Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder Pleads Not Guilty To Charges In Flint Water Crisis | Hallie Jackson

Rick Snyder covered up his crimes and is finally being charged.

The punishment is weak, however. One year in jail is pathetic.

People died because of his actions.

[ziploc]

He deserves more than a year in jail for his deliberate inaction that led to 12 deaths. That is an insult to those that died.

[davekostka]

Prayers to those Michiganders that were affected.

[joyicechase]

He did nothing to help the people of flint because he felt it would cost to much money for the state and 12 people died cause of him...
He needs to go to jail!!!

[TheZenGarden_]

So you get one year and a thousand dollar fine for negligence that lead to countless health issues and even the death of 12 people so far?? 🙄

[flangekiwi]

The World is watching this story.
Michael Moore told us👍🏾

[charlesbombaugh]

MICHIGAN VOTED WOMEN INTO POWER AND THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT

[SALESPRODUCTIONS]

A misdemeanor. Not kidding. After poisoning hundred of children for life.

[judykinsman]

Time for people who are responsible for death & destruction to others be held criminally responsible. Even those who have no conscience or integrity.

[slappywag]

Who could forget.Why does this guy even still have a job

[Grislythrone]

only a year and 1k fine?!!!! are u kidding!!

[taralyamcdonough]

How many years does it take to hold a politician accountable for their actions. Our two tiered justice system is terrible! 2 misdemeanors, that’s ridiculously weak!

[blocou]

What a joke, 1 year in prison and $1, 000 fine. Where is the justice ?

[mimIsra]

He is only going to get to serve only 1yr and pay 1, 000 dollars in fines after 12 people died if convicted that is so sad to hear. 😩

[haroldharris]

Good hold them accountable for their actions.

[bobby-ovqn]

How did Obama plea? “Somebody bring me a glass of 💦 “

[helveticaification]

What paltry penalties for such potentially major offences.

[marilyno]

Why is he pleading "not guilty?" He simply should be pleading for mercy. Come clean and be accountable please !!! Enough is enough, is enough !!!

[estherm]

He is responsible/guilty. About time!!! He was complicit in this.

[rgwak]

Before looking it up, gonna guess Snyder is a republican.
**checks wikipedia**
Yup.
