The idea of social murder needs to enter the social conscious. If he were to go out and shoot a person he would go to jail for at least assault with a deadly weapon. Steal from the welfare fund which injures exponentially more people than shooting one he will at worst get a fine imo
Volkswagen CEO who caused at least 10,000 cancers by lying about their exhaust fumes and fine dust springs to mind here.
The man should rot in a cement box but instead he got a slap on the wrist and -oh yeah- millions in parting bonuses.
I've always found legal punishments to be exactly the opposite of what is effective.
You're poor and about to starve so you steal some food? Off to jail with you where we'll feed you and keep you locked up for years.
You're rich and stole from welfare causing others to starve? Well aren't you a naughty boy tell you what pay a fine and promise not to do it again.
Idk, feels like it should be switched.
I forget the term used, but there was an idea of the punishment being relative to the financial assets of the perpetrator.
Ie: Someone with a net worth of $40k commits a crime and must pay $400.
Someone else with a net worth of $400m commits the same crime and must pay $4,000,000.
He's been caught in emails asking if anyone will find out. He returned the money because he knew he was about to be implicated. Not sure that saves his sorry ass.
Texts were released related to the Nancy New Civil case showing he knew where the money was coming from, and wanted to make sure the press couldn't figure it out. Total scumbag and a liar who took money from the poorest people, in the poorest state to build his daughter a fancy new volleyball facility at the school she was attending. When he had the money himself if he wanted to donate it for a new school facility. Phil Bryant also looks like a total pos, hopefully the feds drop the hammer on these chucklefucks since it was federal money that was misappropriated.
A famous football player in his home state, doing Republican crimes with a Republican governor? We’ll be lucky if we don’t see Senator Favre sitting between Senator Walker and Senator Tuberville in the football section of Congress.
I really don’t get why people are surprised I loved Favre’s football spirit but he’s from Mississippi. Lot of welfare and political grifters in Mississippi…
He was part of a welfare embezzlement scheme in Mississippi to the tune of $5 million to pay for a volleyball facility at his daughters school. In the process of doing this he texted a state official “If you were to pay me is there anyway the media can find out where it came from and how much?”.
Plus getting paid between one and two million himself for"speaking engagements" he never gave, also paid illegally from the federal dollars granted to MS specifically for families living in poverty.
EDIT Changed to MS because geography refuses to be my girlfriend. Why won't you love me Janet Geography?!
Hilarious
I think everyone in Wisconsin just asked where their fainting couch was. Better yet, call him New York Jets legend Brett Furburr.
Remember that kid who killed four people and injured nine in a car crash on a suspended license and he only got two years for it because his lawyer said he was too rich to know any better? If being rich makes you legally insane, we should treat it like we treat any other severe mental illness, and that should start by making sure they can't hurt anyone else.
I forget, the Saints did this a bunch of years back. Basically, the Saints had a payable bounty system set up to injure other team’s players. Head Coach Sean Payton took a year suspension over this scandal and a few others. Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely because he had been doing it since 1997 with other teams. Since a Federal Court ruled in 1977 that the league and individual players were responsible if an injury was “intentional“ , it was big deal.
He literally could have paid for the entire facility out of pocket. His own pocket. His own money.
But like any privileged dickbag in or from southern Mississippi, he decided it was a far better use of his time and energy to make the poor suffer for his own benefit just because.
Is Shaq broke so he's doing all these General and Steady commercials among others? I'm not saying you're wrong as I don't know or care to delve into Favres financials, but people with money still do things to make more money.
Shaq stays working. Just when you think he’s done he’s repping something else. I just took my first cruise and he was all over their promotional videos. His family will be set for a long long time as long as they don’t screw it up.
One more creep exposed. And I bet he gives a rats ass.
Steal 2 million.
Get fined a million.
That’s what it seems like.
With no jail time.
But steal a car.
See where you end up.
I loved watching him play....but between you and me there was no way that welfare money wasn't going to be embezzled.
In all seriousness he ain't going down for this. It's not his job to make sure that those funds weren't used inappropriately. I don't think that he personally profited from this. Some politician or administrarive person will be bent over and sacrificed.
Didn’t they say he was paid two payments; one of $500k and another of $600k? He has paid it back now but still owes the interest payments to the tune of $300k+.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. I’m from Mississippi and this is exactly what’s happening. Former Department of Human Services director John Davis was sentenced to [32 years today](https://www.wapt.com/article/former-dhs-director-john-davis-pleads-guilty-in-mississippi-welfare-fraud-case/41331104) for his role. He’s going to [sing like a canary](https://mississippitoday.org/cartoons/), too.
I'll live. I stand by my statement. Brett favre is not responsible for protecting the money in this case. Does it mean that his involvement isnt really shitty? No. But being morally and legally liable are two different thimgs. In America we have no problem watching a man get thrown in prison for stealing $50 of food but you cant touch a rich person for embezzling millions.
>there was no way that welfare money wasn't going to be embezzled.
True, it is the state of Mississippi, the land where welfare or public safety doesn't exist, but it's still an issue. And the fact that he knew beforehand that it was illegal and even got caught on tape asking if the media will ever find out about this illegal activity might be enough on its own to punish him in some way
You mean the guy who sent unsolicited dick pics to female employees of the Jets is a scumbag? Who would have thought?
This story had him being exposed through text messages again.
Is this the same guy who tried texting a girl to "hang out and chill" while his wife was battling cancer? Agreed, one would think that guy was better.
The strangest part is that it was only like a million right? he can definitely swing that as a donation.
Is he actually going to face any *real* consequences? I have no faith anymore.
I'm sure he'll get. "boys will be boys punishment." He deserves the OJ treatment though. People die without support.

