> pending 30 days in jail, where she suffered a miscarriage.

Ok this is horrific, and Hertz should be ashamed of their behavior. Now, we dont have any proof the arrest or jail time caused the miscarriage, but to the extent we believe it did, can we also talk for a minute about why our executive branch/jail system is so hard on people (of both sexes btw) such that physiological distress occurs such as miscarriages or suicides?

It's completely unnecessary, I'd dare say detrimental, to getting rehabilitated.

Because the police for a hundred years have cultivated a culture of horrific abuse of power, and if you bring it up, half the country calls you a radical.

Some people, whether they notice or not, prefer a world where "others" suffer.

I did notice this aspect of American mentality. Somehow the culture here really seems to feel that retributive justice is justice served.

On one hand, I admire the US system where a class lawsuit can punish even the largest corporations, like here.

On the other hand, I am terrified to travel there fearing something like this will happen and I will rot in jail for some Kafkaesque mistake.
