There's something seriously fucked up with our justice system.
So, I'm sure all of you have heard that the Wendy's finger lady got sentenced to 9 years in jail, right?

Several months ago, my Aunt's sister in law was killed in a car accident. The man was not drunk, he had a suspended licence, and he knew that the breaks on his car were not working right. And guess what? The bastard gets only 18 months.

I guess in America, a cooperation's money is worth more than a human life, huh? :banghead: :grr: :nuke:

3. Nine years was an excessive sentence.
I'm sorry about the driver who killed your relative. He should have gotten more.

4. Pretty much every system we have in this country is
really fucked up right now.
Our governor's 16 year old son ran a stop sign a couple years ago and killed 2 older folks. Believe he got a suspanded sentence for running the stop sign. Didn't lose his license or get charged with anything else.

5. The 9 year sentence was to protect aHUGE CORPORATION!!!
Get it NOW?

The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

9. We have the best justice system that money can buy.
We also have the best government that money can buy.

Sad, but true.
