We Are Ross. Digital painting (doodle?)
Sometimes I think about Ross William Ulbricht. I was in jail myself (innocent) and it is torture just to be there. The violence is in the head and you cannot see it like a hit on the arm which gets blue afterwards. Still the pain is there.
I wrote on the card Tatiana Moroz sent him to jail that I am with him. That's what I wrote on the mattress in my cell, too. These messages others leave as graffiti were very helpful to me.
To get the man out of jail and create an alternative to this sick law and order bullshit is what really drives me. A committee which is above the judges and which looks at a case and decides if it was morally right or wrong is unexistent.
I had to express my feelings in a painting and that's the result:
It's unbelievable how the system came up with the sentencing, something must be done about it. It doesn't seem right to me at all!
I don't know about the USA but in Germany it is up to the judge to decide if he will sentence someone or not. I have an example. There is one judge in Hamburg who doesn't judge cannabis users because he says that they didn't do anything wrong. So if it is up to the judge then all the judges who sentence these cases are terrible people who go to work, destroy a life, and go home. Likely these assholes sit at the table and tell their friends how important it is to not take home the job. So -they are blending out everything they do! If you look at east-germany before the reunification, there were many government employees who were untouchable. After the fall of the country they were the bad guys. The time will come when these people will be held accountable. So sad that they can keep doing their evil actions and get paid money for it.
Can't pick any side. I did a bit of my own research but still it's just information in the web.
But it's really sad and hurts my feelings if he was truly innocent.
