Could be they judge him on his apparent inability to think through the consequences of his actions. You don't do something like that and expect people not to react to it.

He looks like a seriously tough guy without the face tat. Maybe a career as a bouncer or MMA fighter? At least something to get started. Even with it, if he had training he could find work in the construction trades. They don't care what you look like as long as you can get the work done.

Naw. It's better to blame society. This way you get to do whatever you want while accusing the rest of us of all kinds of "bigoted" behavior. Other fools support will you in your woes and disappointments too. "The bigots won't employ me because of my tattoo, so I have to be on welfare."
Poor baby, you've actually got it made.
Nice lecture. It would have been more effective if the guy had actually played the victim, accused others of being bigots or blamed society. But he never did that, he is putting the blame on himself where it belongs.

There's also the little fact of where he was when he got the tattoo, and why he was there. Convicted felons have a hard enough time re-entering society without offensive tattoos. This guy just doubled-down on his chances of ever getting off welfare. Perhaps he learned something from this, and then again, maybe not.

Plenty of things for these guys to do.

Restaurant back of house, printing, factory floor jobs, mechanics, painting, construction, etc.

Definitely not the President of a Bank or a Judge but plenty of jobs.

He can get that heavy coverage makeup too... like they did to that skull-head guy.

I was just making a nod to the various "(insert here) shamming" that has been going around.

He was serving a prison sentence for committing aggravated robbery with a knife when he got the tattoo. Any other thoughts on why he can't get a job?
