"Affluenza" sentence vs. sentence for 14 y.o. black teen for participating in a robbery

[RVN VET]

30. Someone here cited "negrabetes"

as a counterpart to "affluenza" -- I hope to see it used, along with pauperitis and impoverishosis. All 3 conditions are at least as compelling as what kept the rich kid out of jail.

But even without affluenza, the 1% can run you down like a dog and leave you dying in the road -- and still get nothing but wrist-slapped by the so-called justice system of the USA. Lenny Bruce was so damned right, "In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls." The only thing he left out was, in the halls justice is dispensed at concession stands, and the cost is "more than you can afford."

But this is why 5,000 of us died in Iraq, another 3,000 in Afghanistan, and 55,000 in Vietnam. To keep America safe for the spoiled rich kids and cold blooded, heartless rich adults -- who, themselves, do not deign to serve in uniform, of course. They all have "other priorities."
