Psychologist defends ‘affluenza’ – CNN.com Video

Part one of Anderson’s exclusive interview with Dick Miller, psychologist in the center of the “affluenza” case.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

A teen YOUNGER than this teen was sent to jail for 10 years for accidentally killing one person – by the same judge. 

The teen from this new tragedy illegally drank, illegally drove 70 MPH in a 40 MPH zone, illegally murdered, illegally fled the scene of the crime, yet nobody calls him illegal.

The psychologist is not interested in punishing, he’s interested in helping the teen. He wishes every kid could go to rehab instead of prison.

The wealthy dad is paying for the “vacation punishment” for his son.

Our society will spend money to incarcerate black and brown law breakers, but not to rehabilitate them.

Our (in)justice system boils down to who our society loves and protects vs who our society demonizes and imprisons like animals.

Teen Thrown In Violent New York Prison For Years Without Ever Having Been Convicted

 

“Bronx resident Kalief Browder was walking home from a party when he was abruptly arrested by New York City police officers on May 14, 2010. A complete stranger said Browder had robbed him a few weeks earlier and, consequently, changed the 16-year-old’s life forever.

 

Browder was imprisoned for three years before the charges were dropped in June 2013, according to a WABC-TV Eyewitness News investigation.

 

At the time of the teen’s arrest, Browder’s family was unable to pay the $10,000 bail. He was placed in the infamously violent Rikers Island correctional facility, where he remained until earlier this year.”

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Kudos to this man for not taking the plea deal. The plea deal is bullsh*t that would have given him a permanent record making it nearly impossible for him to get a job at most companies for the rest of his life. #NewJimCrow 

 

And remember, this happened in the “Freedom Loving” United States. Freedom for who?

Waitress denied tip for ‘gay lifestyle’ – CNN.com Video

Waitress Dayna Morales says she was stiffed on a $93 bill because the family she served didn’t approve of her lifestyle.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I see. The customer was happy to be served by this woman who they didn’t approve of, but then didn’t want to pay for the service.
