Rich Teenage Texas Puke kills 4 and gets off scott free.

" A product of wealth". The moron judge buys the defense.
Imagine if this was a poor black or latino kid.

I don't understand this and I am not sure that it is true, but I heard something locally about this yesterday:

I heard that somehow the county actually makes money from someone being on probation. It's hard to understand how this could be, but that's what they said. If the kid had been sent to the county jail, it would COST the county money. It was suggested that this is why he got probation. I am very skeptical of this, but that's what he said.

If that is true, then the judge and the county have stooped to a new low.

For those not familiar with the area, this was in Collin County which is an upscale area. If money IS playing into it, it makes the whole situation even sicker than it already is. It was an elected judge and if I were in Collin County, I would be very focused on doing what I could to see her lose her next election.

That's okay. If there's a topic that deserves multiple threads, this is it.

Texas is by far the dumbest state in the union. If they somehow secede, I'm of the opinion the union's IQ will collectively jump at least 100 basis points.

If Texas were to secede it would significantly raise the IQ of Texas and lower the IQ of New York.

Well, the extensive partying in NY due to such an event, would kill a bunch of brain cells...
But I fail to see how it would raise Texas IQ even a smidgen....


Then there's this....

Although some real dumb shlt comes out of Texas (usually in an El Dorado...)
This kind of dumb shlt happens everywhere.
Money buys leniency and pardon from our legal system.
Always has, always will.

On the plus side, him being out on parole may make it easier for one of his victims' brothers to make sure that he never walks again.

Quite true...it never ceases to amaze me the kind of **** rich connect people like Lindsay Lohan get away with.

Not to mention our corrupt sheriff Lee Baca doesn't see any need to hide his allegiances.

However, this kid getting let off while 4 people lost their lives is a whole new kind of stupid.

Justice varies depending on what kind of legal console you can afford.

I was going to ask if you have ever been to Mississippi then this was posted...


Seeing as I did 7 years in Mississippi I can agree with their spot on this list.

I need to make a correction to some earlier statements.

I had been under the impression that this was in Collin County. I was incorrect, it was in Tarrant County, which Is Fort Worth.

This does not change this hideous decision, but I wanted to make the correction.
