Since it’s apparently perfectly okay for a complete stranger to say to me:
“You’re so skinny! Don’t you eat?”
Then it stands to reason that must be acceptable for me to respond:
“You’re so fat! Do you ever stop eating?”
I think I’ll try that out. I’ll let you all know how it goes.
If you’ve ever doubted that there are two systems of justice in the United States (one for the rich, one for the rest of us), read this story.
The first sentence sums it up nicely:
A financial manager for wealthy clients will not face felony charges for a hit-and-run because it could jeopardize his job, prosecutors said Thursday.
According to District Attorney, Mark Hurlbert:
“Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger’s profession, and that entered into it,” Hurlbert said. “When you’re talking about restitution, you don’t want to take away his ability to pay.”
This makes me angry on so many levels that I find it difficult to articulate. Click here to sign a petition urging DA Hurlbert not to drop the felony charges against Martin Erzinger.
I’m still looking for the petition to have Mark Hurlbert disbarred and brought up on criminal charges.
It’s interesting to note that this the same District Attorney who did feel that felony charges were warranted
Cheating at bike racing? Class 6 felony!
Running down a respected doctor, father, and husband and leaving him for dead? Misdemeanor.
Yeah, that seems fair and just.
