@FreedomRinger_ argued:

“The only thing our Judicial system seems to do is protect the wealthy and the powerful. What a joke. You want to know how a population becomes radicalized? You're looking at it.”

@DominaMagdalena declared:

“Yes, pray to your demon overlords, Diddy. But this summer of exposure has just begun.”

@JohnGloistein predicted:

“If Diddy ends up locked up, he’ll be running the rec yard talent show like Larry Hoover.”

@KelleyR51281260 argued:

“Oh, so dramatic he already knew what was gonna happen that’s why he didn’t testify and that’s why he continued to say he was innocent. And unfortunately, this was a very small trial, considering everything that actually happened for decades. We’re all moving along now from the Diddy trial. And we’ll see what happens next just like it did with OJ Simpson. Time keeps moving on.”

@tpponting claimed:

“When you have the blackmail material on so many people, you never do time.”
