Fuck me. It’s not even an allegory.

Edit: and the police is looking for which law to charge the dancer.

I was looking for that line to quote in a different thread. When googling articles it seems they've updated this to say no charges or arrests will be made, but god damn is that not a dystopian line "police are still determining the appropriate charges to file" AKA "this guy didn't break any law but we're still trying to figure out how to lock him away."

"this guy didn't break any law but we're still trying to figure out how to lock him away."

I mean that's like 90% of US history. Especially for minorities and disenfranchised groups.
