Several years ago I posted a story about a DuPont heir who was found guilty of raping infants. The judge sentenced him to probation, because the DuPont "isn't the kind of man who would do well in prison." Right, and the rest of us do just great there. Then of course there's the famous "affluenza" teen. These are the norm, not isolated cases.
The one issue where the Left with its push for "equality" could have a point (if they weren't stupid about it) is equality before the law. It's certainly true that people with deep pockets and connections can dodge the law entirely or get away with much lighter sentences than the rest of us. "All men are created equal" was intended to mean or ought to mean equality before the law, not with respect to economic or social outcome. One way to help achieve equality before the law would be (for instance) requiring all high-power criminal defense attorneys like Dershowitz to do a certain number of public defense cases each year, so that it isn't just the Epsteins of the world who get star attorneys (or, alternatively, requiring all criminal defense attorneys to work for the state just as prosecuting attorneys do).
However, liberals pervert what should be a valid issue by turning it into a racial one, with ludicrous statements such as "blacks can't get justice" when it isn't about race at all. OJ did just fine at dodging the law, and Bill Cosby got a good run of it too for quite some time. The common denominator is wealth, influence, and connections.
