And justice for the rich, white sportsmen

So, it looks like Wayne Carey is allowed to assault police officers with impunity.
Sorry, I should mention he did get punished – it cost him a $500 donation…
I'm assuming that if he was poor black man who assaulted two of Miami's finest, he also would have got away with no conviction? Or would he have received the 15 year maximum jail term that was on the table?
Hmmm...
(I use both types of argument in this piece: sarcastic AND rhetorical...)

  1. the rich and famous always seem to get off lightly... drink driving charges, tax evasion etc. All with a slap on the wrist and a small fine and told not to be naughty again. If it were you or me it would be a completely different story of course.
