DID NOT FINISH: 22%

Can't concentrate and too much profanity ruins flow for me (can't stomach it for personal reasons).

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mystal’s evisceration of some of the worst laws on our books, and why we should repeal them. His analysis really uncovers the lack of logic and reasoning behind the foundation of these laws and prompts us to think about why they are there in the first place (hint: racism and misogyny).

"The law is not an accident. It is a plan. It is written with intentionality by people who want to shape society in one way or another. In our society, that shape is distorted to benefit a ruling class of white male elites and the industries and opportunities those elites control."

Loved this. Extremely educational, shot through with righteous fury, and really damn funny in many places. Elie Mystal is a very, very fun read and I adore his snarky, unapologetic style.
