Should you be able to shove a gun in your kids

I am going to say something in this:

The sole fact that athletes, rich people, and actors/actresses are famous is not what keeps them free after committing crimes, it's the fact that they have money to either win or keep them out of jail. They pay out their ass for great lawyers plus I'm sure there is a little money in it for the court system if they are not convicted, or not sentenced to jail. The reason that we hear more about these crimes than the ones committed by lesser individuals is because of the media. They know that they will get more viewers if they have knews on someone famous. If you live in a small town, you will hear about these lesser individuals committing these crimes, plus the famous people as well. In cities such as New York, Atlanta, or even Los Angeles, the media is not as worried about the infamous criminals because of the population. There are too many people committing too many crimes to keep up with it, so they look for the ones that people want to hear about.


That is my two cents.

Exactly. Can you imagine how many people would sit glued to Fox News if they gave some alleged rapist as much air time as they have given to Kobe Bryant? Nobody. Fucking nobody.
