    Neither the original post nor my comment is discussing the trend of wealth elites getting away with criming.

    The OP is an anecdote of someone very clearly not getting away with something being used as an example of how people get away with things. Of all the examples in the world of wealthy elites getting away with things, using Hunter not getting a plea deal as an example was a choice so poor it edges on satire.

      Even with everything that happenes here he’s a son of a privileged elite. This is just a show, he’ll get off with a slap on the wrist if anything, Just like all the other times.

      This is exploding-heads. We look at the mass corruption in the system every day and we see it in action. It’s that context under which you need to understand such a post. Reality right now is a giant black pill, and even if it looks like something is getting better it’s usually just a lie meant to placate people.
