How can this be possible..Rich teen gets probation after killing 4 in DUI crash (government, federal)

If poverty and it's psychological effects are used as tools to garner empathy....why isn't an affluent lifestyle and it's possible detriments?

this same white judge put a black kid away for 10 years for punching somebody which caused him to die, that kid was 14.

this white 16 year old can drive around high on drugs and booze and kill 4 people, and he gets to go to some swanky rehab facility.

this is the definition of white privilege.

The 14 year old was a violent offender and showed no remorse to the court.

No charges for underage drinking or driving drunk, let me guess he didn't have a license either?

Poor exercise of authority by this judge.

So if this is the definition of "affluenza," wouldn't the cure be jail time? If he committed this crime because of never having had consequences to his actions, why would the punishment be no consequences to his actions?

There is not even any logic in this "sentencing".

Just heard this morning his divorced daddy had bought him his own mansion to live in (unsupervised) and throw regular parties with drugs and alcohol and to do what he wished.

Hey, lets just train up a pit bull to fight and turn it loose on the streets.

I'd bet they have a very nice Umbrella insurance policy in place.

I suspect someone has received quite a substantial deposit in one of their offshore bank accounts.

I don't think so since he cannot be tried for the same crime twice

If black people and white people cannot come together and rise up against the 1%, then we will ALL be thrust into poverty together.

We have to look past race, as race is no longer the issue here. It's the elite class (the rich 1%) against the rest of us (the 99%).

Whites and Blacks will either band together for a revolution in America against the 1% or we will band together in survival mode when we are all thrust into poverty by the 1%. They keep getting richer and we keep getting poorer.

Either way - whites and blacks are going to need to look past race in order to drive any sort of change in the U.S.

If you think the problem is race - then we will continue to be divided and conquered because we cannot fight the real problem which is that the wealthy run this country, have all the freedoms and everybody else works hard and lives paycheck to paycheck.
