Why don't the RICH go to jail!

The Justice Gap
‘The Divide,’ by Matt Taibbi

Violent crime has fallen by 44 percent in America over the past two decades, but during that same period the prison population has more than doubled, skewing heavily black and poor. In essence, poverty itself is being criminalized.

There is no truth in that statement and the quote itself is self-contradictory.

Violent crime has fallen by 44 percent, because a large part of the criminals are behind the bars. And racism / poverty arguments are just silly excuses to justify crimes such as robbery and murder.

This study and hundreds of others begs to differ, Taibbi and others are not throwing out bs numbers they can back it up with the evidence. If you disagree with the statement provide your own premise and evidence / studies for the contrary vision of the US justice system.

There is plenty of evidence to support the statement and simply dismissing it means you haven't been following the studies closely. In Canada the same can be shown for First Nations people as well.

I read that. There is no evidence to prove that black people who commit murder are in any way more harshly treated than the white people who commit murder. Everyone who commits a crime, whether they are black or white, goes to jail.

Bryant.coleman you say you can't justify murder?  I disagree! this guy got what he deserved http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/11/father-kills-man-who-sexually-abused-daughter-texas_n_1587724.html

I'd buy that man a beer.

Americas solution to the poor is to lock the problem up and hide it behind Barbed wire and concrete walls.

The country is in bad shape and poor politics are making it worse. Americans keep voting for the same douchebags in office because they can't seem to see outside their political party.

We stick our noses in everyones business, we wage wars based on lies. send money to countries who in turn take a giant crap on us.

Can you name one thing our government does right?

The game prevents you from voting anyone in that would change the system to help  the poor...

What's that saying?  Every man has a price,  this includes woman of course.

Money pays the role, which gives influence

Just simple Because they are able to pay the police, prosecutors, judges, prison guards in order not to go to jail

Or may be because they are so rich, that they don't need to do any crime. They have money, so they don't have to rob. They have access to women, so they don't have to rape. I am not saying that everyone who is not having money would rob. But just saying that all robbers will be the ones who feel they don't have enough money with them.

[Lauda]

Because money can buy everything.

Easy, the world is run by cabals around the world and if your on there side of the appartite wall you can do what the hell youbwant. This is how they get people to do there bidding, they offer them a better life with no restrictions. 90% of people sadly would jump at this false opertunity and that's why we are where we are today.

A few criminal gangs colluding together to control the population through msm, schooling, work(slavery) etc etc and you all play along thinking that everything going be OK when your all sheep walking to your graves!

Its a financial appartite wall now as people believe fiat currency is actually worth more than the paper its printed on! Remember the devil as many tricks to lore you away from the truth but deep down, were all spirits and have the truth within! You just need to realise it and you will truely see the hell on earth we have created and why it persists! Because of ignorant sheeple like yourself who can't think critically themselves without emotion blinding them!

And there's lies the answer to your question!

Actually rich people do go to jail when richer people want them to 

[jodybay]

just because they have a lot of money to cover up their self

LOL ~ That's true 

Even for a straight guy to turn gay

[Kiki112]

because they pay out their bail or bribe someone

[bryant.coleman]

Actually rich people do go to jail when richer people want them to 

So when OJ Simpson went to jail, who were the richer people who wanted that to happen?

[bryant.coleman]

Technically he went to jail but as you can see he got away with a double murder because he bought the best lawyers.

Hmm... yes... I agree about that. But right now he is rotting in jail.

However, he has requested Obama to pardon him:

[techgeek]

Its called money = power = corrupted lawyers/judges.

[roslinpl]

Actually rich people do go to jail when richer people want them to 

lmao great point and very true.

Well I would say - IMO -if you want to risk your freedom for any amount of  cash ... you are mad man
It is better to eat a bread and drink a water than go to the jail my friend. But I know many people do not mind to go there...
