In reply to the discussion: How Trump is being treated isn't fair [View all]JanLip
(851 posts)16. I hope and pray
That Mr. Brian Hopkins gets elected. He posted a truthful and honest tweet. Its true the difference for the rich and the poor are apparent. Its just not fair how differently people are treated. I grew up poor in the south and have seen it up close. We always say its who you know and who you blow. If you have a lot of money and are well known you get special treatment. The rest of us can just rot in jail. I read a post today that said our justice system is just as bad as our health care system. Nothing could be more true.
Jan. Georgia please elect Mr Hopkins Yall can get rid of large Marge too while youre at it.

It's not just unfairness. It undermines the seriousness of what he is charged with.

It's not just dark, poor or minority. He is being treated different than virtually anyone.
