Spoiled rich white kid kills 4 drunk driving gets no jail time

[Hayabusa Rider]

Difference, OJ and GZ found not guilty because lack of evidence to convict.

This kid was found guilty but because his parents are so rich and privileged they didn't teach him right from wrong and he is not responsible so no jail. BTW - something most people here decry for inner city crime.

Key word is rich. I know you hate white people, but it's money which talks. As far as inner city crime you don't have to like it but the inner city sucks and so does it's crime rate and so does the culture that goes with it.

 

[Agent11]

There should be an independent investigation of the prosecutor and judge, retrial if the evidence warrants such.

 

[SheHateMe]

Wow. That's a huge slap in the face to the victims of this kid. They stole beer, got drunk, and killed 4 people and he gets to go to a $450,000/yr "rehab" facility.


10 years probation my butt, that is not fair. He basically got a free pass.

 

[Geosurface]

For those who still claim white privilege doesn't exist get a load of this...

Do you know of any white privilege repair facilities? I know some people whose white privilege seems to be malfunctioning...

such as Couch's victims and their families:

or Ron Goldman, Nicole Brown Simpson, and their families...

I assure you, the families of all these victims were none too pleased when the rich killers got off scott free. But apparently their white privilege wasn't sufficient to get their desired legal outcome, which also happened to be the appropriate legal outcome. And no, OJ wasn't found not guilty due to a lack of evidence. The evidence of his guilt was actually overwhelming. You should really look into that case again.

OJ was found not guilty due to wealth privilege, fame privilege, and I guess you could possibly argue black privilege in the sense that his jury was 9 out of 12 black and they were receptive to ludicrous arguments based on race which were concocted by OJ's defense team specifically to appeal to them.

This Eric Couch kid seems to have benefited from wealth privilege, youth privilege, and being in a state which apparently has a track record for these sort of lenient sentences with regard to this particular type of crime...

 

[SheHateMe]

Oh, those 6 people prove that privilege does not exist! Welp, that settles it. If Eric looked different and came from a poorer background, Eric would have gotten the maximum sentence for his crime...or something close to it.


Lets recap here, the kid dodged a possible 20 year sentence for what he did because he has "Affluenza". So, when you have "Affluenza" you are able to:

• Steal Alcohol from a store
• Drive under the influence of said Alcohol (at 3x the legal limit!)
• Kill 4 people
• Claim that you don't know right from wrong cause mommy and daddy were too busy to teach you
• Have a judge agree with this
• Get sentenced instead to 10 years probation and a lovely vacation to a 450K/yr "rehab" paradise.

Well given that the OP though the story of one person proved that privilege does exist...

Clearly six trumps one

Ted Kennedy got a much better deal.

I didn't say it doesn't exist.

I agree it exists, and I see no problem with it.

 

[Wreckem]

On what basis? The prosecutors sought max sentence and there is no evidence of a quid pro quo with the judge. This righteous indignation over this case is comical. Like my previous post said this isn't the first or the last time someone will get 10 years probation for this. Sentences like this will continue for as long as the legislature has set the minimum to 10 years probation.

 

[SheHateMe]

Of course you don't. You're a white nationalist. You've said it several times.

White privilege is OK, but its a problem when minorities get things you folks don't think we should be allowed to have.

 

[brandonb]

So in today's lesson we all learn that life isn't fair.

Sometimes you get the short end of the stick. Sometimes you don't.

I could point out plenty of things in which "white privilege" ends up being a detriment. But it all goes back to my first sentence. But hey. Lets all jump on board the "hate whites" bandwagon. There isn't enough of that going on.

The fact of the matter is almost no one gets the max prison sentence for this and those that do are usually repeat offenders. In Texas 10 years probation is actually far more common than getting the max sentence. Plenty of people have received the same sentence including adults and minorities. Media fails to do its research on Texas intoxicated manslaughter cases. Instead they sensationalize the case and say its the privilege of wealth or being white.

The average sentence for an adult convicted of this crime in Texas is in the 5-10 range if they plead guilty. Closer to 15 if they go to trial.

Kid should have gotten sentenced to a juvenile facility until 21 and then have to serve 10 years under community supervision. However the judge has discretion to give any lawful sentence and the sentence given is lawful under Texas law.

 

[Engineer]

Putting the kid in jail is really the only appropriate thing to do in cases like this. He's not going to learn a fucking thing except "money gets you out of trouble" by getting probation for killing 4 people...20-life MIGHT cure his severe case of affluenza.



The kid really needs a wake-up call...and having his hands slapped ain't gonna do it.

