Is this a double standard . . .?

~~It's sickening!! If you commit a white collar crime in this country you get a slap on the hand, or the very worse scenario, prison time at an elite prison where they are still treated like royalty.

Rob a liquor store and you are quickly put behind bars, and sharing one toilet.

The double standards in this country are intolerable!~~

These are times when the genuine compassion of our justice system is demonstrated. It often appears in cases where I wish I could do something awful to the accused even before there has been a trial. I can understand why they used all the kinds of things they did 12 or 14 hundred years ago. I remember the king whose head was encased so no one could see him and he was kept in a dungeon. I also liked the public stocks used in the early colonies where people were exposed to public contempt. That's what motivated our founders to do better by the accused. I agree with Apollyon - in prison he would be dead meat - which in my view is too easy. I hope he is tried publically so that everyone in the world knows his face, that he is convicted quickly and justly, that he stripped of every penny he has, then he is placed on probation and put out to make his way in the world. I think he needs to experience the life he imposed on others finally, homeless and on the streets with the choice to live or die by his own hand. I hope his accomplices receive an equivalent justice.

I'll accept the "romantic" label. However, over time Madoff will fail in the same way on the street. What will happen when some of the street people have to deal with his ripping them off. I'd like to be around then. I agree he has the smarts to do it again. He does not have the skill of old character disorders who could steal the shirt off your back and have you like it.

There is a case against him. There is evidence against him or he wouldn't be punished at all. How is it that they can put a bracelet on him and restrict him if there is no case. He could be waiting in jail. If he gets killed then it's his fault for being a greedy liar.

i trust you one hundred%. although, the michael richards incident isn't something. inspect each and every of the fuss the media drummed up over the don imus commentary. all he did became into call them a attractiveness and it became headline information for weeks. yet on an analogous time, a youthful white couple became into carjacked by ability of four blacks. the extra youthful female became into compelled to observe as they murdered her boyfriend and decrease his penis off. then for days, the female became into many times raped, sodomized, and tortured. in the tip, the blacks poured bleach down her throat to spoil all d.n.a. info, then they decrease her breasts off and strangled her and set her physique on hearth and the media refused to checklist it.

With enough money you can get by with anything and the rich are the ones that write these rules.

1. There is no case against him, if you knew the basics of law you'd know that.

2. No, he cant go to jail, he would be murdered INSTANTLY

Yes it is. "justice stinks"