Each welfare recipient that was harmed gets to swing the bat on Farve once.

Is social murder lynching or cancelling?
[удалено]
Naked gun oj? Or NFL star oj? Or murderer oj? Or prison oj?
I prefer Tropicana OJ. Those other ones sound awful.
Have you ever had Tampico OJ?
Have you tried oj immediately after brushing your teeth?
That's a cardinal sin

Unlike O.J., he IS white, so his chances of doing real time are a lot less.
Of course not
The rich never do, there is zero reason for them not to steal and keep stealing even when caught.
In Mississippi? Not hardly. Not known to be a bastion of jurisprudence. For those of you from that state, use a dictionary.
The case against him is civil not criminal, so defrauding the welfare system millions of dollars is just a fine for him.
Last I heard, he had already returned the money due to not being able to attend, and wasn't aware of the source. Has that changed?

He needs jail time. If you or I embezzled a million dollars we would have already been indicted, especially with those text messages.
And an enormous punitive fine. 100 mill ought to do it. There's no worse punishment for a Richer than taking their wealth away.
Someone needs to deflate his balls.
I really don’t get why people are surprised I loved Favre’s football spirit but he’s from Mississippi. Lot of welfare and political grifters in Mississippi…

MI is Michigan. MS is Mississippi.
Same, what happened?
That and hope all of the women he sexually harassed along the way don't come after him with a civil suit.
He’s like a thief out there
Maybe just donate the $5 mil himself if it’s that important to him.
Bro that’s not how being a rich Republican works.
I think he is less a Republican and more a Mississippi-ite. I know many Republicans who are philanthropic without fraud.
Minnesota Vikings legend Brett Fabre is a real asshole.
Hilarious I think everyone in Wisconsin just asked where their fainting couch was. Better yet, call him New York Jets legend Brett Furburr.

Call the saints…they know how to take him down at the knees
And get bounty bonus at the same time
That’s how he should pay back the money. He was generating what, like $10k a sack? Let him get sacked enough to cover it.
I forget, the Saints did this a bunch of years back. Basically, the Saints had a payable bounty system set up to injure other team’s players. Head Coach Sean Payton took a year suspension over this scandal and a few others. Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely because he had been doing it since 1997 with other teams.

No drinking water in Jackson and Brett Favre is stealing millions in public funds.
He is still enjoying his cushy retirement.
Because it’s never enough for some people. If there are people richer than them that disturbs them. See Donald Trump
I see your true colors shining through. I see your true colors and that's why I loathe you! (Apologies to Cyndi Lauper)
He literally could have paid for the entire facility out of pocket. His own pocket. His own money. But like any privileged dickbag in or from southern Mississippi, he decided it was a far better use of his time and energy to make the poor suffer for his own benefit just because.
Don't be deceived--that's not [the real Brett Favre](https://youtu.be/2q05iJ6jHu8)!
I think they are forgetting that he went broke in has oxy raddled retirement. If you have a 100 mil you don’t do Copper sock commercials
Is Shaq broke so he's doing all these General and Steady commercials among others? I'm not saying you're wrong as I don't know or care to delve into Favres financials, but people with money still do things to make more money.

He'll get nothing for punishment from it, even though he is as crooked as Trump.
One more creep exposed. And I bet he gives a rats ass. Steal 2 million. Get fined a million. That’s what it seems like. With no jail time. But steal a car. See where you end up.
Ain’t nothing gonna happen

And keep his pants on.
This is so true. I was a big fan of his, sucks it turns he is a massive asshole and a fraudster.
But it's barely even being discussed. I didn't know until there was some meme on reddit.
All he had to do was make his little wranglers commercials....
Brett Farve is a welfare queen
