No, seriously, why is nobody doing this? I'm actually pretty sure that some version of it could be established outside the US, too - there's SO MUCH CRIME! on front-row display here & a lot of it crosses borders and/or international law...

Fucking how did the world become this uninterested in bringing (a certain kind of) criminals to justice?

#JimmyLai, the #HongKong pro- #democracy #media mogul who spent decades as a defiant thorn in Beijing’s side, was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in prison, the harshest penalty ever handed down for a “national security” offense in the semiautonomous territory.

The landmark ruling completes a yearslong effort by Beijing to dismantle the influence of a man it blamed for masterminding Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.
