5. The golden rule at work...

His court appearance lasted only 12 minutes and he was not required to enter a plea, since an indictment has not been returned. Prior to the hearing, he sat in the spectator section with his wife and lawyers until his case was called.

If that were a non-elite criminal, his ass would be standing, in shackles, until his case was called. Fuck this.
Two sets of "laws" in America. One set for the elite (practically no accountability) and for the rest of us....: 0% tolerance...guilty until proven innocent.

Hell yes, if he was a bank robber and stole a couple of thousand dollars, he would be treated worse than a murderer.
Damn, I get so sick of this shit. It makes you want to incorporate and steal everyones money (especially those who can't afford it), no worries...got the stolen money? It'll cost you pennies on the dollar to get out of it.
