The latest and greatest bit of disparity in Kansas City demonstrates that young, affluent white people are free to kill whoever they want and suffer only a slap on the wrist.
So much for the so-called "Age of Incarceration" in the United States . . . That obviously only applies to minorities and po'folk. I think every person of color in this town knows that they face the possibility of real jail time for something as simple as spitting on the sidewalk or running a red light . . . Whereas today it was demonstrated for all of Kansas City that hipsters driving drunk, murdering people AND THEN RUNNING FROM THE SCENE don't play by the same rules.
Killing someone while drunk driving is murder . . . Isn't public service messages always said? I'm pretty sure I heard that right. Also, this whole traffic hot mess displaying Kansas City inequality is rather funny to me because I've had a gun pulled on me in JoCo by the authorities for having my tail light out.
So . . . We end the week by realizing that this isn't really a nation of laws because they don't apply equally to all people. And, CLEARLY, affluent white kids mowing down people with their cars is no big deal.
