    Rich people basically own the police. The police main purpose in capitalism is to uphold class separation not serve for what is lawful or right.

        Correction #1: rich assholes don’t care.

        Correction #2: rich assholes already diddle their own kids.

        As for the rest of us, we are decent human beings.

    Because laws are made by the rich for the rich?

    Think about all the laws which have monetary punishment. For someone with enough money it’s a license to not comply with these laws.

    In most places the monetary punishment goes equal to everyone not caring if they have no money or they are billionaires.

          Agreed, and furthermore, it shouldn’t matter at all. If the worst Russian Intelligence can do is use real evidence to prove a crime was committed, that’s an easily solvable problem both by not committing crimes and by prosecuting crimes committed with transparent, due process.

          It really is a very silly argument.

          “Your honor, in my defense, the guy who saw me shoot the victim, called the police, and submitted some of the damning evidence to them was a known mafia member, untrustworthy, and had committed crimes against me in the past.”

          “Okay, and what do you have to say about all of this other corroborated evidence from trustworthy sources?”

          “Well they wouldn’t have found it if he hadn’t pointed it out!”

          I don’t think he was a Russian spy, but I am also sure that it’s irrelevant.

          It’s only believed by the same people that already that he was a traitor to the USA and should be in prison. The people that rightfully consider him a hero haven’t changed their beliefs

      it goes beyond that.

      yes, it’s true that the rich got off free for doing the crimes that poor people get punished for in our legal system; but pedophilia carries a social stigma with it that other crimes don’t have and these people were so confidant that the our legal system was going to protect them that they were being open about their pedophilia … on gmail!!!

      they’re so mustache-twirly evil that they’re making comments about newborns tasting like cream cheese.

        I understand how you feel. I’m also extremely mad at all of this. And how these sick evil fucks have been completely manipulating the world and our lives and making us all miserable at the same time.

        There are simply no words to describe how fucked up this all is. I would love to see all these people get what they deserve: years of torture and pain and a slow agonizing death.

        This need a worldwide level revolution but we’re all so stuck in this capitalist system trying to survive it’s near impossible to do.

        The average person doesn’t have power to put someone in jail. That’s what the courts are for, and lawmakers care far more about money than doing right for the American people.

    The simple answer is it’s because western liberal regimes are not democracies. A system where you have one set of laws for regular people, and another for the affluent is a plutocracy.

      the witnesses and victims would have been falling out of windows if they were russian; but they’re westerners so they’re hit by buses; experience random car crashes; become terminally ill; etc.

      If it sounds like a pedophile sympathizer  walks like a pedophile sympathiser then its definitely a pedophile sympathiser. Call the cops on him now to monitor his online activity and travel movements.

    Is your liberalism no longer making sense? Lofty promises of justice for all, equality and all that turning out to be a big farce with those at the top openly doing the most horrendous crimes and just getting away with them in a way that leaves you seething and wondering ‘what about justice’?

    Try old time original Marxism (fortified with Leninism for clarity and taste) today!

    Turns out that stuff they were talking about a hundred years ago is still true today and the old brand promise still holds true!

    Not ready to check out just yet? Still nervous about Marxism? That’s alright. As economic conditions worsen, your buying power lessens, and you’re given the shaft in the work-place and an empty wallet at the grocery and/or electronics store you can always remember this fine product and revisit when you’re ready!

    When all other solutions have failed, when liberal and social democrat reform turns out to be a dud, remember there’s original strength Marxism (fortified with Leninism). We’ll be waiting for you.

    The level of “endogamy” within the rich and powerful is definitely slowing things up. We have strong evidence that these people are all at least acquaintance if not friends. It may not be great for your career to investigate/prosecute top level politicians and billionaires. Actually the positive of the documents release is that people see it.

    Then a big factor is that being invited to a party where children have been rape doesn’t prove you partake to the rapes or even have been aware of it.

    Finally, money means that you can afford a lawyer slowing things down by writing various requests to the court. Your lawyer will tell you to save your money and do the necessarà/efficient one. But for people with virtually infinite money, a team of lawyer can slow down the things