Sometimes it isn't about rehabilitation...it's about punishment for actions.

This x 1000. Kid needs to rot in jail, period.

That may be cool in Texas to be able to do that and get a slap on the wrist, but I hope the families sue the pants off this kid's parents for wrongful death. They definitely have a case.

But hey. Lets all jump on board the "hate whites" bandwagon. There isn't enough of that going on.

Oh gosh, I didn't understand the plight of the majority white posters on ATPN until I read this post. We have to do something about this!

Apparently the only thing you understand is that whitey is the reason why your life is miserable, and all other minorities as well.

Instead of being a victim, why don't you do something productive with your life? Nobody is a victim. When you drop the bullshit, you will be able to move on and improve your life. You know what I'm saying???

 

[SheHateMe]

Apparently.

Like I told Geo and Spatial, don't assume things. My life is awesome, no thanks to any of you on this forum. Don't pretend to be so important.


Kthanx.

LOL. Sorry, do I know you? Do you know me? How do you know what I'm doing with my life?

Oh, thats right, you don't.

 

[kage69]

That is fucked up, but not about race. This is about money and family connections. Just another sad case proving that there is a separate notion of justice if one or more of the parties involved is extremely wealthy or connected. Had he come from poverty or some run of the mill middle class background, my money would be on the verdict being far different. White people get the book thrown at them all the time, but that's not to say there is a extremely lopsided number of incarcerated blacks, many of them there for minor offenses.


The legal system in this country definitely needs work. I can't imagine the seething rage the victims families are experiencing.

I agree with Boomer. That spoiled little bitch deserves some serious jail time. I talking chain gang like jail time. Hard labor for the rest of his sentence, if not life.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Little

After leaving a birthday party in 1998, Little crashed into and killed Susan Gutweiler in St. Louis, Missouri. When tested, his blood alcohol level measured 0.19 percent, a level in excess of the statutory level of intoxication (0.08) in the state of Missouri. Little received four years probation and 1,000 hours of community service.

Black privilege?

He's probably chilling, playing XboxOne as we speak. Or taking photos of the delicious holiday leftovers he gets to enjoy while the person(s) he killed get prepped for burial.

It's all good. Not a big deal, people are born everyday.....not a huge loss, right? What's important is that Eric gets the help he needs for his "Afluenza".

Oh, thats right, you don't.

Once you read the book once, you know the story. Every chance you get, you are in these threads being the victim of whites. So yes. I know you very well. I've heard the tune 1000's of times before, and it's the same story. Victims want to blame rather than taking responsibility for their own lives.

And of course it's awesome. You can blame others rather than taking responsibility for yourself. Ignorance is bliss as they say.

 

[Geosurface]

Of course you don't..

I'm talking about all forms of privilege.

I think they're all just natural parts of life.

Whether it's wealth privilege, youth privilege, male privilege/female privilege (depending on the situation), attractiveness privilege, first world privilege, health privilege, 20/20 vision privilege... you name it.

There are a whole host of ways that any given person's life may be better than the lives of others. It's just the nature of life.

And yes, one of those ways is that you benefit from being part of the largest/founding ethnic group in a particular society. There's a lot of Japanese privilege in Japan and Iranian privilege in Iran and the list goes on and on...

I just don't see how any of these bare facts of how life works are a problem or need to be changed. We don't live in a perfect or fair world, never have, never will.

1) ME personally? No.
2) You don't.
3) Cool story bro
4)Show me where I have claimed that I have been personally held back in my career and my education because of it?

You can blame others rather than taking responsibility for yourself.

Yea, when/where did I do that?



Fyi, I graduate from Michigan State University on Saturday and I am starting work in DC on Monday.


You have no clue what you're talking about. Stop lying to yourself.

 

[SheHateMe]

So, you think what happened here is "natural"? That the legal team for this brat could make up a condition for what he did and sell a judge on it?


What is "natural" about this? If it were natural, you or I could do the same thing and expect a similar result. Instead, I'd bank that the very mention of some made up psychological issue in court would get you a lot of laughs.

Who paid for your tuition, you, your family, or the tax payer? I don't expect you to answer truthfully.

 

[SheHateMe]

Who paid for your tuition, you, your family, or the tax payer? I don't expect you to answer truthfully.

80% of it - The school.
The rest? - ME.

Student loans aren't "free". Idiot. I love how you threw "the taxpayer" in there to make it seem like I'm getting a handout. haha, I actually paid back a direct loan from my University (for $900) yesterday.

Btw, I'm a taxpayer as well and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

I don't expect you to answer truthfully.

Try again.
