    Some catapulted into the spotlight may wish they'd stayed in the shadows. Take, for example, “Gary from Chicago.”http://nyti.ms/2mugGnc

        It sounds like Roman Polanski and Mel Gibson have committed worse crimes than Gary.

        Casey Affleck allegedly sexually harassed women and he was feted at the #Oscars too. Let #GaryFromChicago enjoy his new freedom @nytimes

        Gary spent 20 fucking years in prison for stealing perfume. That is the real back story--the jacked state of crim. "justice" in US

        ...It's also funny how Affleck won an award, and was celebrated. He has a past also.

        Easy to pigeonhole convicts as horrible humans. More often, they are humans who made bad decisions. I'm sure Gary is a good example

        what's sad is that he isn't in public office; yet he's derided....Mr. ILLEGITIMATE has yet to produce, and he's viable....please.

        continuing to penalize people who have served their time is contrary to reducing recidivism.
