Justice

[The Straight Story]

Kill someone. Go to jail.

Beat someone up. Go to jail.

Abuse, shoplifting, drugs, etc and so on - you do something wrong or are a part of it, you go to jail.

Unless you are in the government, wealthy, or an officer of a big company.

At which point we hear 'We need to look forward', 'Too big to fail', 'Might impact too many people so let's move on', etc.

Justice is supposed to be blind - appears though it is eyes wide open when it comes to SOME.

If I had tortured my neighbor, blew up part of my hood trying to stop some bad guy, etc, my ass would be carted off to jail. Do the same as a government official - well then it is ok. Have bad credit and need a loan to get out of trouble - screwed if you are the little guy over your credit score. A big bank which has made huge errors, well here, take our money.

Need health care? Well then become a politician or ceo and it will be given to you - if you are not one of them, or in the military or government job, then it is your own fault you do not have it and don't expect anyone to hand it to you. Might cost too much.

Seems like there are a different set of rules for people depending on your wealth or for whom you work. And when folks want to level the playing field we are the ones with issues...

justice. It is for the little people. Others can get by without it.

Why?
