…because his family is….wait for it….the wealthy one percent.
He sounds like a holy terror. I feel sorry for anyone who gets in his way, because obviously no one is going to hold him accountable for his actions.
I disagree with the “if this kid were black” theme….if this kid were poor, yes, you would have me in complete agreement. But I’m not certain that if this were a black kid from a wealthy family, he would be put in jail. The wealthy have connections that poor folks don’t.
But this isn’t the only thing rich kids get away with–they also abuse drugs and are not sent to prison (there I would agree that black folk are unfairly sent to prison when white kids are doing the same thing). And, as this story also illustrates, they can get away with sexual misconduct.
Like the blogger says–there’s a different set of rules for some Americans. And Lady Justice is no longer blind in the eyes of justice….but serving the highest bidder.

My husband and I watched the news video’s on this in absolute disbelief. In fact, he came home and went to the computer saying “you’re not going to believe what I heard on the radio. Let me google it first to see if it was a joke.” Scary, absolutely enraging, eye opening….what can you even say. We sat there kind of speechless at first. I think we all know that the elite are priveliged, but it’s the flagrancy of the justice system now that’s scary. It’s as if to say, “yes, the wealthy ARE treated differently and there is nothing you can do about it.” This is the stuff revolutions are built on. I think this is the longest comment I’ve ever posted 🙂
