Reply to comment by Politicsboringagain in Iranian couple filmed dancing in Tehran are jailed for 10 years by hugglenugget

Both can be true. Iran can be a shit hole… and America really isn’t a lot better… check out the 82 year old lady jailed for not being able to afford her trash bill… or the lady jailed for feeding some homeless people… both recent in the u.s

I think both of those cases were bullshit too, but how is receiving a citation for an unpaid bill/feeding the homeless even in the same ballpark as going to jail for 10 fucking years for dancing in public.

More on info on the cases referenced:
82 year old woman arrested for unpaid trash bill
Summary: Woman was arrested for unpaid trash bill, bill was paid, charges dropped. No jail/prison term.

78 year old woman arrested for feeding homeless
Summary: Woman was arrested for serving homecooked meals in public park, charges dropped, woman warned not serve meals on public property. No jail/prison term.
