    If it’s a family member or loved one who commits a crime, they’re “misguided” or “have a good heart”.

      I worked for a medium sized refrigeration contractor company. The owner’s son was a massive opiate and coke addict and kept stealing equipment, embezzling and had no less than 2 ODs on company property.

      The second time I was tasked to bring him his new phone in the hospital as he had sold his original one for the drugs he overdosed on.

      I sat there and synched it up to his SIM and got to watch all the texts from his family pour in

      All about ‘our little druggie boy’ and wishing him quick recovery and the most gentle and humorous of chiding

      Two weeks before they had fired my friend, a single father, for testing positive for weed

      Guess who the owner voted for
