Topic: Influence and money can get you out of manslaughter

Kid and his friends stole some alcohol, got drunk, got in a vehicle and then killed 4 pedestrians.  What did the Texas judge give him?  10 years probation.

Which goes to prove, when you have money and influence, you can buy a Texas judge.

Some of us on the right wing wanted the death penalty for theft

but OH NO CIVILIZATION etc

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

When we allow bad judges never to be impeached, this happens

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!
Kemp currently not being responded to until he makes CONCISE posts.
Avogardo and Noir ignored by me for life so people know why I do not respond to them. (Informational)

Re: Influence and money can get you out of manslaughter

This has nothing to do with left or right. Big money owns all the big politicians (and the judges they appoint) on both sides.

We didn't get to this point of 17 trillion in debt and open corruption and theft (bail-outs, endless Fed printing) because one party is evil and the good party couldn't stop them.

The corruption would be harder to maintain if those engaged in it didn't get favors from one another. The deals wouldn't be as sweet. And, by-and-large, the American people are obviously so apathetic and unaware that the vast majority of cases like this go without national attention. It's only rational they make use of all we let them get away with.

For every case like this there's a thousand city managers making near a million a year. They get away with it. So they keep doing it. Nobody cares.
