Topic: Why don't the RICH go to jail! - page 5. (Read 2791 times)
Just simple Because they are able to pay the police, prosecutors, judges, prison guards in order not to go to jail
Money pays the role, which gives influence
What's that saying? Every man has a price, this includes woman of course.
The rich don't go to jail because there are very few problems on this earth that several million dollars can't solve.
Americas solution to the poor is to lock the problem up and hide it behind Barbed wire and concrete walls.
The country is in bad shape and poor politics are making it worse. Americans keep voting for the same douchebags in office because they can't seem to see outside their political party.
We stick our noses in everyones business, we wage wars based on lies. send money to countries who in turn take a giant crap on us.
Can you name one thing our government does right?

The game prevents you from voting anyone in that would change the system to help the poor...
This study and hundreds of others begs to differ, Taibbi and others are not throwing out bs numbers they can back it up with the evidence. If you disagree with the statement provide your own premise and evidence / studies for the contrary vision of the US justice system.

I read that. There is no evidence to prove that black people who commit murder are in any way more harshly treated than the white people who commit murder. Everyone who commits a crime, whether they are black or white, goes to jail.
Bryant.coleman you say you can't justify murder? I disagree! this guy got what he deserved http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/11/father-kills-man-who-sexually-abused-daughter-texas_n_1587724.html
I'd buy that man a beer.
Violent crime has fallen by 44 percent in America over the past two decades, but during that same period the prison population has more than doubled, skewing heavily black and poor. In essence, poverty itself is being criminalized.
There is no truth in that statement and the quote itself is self-contradictory.
Violent crime has fallen by 44 percent, because a large part of the criminals are behind the bars. And racism / poverty arguments are just silly excuses to justify crimes such as robbery and murder.

There is plenty of evidence to support the statement and simply dismissing it means you haven't been following the studies closely. In Canada the same can be shown for First Nations people as well.
