    What's next that america can gentrify for the rich to do without punishment? Legal murder. It's now legal to hunt homeless for sport if you're worth over a mil.

      Legal murder.

      That's already kind of a thing: the failson heir to the Red Bull throne literally got away with murder already.

            Like the Dupont heir SAing his children and the judge deciding to suspend his prison sentence because it might make him sad.

              Don't forget the affluenza kid! He was just so rich he didn't understand things like consequences.

              Or how Caitlyn Jenner murdered a whole family because she was texting while driving.

              We could make a whole list! 😀

        Augustus Busch (Busch brewing) was implicated in the deaths of two women and got away with it. One DUI car crash where he fled the scene and left a critically injured woman in the car, one overdose in his apartment.
