So Bernie Madoff steals (a lot of) money and is hated by everyone. People are happy when they think of him suffering in jail for the rest of his life. An old man in jail for the “rest” of his life. People spit on the thought of him an say ha!
Other “white collar” criminals get the same hatred. The same anger directed towards them For stealing money. Horrible = yes. But not the worst crime in the world.
Michael Vick and his new $100million dollar contract. PLUS endorsements. Applauded. “Yay – he triumphed and overcame hardship and troubles.” Hardship? Troubles caused by HIM. Scientific fact that purposeful animal cruelty leads to violence against humans. Other sports starts accused of assaulting, raping, whatever? Forgiven. As long as their team wins, the “masses” are placated.
I love football. But this is BS.
Society is F’ed up.
