1. Well, I guess if you are rich and you kill and permanently injure rich people while drunk driving

then you are held to account not so much if you kill a poor person.

"In 1989, her (Alice Walton) vehicle struck and killed a woman who was walking in traffic on Arkansas 265 in the state's northwest. Walton was not cited and police said she wasn't at fault in the accident." ....she wasn't at fault???? What did the now dead poor woman commit suicide?????

"Alice Walton, the billionaire daughter of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. founder Sam Walton, has had a 2011 arrest in Texas for suspected drunken driving cleared from her record after prosecutors declined to press formal charges."

AND she got the poor guy who gave her a DUI ticket fired.

"Tom Vinger, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said the trooper who arrested Walton was suspended in March for alleged misconduct and hadn't returned to duty, and was thus unavailable to testify in Walton's case."

Capitalism turning justice into a commodity just ask Clarence Thomas and Brett.
