Amazon boss Jeff Bezos could face prison over knife sales to children
(www.telegraph.co.uk)
Billionaires don't go to prison, silly. Billionaires are above the law.
But not above a guillotine
There is this one country where they're not above the law ๐จ๐ณ
But billionaires are below the blade of the guillotine
Billionaires are the law
lol like hell he will. The oligarchs are clearly in control of the US
I don't think we should be posting such pornographic fictions in this community.
that's a pardoning
Thatโs an appointment to a cabinet position.
Chief Secretary of Knife Sales to Minors
As an American: lol. Lmao even. The European mind cannot comprehend the unvarnished corruption of the American legal system
I can't help but picture some stereotypical British street urchin child (think Oliver Twist) buying a knife from Amazon.
And the avatar for Amazon just carelessly hands a child a long jagged grooved blade that serves no apparent purpose but gleeful, sadistic murder
long jagged grooved blade that serves no apparent purpose ~~but gleeful, sadistic murder~~ sitting on a shelf and looking cool
Mall ninja shit, my friend.
Sometimes the solution to all our problems is a 10" 440A steel knife modeled after the one used by the sadistic villain in the 1986 action thriller "Cobra" starring Sylvester Stallone at his Stalloniest
I'll bark like a dog for 7days if he spent even a single day in jail
0.00000000000% Chance.
He'd buy the Judge, the Jury, the Courthouse, The News.
More likely, it'll become retroactively legal to sell katanas to newborns.
He doesn't have to. He already paid off Trump, who will pardon him.
Ok, yeah, Iโm sure this is what will finally send him to prisons. ๐
Harsher sentences will also apply to bosses of online stores who let under-18s buy ~~deadly weapons~~ silverware in Home Office crackdown
FTFY.
UK politics is its own brand of out there
Could, but won't. At most he'd pay a fine that would be nothing but pocket change to him.
Yeah fucking right, the laws are just for us plebs.
Shyeeah,. When monkeys fly out of my butt.
Sure he could, sure...
Americans give guns to their kids and let them play with pit bulls. This wouldn't mean a thing to them.
Pigs can fly and penguins can walk on lava.
Does this mean online knife stores are gonna start carding?
I would be fucking ASTOUNDED if this happened.
He could legit murder a kid with one of those knives and not serve a single day ๐
I'm pretty sure he paid millions to Trump to prevent prison
Let's hope so
Can we get a real publication instead of this fantastical comic book?
