I love the split personality of HN.

Scenario 1: Poor minority is in jail for multiple car break-ins. "The whole practice of putting non-violent people in jail is just so absurd" gets multiple upvotes.

Scenario 2: Rich white woman goes to jail for tax fraud. "The whole practice of putting non-violent people in jail is just so absurd" gets multiple downvotes.




I'd question the notion that HN is overrun with bleeding-heart liberals.
