The disposition in the high-profile case was announced during The Boss’ arraignment on the three misdemeanor charges stemming from his Nov. 14 arrest at Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook.

“I had two small shots of tequila,” the “Born in the USA” singer admitted in his signature raspy voice during the virtual hearing, as he copped to a single count of drinking in a closed area.

Nothing like a two-tiered justice system.

“ Federal prosecutors, however, dismissed the DWI and reckless driving charges, noting that Springsteen’s blood alcohol content was a measly 0.02 — far below the state’s legal limit while driving of 0.08.”

Then why was he charged at all?!

Either this is a huge injustice or the federal prosecutors have falsified evidence for a political ally.

If it was Gina Carano or Dinesh D’Souza, they would be calling for a firing squad.

Despite being one of the most overrated performers ever, Springsteen is like a god in New Jersey. As such, he is above the law.

Blowing under 0.08 doesn’t clear a driver.

Blowing OVER 0.08 makes it easier to convict on other charges.

Democrats have ‘different laws’.
And if you complain you are ‘racist’.

Apparently he can’t afford a limo driver, designated driver, uber, taxi, or public transportation.
