This made way too much sense and is very informative. Thanks for sharing. Our society and justice system is so twisted it's sickening.

Legal system. Not justice system. Two very different things.

I feel like if laws were required to be written in this "ELI5" comic form, we'd all be better off.

I wish they taught this shit in public school.

They don't teach you much of the really important stuff that you need to thrive and stay out of trouble. A lot of school was busy work to get good grades. No real world substance.
Maybe there's something to that...

Format requires you to look at a few pages to get the point, but it's well-done content, so I personally don't mind the annoyance if it gives the guy more ad revenue.
If you like it, page one of the discussion starts here.
If you want clarification on "mens rea", that one starts here.

If you're unfamiliar with the legal system in the U.S. (And that's just about anyone who isn't professionally involved in it), definitely read through the entire set of comics. I read through it approximately 8-12 months ago and would vouch for the accuracy of it. Guy knows his stuff.

You should read the whole 'story arc', which starts here.
No. I mean, you REALLY SHOULD READ IT.
It's very important that you read it, so that you can understand:
YOU ARE ALL ALREADY POTENTIALLY GUILTY OF EVERY LAW THAT WAS EVER WRITTEN!
HOW DO YOU KNOW? YOU CAN'T! BUT IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NOT IMMUNITY FROM THE LAW.
And this is why I don't put my PERSONAL SHIT on the FUCKING INTERNET.
The less that people know about you, the less likely they are to find out which ass-backwards obsolete eighteenth century laws you have NO IDEA you're breaking.

law system is broken should bet set on fire and started again.

"Resource Limit Is Reached The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later. "

Goat of Death? Bleat of Bandwidth?

Reddit has a Hug of Death.
Voat has a Hug of Minor Inconvenience.
[–] parrygrin [S] ago
Still works for me. Maybe try again in a bit.

Same! I didn't even get to the second page. Sad. It looked like it was going to be good.

Great piece. So easy to understand a fifth grader would get it.

Loved the comic and it was interesting but the font is so horrible...
