For fucks sake, USA. Do you even want to be free anymore?

This has nothing to do with freedom, the guy owed money by court decision, refused to pay it to his divorced wife, so he got contempt sentence. If you want to get some outrage going, read about civil forfeiture.

I'm already angry about that, thanks :)
