Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Victoria Anne Leonard. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading.

I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.

[@viktoriagamez6765]

[@Jumbobeatz]

The way people react to stories like Victor’s says so much about the underlying biases we carry. Instead of confronting the injustice, there’s a rush to rationalize it, to shift the focus, to make it seem like the victim is to blame. These reactions only reinforce the very cycles Victor’s story is trying to expose.

[@THEGIGLITE]

The problem is from the outside these stories seem far fetched, but if you’ve been through the system then you know how crooked it is.. I think nowadays we’re much closer to fixing these type of issues but still a long way away from actual Justice.. also I haven’t been inside in over 10 yrs so idk if it’s changed or the same bullshit

This story doesn’t add up. I’m supposed to believe the FBI, New Jersey Police, and NYPD all independently decided to railroad the same innocent man. I’m supposed to dismiss the fact that he was already known to police. He just happened to be friends with “some guys hanging out” who definitely weren’t a gang, but called themselves Africans Only and had multiple members who went to prison. And the evidence of his innocence is that he had a different color shirt on then some of the other people in the photo array? To me it sounds like he found a good lawyer who got him off on procedural technicalities.

I mean, listen I live in Flatbush Brooklyn, my whole life. I’ve been on the island I was in C7 six the beacon I was in the tombs that are now closed. I went up in 2011 I did seven years. I’m not proud of that but you telling someone that you can’t work because of what you did or seen and now all you do is shake now it’s just an excuse to let your past dictate your future that’s all it is life happens and you have to be stronger than what life throws at You … he said he wanted to be a pilot. You can still go to Flight school. It cost a lot of money but just because you’re not a pilot now doesn’t mean you’re too good for a job at McDonald’s or wherever you have to start somewhere I think you use all this as an excuse to not continue to live. Praying that you get some big settlement. That’s never gonna happen you can get anything back in life except for time wasted and that’s all you’re doing is wasting time. …..I know how police can play games 100% but every single story that you have you’re the victim every single person identifies you as a suspects and now you’re the quote of the town“ I think some things have been handled, I’m sure but to this full extent, I don’t believe it. There’s some things that you’re not telling us the reality of it.🤦🏾‍♂️ after a certain point in time, you have to take accountability for your actions and stop doing the same things expecting different results. If you do what you’ve always done you’re always going to get what you’ve always got. Then he says I couldn’t have my special soup when I was in prison.🤦🏾‍♂️🤣 Man doesn’t understand how life works. I wish you all the best and I hope you get out of the mindset that you’re in and start being strong. God will show you the way but faith without works is dead. If you just sit around thinking, God is going to change your life, it’s not how things work

[@Jumbobeatz]

It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and pass judgment when you haven’t lived through the hell Victor has endured. You talk about accountability, but how about holding a corrupt system accountable for ruining someone’s life? He survived abuse, false imprisonment, and systemic failures most people couldn’t imagine. Instead of lecturing about ‘moving on,’ maybe try understanding the sheer resilience it takes to still stand after all that. Not everyone can ‘just get over it’ when they’ve been targeted and betrayed by the very institutions meant to protect them.

[@mikeronald3812]

Yeah I was a little surprised when he mentioned the soup. When you go to jail/prison (especially Rikers) nobody really cares what you want. Being alive every day in that prison is probably a successful day.

This kid has an excuse for not doing a lot of logical and obvious moves and immediately blames everyone but himself. Yea he got done wrong but I guarantee there’s two or three different sides to this story. Johnny I think you should have pushed for the real truth on some parts cuz I can tell you didn’t buy it all.

[@Jumbobeatz]

So your takeaway is ‘nobody owes you anything’? Fascinating how you made it through seven years of foster care and still came out sounding like a spokesperson for ‘tough love’ with zero nuance. Nobody’s asking for a parade, but Victor’s holding the system accountable for literal crimes. Hate to break it to you, Chad, but ‘accountability’ works both ways-maybe the state and police should take some too. Or does that not fit your narrative?

[@briandain8432]

@Jumbobeatz Nope. Really doesn't fit my narrative. You want freedom and Sovereignty? Move somewhere you're not just another number among MILLIONS. City people live in an illusion thinking their wonderful civilization doesn't reduce Liberty with Chaos Management. And I've been the only non-urbanite in a room as an entire family stood around the stove fighting for food as soon as it's cooked, just like a modern tribe.
