If a person commits a crime like the alleged crimes that some of these entertainers and politicians have been accused of in the last few years of the “Me Too” generation, and yet they aren’t convicted of the crime, does mean that they should be ruined and shunned for the rest of their life, even though history shows us that hasn’t been the case with many other entertainers?
What about entertainers who committed heinous crimes in their past & are popular today, such as . . .
> Matthew Broderick, who was involved in a car accident in 1987 while on vacation in Northern Ireland when he crossed into the wrong lane and collided head-on with another vehicle, which killed the driver and their passenger immediately. In America, you would typically get charged with Vehicular Homicide & would probably do at least 10 years in prison. But he got off with only a $175 fine & no jail time & went on to star in numerous Hollywood films & hit Broadway plays.
> Jay Z, who stabbed a record company executive in the abdomen in a nightclub fight.
> Comedian & comedic actor Tim Allen, who is a convicted drug trafficker before he became famous. Did a few years in Federal prison.
> Mark Wahlberg, who almost literally beat 2 men to death with a large stick, leaving one of them blind in one eye.
> Will Smith, who was arrested in 1989 (long before he became famous) after being involved in an assault so serious one man was left nearly blind.
> Christian Slater, who was arrested in 1989 for drunk driving, then in 1997 for assaulting his girlfriend while intoxicated, and again that same year after attempting to board a flight while in possession of a loaded gun. Then in 2005, Christian was charged with 3rd-degree sexual assault after grabbing a woman’s butt on the street, which is the same thing that all these guys are getting their careers ruined over.
> Robert Downey Jr, who has been arrested numerous times for drug possession, a weapons charge, breaking & entering (to sleep on a neighbor’s sofa), multiple probation violations, and was a serial addict for years.
> Vanilla Ice, who assaulted his wife TWICE and had a firearms charge against for threatening a homeless man at gunpoint.
> 50 Cent, who was arrested for drug dealing, plus assault & battery.
> Kiefer Sutherland, who has been arrest FOUR TIMES for drunk driving.
> Marilyn Manson, who was charged with sexual misconduct after being accused of rubbing his crotch against a security officer’s head.
> Cheryl Cole was arrested following an altercation with a bathroom attendant in a nightclub. Cheryl was initially charged with racially aggravated assault. The racially aggravated charge was eventually dropped, but Cheryl was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
> OJ Simpson is far from being embraced by white people, but the black community never left his side even though some of them were pretty sure he did it. And you think supporters of the accused Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore were wearing blinders?
Either go back & reindict these people socially, or let these accused people have their day in court or let them be productive again after a social penalty is imposed & served of the same length of these guys, which was short indeed.
