      That’s not the point. It’s very clear that Smollet’s handling is something he gets as a privilege of wealth. The point is not that he’s free despite his crime. The point is that there is an obvious difference in where power lies and it’s not the way we’re told it is.

      Maybe it's as simple as "if you make up a national hate crime for fame you shouldn't be able to wiggle out with 5 days served" How he did it is irrelevant. The fact that he's walking free while guys who meandered through the capitol spent a year in solitary is the problem.

      yes, the main objection here is that there is that the law is obviously being applied in a selective extralegal manner (hence "believe in rule of law" being the question) - for example, if you diff against treatment of January 6th defendants

      Ideally I’d like to see the justice system rebuilt from the ground up. It’s an ancient system that’s deeply calcified. That’s not realistic though. As much as possible, steps taken to remove financial advantages would be nice. That is perhaps less realistic though.

      Get this straight, most people can bond out while on appeal, that’s reality. Also, it has nothing to do with wealth, (for an actor) he’s poor, it’s about connections and the narrative. He was initially treated with kid gloves because of Kamala, Michelle Obama, etc., because /1

      There is a massive difference between something being illegal and something being unjust. The problem being pointed out is the injustice and you pointing back to whether or not it’s legal injustice misses them point.

      10/ I agree with this. ...but this was not the original claim. Original claim was that bc Smollet is being released "the rule of law is dead". In fact, Smollet being released is evidence for the opposite.

      this seems to be the basis of your misunderstanding Smollet is not "getting a pass on" any specific law; he has been given every benefit of the law as written the issue is that this is obviously not universally the case for nonviolent offenders in politically charged cases here

      No. They should not. Every single person should be equal under the law. It shouldn’t matter if your middle class, low class, or Jeff bezos. But that doesn’t make it a reasonable possibility. None of the incentives in place are likely to create a system that approaches equality.

          I answered your question in seven directly. You chose to misframe my answer in quote tweet 11. I’ll repeat it since you seem unclear. No one middle class, upper class, or lower class, should have access to differentiated representation under the law due to their finances.
