Young Thug is taking a hard line against lawyers after the YSL RICO case ended in the rapper’s favor.
Young thug talks about importance of lawyers in law class
Thugga spoke via FaceTime on Wednesday (November 6) in attorney Brian Steel’s class at Emory Law School in Atlanta.
“I think the justice system can be very bad at times,” Sager tells students in the video below. “You have to always look at it this way, they’re here to put us in jail and you’re here to keep us out of jail.”
“I think it’s important to do our best to help people out,” he continued. “I mean, whose side do you want to be on? Do you want to put people in jail who make mistakes? Because everyone makes mistakes and we’re all human.”
The rioters went on to praise Steele and urge students to follow in his footsteps.
“I feel like we need more people like Brain Steel on this planet, not that,” the rapper continued. “So, I think being a lawyer is very, very, very important. More than anything else. Lawyers and doctors are two of the greatest things ever. You actually help people, and I think that’s God’s work. I Think that everyone of you in that classroom should become a lawyer.
