For a man who loves to talk about personal responsibility
El Smackbo sure had the lawyers working overtime to save him from the "common man's" justice.

Thank you, Mahajunkie, for showing us that accountability is for the peons.

Rush took total responsibility. The "common man" would not have been charged in this case.

Okay we get that you don't like him.

We also get that for you, Rush is guilty until proven innocent. Even the prosecutor couldn't show guilt beyond reasonable doubt. But you know better. Good for you.

Ahh, the nutfarm has allowed one of their people to speak again!! If only Rush would have been drunk, drove off a bridge and killed a woman. Then he could be celebrated as a great leader!!!

Actually, pre-conviction probation is pretty much '"common man's" justice' for the milder cases of drug possession, at least around here. That is essentially what Rush got. The only uncommon thing about this is how the prosecutor did what he could to convict Rush in the press -- and I guess you're evidence he succeeded. Some of us still kind of go for the "innocent until proven guilty" thing, but that's no reason for you to work with that standard.

I would caution you that knowing what you're talking about will probably get in the way of condemning people with the gusto you presently display.
