    Who gives a shit. If he broke the law, convict him, as long as it’s consistent with anyone not the son of a famous politician. By the same token, these same rich and powerful people have to be accountable to all of same laws…

      As the article notes, it is not consistent, and the charges were likely brought due to political pressure.

      Your average addict would have these charges dropped and a diversionary program offered, as was in the initial plea deal (prior to political pressure being leveraged).

        Well then, I oppose it. But not because I’m part of some cult-of-personality about the man… That would just be pathetic!
