She got 6 months but will only do 2 more weeks because she was held without bail.

America is the toilet of jurisprudence.

“This was unlike anything our team has ever experienced,” Nick Cocchi, the Hampden county sheriff, said of the incident, which was captured on video released by his office and posted to YouTube by MassLive.

Oh, so let me get this straight: Six months of jail time for weaponizing apian assault on badge-wearing servants of capital, but absolutely zero consequences for the systemic, routine devastation of booting an 80-year-old cancer patient out of his house so some predatory lending vulture can liquidate his assets. The sheriff found the bee incident “unlike anything our team has ever experienced.” Yeah buddy, because you experience housing destruction so fucking regularly it doesn’t even register as anomalous anymore. It’s background radiation at this point. Just another Tuesday enforcing the financial rape of sick people. “We try to help people through difficult situations,” Cocchi said, while literally being the instrument of their most difficult situation. That’s some real I’m very sorry for this but I’m going to do it anyway energy. “We’re compassionate genocidalists” is basically what you’re saying. Rebecca Woods showed up with an actual physical manifestation of “NO” and the state’s response was to break her face into pavement and jail her for six months. But the eviction? Chef’s kiss. Totally cool, totally legal, totally normal. The fact that his statement treats getting swarmed by bees as the shocking aberration rather than, I dunno, the routine judicial destruction of someone’s life is just peak American law enforcement tunnel vision. You know what’s “unprecedented”? Actually giving a shit about the person you’re destroying. Woods failed, the guy lost his home, and everyone’s fine with that. That’s the part that should be “unlike anything we’ve experienced.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

FUCK THESE PIGS

FUCK THIS SYSTEM

STING ALL THE FUCKING PIGS

IRL superhero.

90 years ago when the sherrif showed up to evict people like this...

The neighbors were already there with shotguns.

If the sherrif didn't turn around, the county was soon having to vote for a new sherrif. And they usually voted for one that wouldnt even leave their office for an eviction call.

If anything ever went to trial out of it, juries were very unlikely to convict.

Sometimes people need to just stop giving any fucks. And we're kind of getting there again...

This woman did nothing wrong.

Also this reveals cops have a pokemon style weakness to bugs because they can't shoot them. Honestly we should be weaponizing bug swarms more. Maybe collect some bullet ants in a container that would break if people busted down your door.

DR BEES

Idk why she's being sentenced to anything. It is not illegal to release bees. What the bees do after release is not the responsibility of the keeper. Nature is self balancing. Obviously the cops were upsetting the natural order and should issue a public apology and avoid evicting elderly people. Or at least wear bee keeping gear while they do it.

Or just go jump in a fire for considering it to begin with.

This is what a real patriot looks like.

Imagine reading this story and thinking the cops are the good guys.

Goddamn conservatives need to be removed from society.

Allergic cops attract bees.

Gahhh! The situation has only been made worse by the addition of yet more bees!

I got swarmed as a kid, and got several dozen bee stings. It was probably the most terrifying episode of my life, but I was fine.

I'm glad those Apes got a taste of that terror. A few bee stings never hurt anyone. They deserve it.

weaponized bees!

This sounds like a teaser for the next Beekeeper movie.

shes like that QUEEN BEE" character in supergirl series.

bees

OH YES THE BEES! OH YES!

Mwahahahahahahaha that was a great idea. Bees are a pretty good equalizer.
