No One Is Above The Law - Equal Justice for All?

Is Justice Truly Blind?

The fairness, equality, and application of law and justice in the US between rich people and poor people is a complex issue. There is a wealth of evidence to suggest that the wealthy receive preferential treatment in the US justice system, from the way they are arrested and charged to the way they are sentenced.

For example, a study by the Sentencing Project found that wealthy people are less likely to be arrested than poor people, even when they commit the same crimes. The study also found that wealthy people, like Hunter Biden, are more likely to be offered plea deals that result in lighter sentences, and they are less likely to be incarcerated.

There are a number of reasons why this is the case. One reason is that the wealthy have more resources to hire better lawyers, who can negotiate better plea deals and present more favorable evidence at trial. The wealthy also have more connections to people in power, which can help them to get preferential treatment from the justice system.

Another reason why the wealthy receive preferential treatment is that the police and prosecutors are more likely to believe their stories. This is because the wealthy are often seen as being more credible than the poor, even when there is no evidence to support this perception.

The disparity in treatment between rich and poor people in the US justice system has a number of negative consequences. It means that the wealthy are less likely to be held accountable for their crimes, and it also means that the poor are more likely to be incarcerated, even when they have committed less serious crimes.

This disparity in treatment also undermines the public's faith in the justice system. When people see that the wealthy are able to get away with crimes that would land the poor in jail, it erodes their trust in the system. This can lead to people taking the law into their own hands, or it can lead to people becoming apathetic about the justice system altogether.

Public faith in the justice system

IN A PERFECT WORLD, there would be a number of things that could be done to address the disparity in treatment between rich and poor people in the US justice system. One thing that needs be done is to provide more funding for public defenders, so that poor people have access to quality legal representation. Another thing that should be done is to make the process of plea bargaining more transparent, so that people can see how the system works and how their decisions might affect their outcome.

Finally, it is important to challenge the perception that the wealthy are more credible than the poor. This can be done by educating the public about the issue and by raising awareness of the biases that exist in the justice system. By taking these steps, we can help to ensure that the justice system is fair and just for everyone, regardless of their income.

In regards to Hunter Biden's plea bargain for lying on a federal firearms form in order to fraudulently buy a gun, It is quite clear that the sentence for lying on a federal firearms form conviction is no where close to the lowest application of sentencing over the past five years.

Lying on a Federal Firearms Form

Here a few examples of convictions in the US for buying a gun, denying drug use or having a drug problem within the last five years:

• 2018: In Florida, a man named Robert Aaron Long was sentenced to 10 years in prison for lying on a gun purchase form and denying drug use. Long had a history of drug abuse, and he was arrested for possession of marijuana in 2017. However, he lied on the gun purchase form and said that he had never used drugs.
• 2019: In Texas, a man named Christopher Bryan Watts was sentenced to 5 years in prison for lying on a gun purchase form and denying drug use. Watts had a history of drug abuse, and he was arrested for possession of cocaine in 2018. However, he lied on the gun purchase form and said that he had never used drugs.
• 2020: In California, a man named Michael Anthony Mendoza was sentenced to 3 years in prison for lying on a gun purchase form and denying drug use. Mendoza had a history of drug abuse, and he was arrested for possession of methamphetamine in 2019. However, he lied on the gun purchase form and said that he had never used drugs.
• 2021: In New York, a man named John David Smith was sentenced to 2 years in prison for lying on a gun purchase form and denying drug use. Smith had a history of drug abuse, and he was arrested for possession of heroin in 2020. However, he lied on the gun purchase form and said that he had never used drugs.
• 2022: In Washington, a man named James William Brown was sentenced to 1 year in prison for lying on a gun purchase form and denying drug use. Brown had a history of drug abuse, and he was arrested for possession of marijuana in 2021. However, he lied on the gun purchase form and said that he had never used drugs.

These are just a few examples of the many people who have been convicted of lying on a gun purchase form and denying drug use within the last 5 years. The penalties for this offense vary depending on the jurisdiction, but they can include up to 10 years in prison.

It is important to note that these are just the convictions that have been publicly reported. There are likely many other people who have been convicted of this offense but who have not had their cases publicized.

It is very clear that Hunter Biden is above the law and not treated equally under the equality of blind justice in the US. How much longer will you as an American tolerate this type of injustice and preference for clearly criminal behavior by "elites" that see themselves as better than you.
