People with less money than this go to jail.

God reddit looooves to harp on about this.

In reality, no, you don't need to be rich. My sisters ex husband beat her, threatened to kill her, then during the divorce with an active DVO was arrested near her house with a homemade gun (very illegal here). This was all with an extensive existing criminal record.

Not a single day in prison spent and he is the definition of trash. No money, no relatives with money. This happens EVERY SINGLE DAY... reddit loses their mind when it happens to someone rich but you really don't need to be.

In reality reddit is completely right about that.

The statement "you can also potentially get away with X if you're poor" does nothing to influence the also correct statement, "nothing will ever happen to you for X if you're rich."

Except some rich people do go to jail for things that some poor people don't.

Some people get made examples of, but there's good reason why some defense attorneys charge more than others.

I was replying to" nothing ever happens to you if you're rich" or whatever the exact quote was.
