oppression on those that are poor and/or non-white.
there’s an intentional separation because they want those people to know
their place

Ok I know this is an American show, but come on Oliver give Jeremy Corbin a
mention. If an American party elected a Socialist to run in the election
the world would go crazy.

o.O

NOOOOOO! My church has closed down.

The last part of this video is an excellent PSA for people who can’t be
bothered to actually watch the show. Would it be possible for LWT to upload
just the last part so people can share it?

Ofcourse it was Florida. How could it not be Florida. Lauging my f*cking
ass off

public defenders get overburdened with heavy workload, don’t get paid
nearly enough, and lack the resources to defend people. Also, that judge
apparently is on paid leave with promises to take anger management class.
How’s that for justice?

Fuck the government.

Corn on the cob holders, lol!

John Oliver got one major fact wrong, the system is not broken for it is
working exactly as designed. See we look at the criminal justice system as
citizens and thus it seems completely broken. If you look at the system
through the eyes of a businessman is working perfectly. Open up a prison
and fill it with non-violent offenders that committed victimless crimes and
watch the money role in. Invest a little bit of money in local elections
and magically they start implementing tough on crime policies. Taxpayers
get locked up for really no reason and then taxpayers foot the bill for the
profits of the private prison and everything is great as long as you are a
private company making the money if not your screwed.

We need to admit that our criminal justice system is not about justice but
about abuse and profits. Considering how stacked the laws are in favour of
the police the fact that there are so many cases that results in them
paying out settlements is disturbing. The reality is that criminal justice
has become a way to take money from the masses and give it to the rich, it
is like reverse Robin Hood except for you are also the evil sheriff.

Of course it was Florida!

What a nice slave system…

Thanks for talking about this gross injustice in such a digestible way.
Hilarious as always >:P

Why is there so many racoons in this show, don´t you know?

Uhmmm, this is Debtor’s Prison which was never outlawed, but given over to
the states. Furthermore, it is a fact that the states with the most
incarcerated populations have the highest number of person’s in jail for
debt related issues the top reason of not being able to pay legal fees!
Let’s talk about that during the next presidential debate!

Merica.
Sad fucking Merica.

you should do something on the family courts like in my case where I pay
half of everything I make the child support then my ex wife takes me to
court and I can’t afford an attorney and even though I have hours of tapes
of mental abuse to my son because I don’t know the procedure because I
can’t afford an attorney the judge takes away all my rights to my child for
no reason and then chastises me because I can’t afford an attorney

Is there a private jail system in Florida? Somebody is making money…

No ace attorney reference, I’m disappointed.

Florida just took the title from Texas for being the most backward,
retarded, corrupted, state in the Union.

what can you expect from a police state

Now that…that’s some straight-up bullshit!

usa is so fucked up. thirld world country.

that raccoon joke is ironically racist

Three cheers for Debtor’s Prison…?

constitutional as fuck!!!

My reaction every time I watch John Oliver: “Hahaha, wait, shit,
seriously…? God dammit…”

Cant Florida just float away.. what a fucked up state!

I’m glad that I’m not living in the USA :)

“Of course it was Florida!!”

I think everyone is starting to realise that the greatness of America is
all just propaganda.
