Unequal Justice: HSBC Above Laws, Woman Gets Life Sentence

submitted by radx

1 decade 1 year 6 months 2 weeks ago

There's a two-tier justice system in America.

Need proof? Bankers for HSBC were found guilty of laundering billions of dollars for drug cartels and groups linked to al-Qaeda. Their punishment? Pay a small portion of their billions of profit, and defer bonuses.

Stephanie George received a life sentence without parole in 1997 because her boyfriend stashed half a kilogram of cocaine in her home and she had a couple of previous small-time drug deal on her record.

Cenk Uygur breaks down this ridiculous disparity of justice between the rich and the poor, explaining why we need to change the system. -- TYT

What I like about Cenk is his outrage, even though his analysis is not as articulate as I find elsewhere, such as Democracy Now. There, however, coverage of the same story, while more incisive, was calm and elicited polite snickers of disbelief from the hosts and the guest. They do a great job there, but need some passion. During their discussion, the outlandishness of the story almost escaped me, even though it was their central point. It was Cenk's too, but he expressed it much more affectively.

Totally. It's his passion and fury about the disgusting and blatant corruption in the US that makes TYT what it is. It's the passion and fury the people of America SHOULD be feeling about this stuff
