So MSNBC breaking news includes a bank robbery in Maryland where the robbers
were shot and/or chased and corraled.... These people are dangerous, stole money. OK, I agree. But how come the police are not putting in jail the Wall Street thieves who stole American's economic life and ruined millions of people? Why there is no outcry from the media whores about this high crime? I am so fed up with this stuff.

1. And there you have it
Little crooks, big punishment.

Big crooks, no punishment.

As one ancient Chinese philosopher put it, if you break into someone's house, slaughter the inhabitants, and take their possessions, you're a dangerous criminal.

If you're a ruler who invades another country, slaughters its inhabitants, and takes its wealth, you're a national hero.

So someone who carries out a home invasion will rightfully be punished by the criminal justice system. Someone who starts a war on purpose will get to retire quietly to Paraguay.

3. They gave that loads of coverage
They showed us Bush and Paulsen laughing at all the taxpayers.

4. Another fine example of class warfare. Wall street, AIG stealing money no news.
Two people robbing a bank, OH, MY!
