in the US there is always racial aspect to this. if this was a person of color and crime was selling some shit drugs on the streets, the same commenter would be like “life in prison without parole.” but for cute white blondie it is “eh put her on house arrest, she is no danger to society” :)
Is there? Here the sentiment seems to be arguing fiercely to reinforce the incarceration of a blonde white because she defrauded. Even if the victims she defrauded were despicable elites. She's not getting a pass, at all. No robin hood here.
Then we have the drive to decriminalize drugs, driven by all citizen groups, but which mostly affects minorities only.
Aren't things moving in the right direction, at least?
