Reid shouldn't have got early release, but the prosecutor did actually throw him in jail for an appropriate amount of time before the corrupt governor got involved.

Don’t you see the privilege that athletes have? You think if Rice wasn’t a football player, he’d get the same sentence?

I see the privilege rich people have. I see the privilege white people have. I don't think there is an extra special athlete privilege. For a 1st time offender who wasn't drunk and apparently didn't seriously injure someone, 30 days + probation seems pretty normal. 🤷♂️

Their privilege is that they’re rich and won’t have their jobs impacted by their criminal behavior. Would your employer take any action if they found out you were arrested in a hit and run?

No. Maybe this is my privilege talking, but I don't think there are lots of jobs where people get fired and blackballed forever for a hit and run.

Well I unfortunately am aware of several employers, especially in the public sector, that would fire someone for this type of behavior because it reflects so poorly on who the employer trusts etc

Fair enough, but it's harsh. We live in an overly punitive society. We incarcerate a higher percentage of our citizens than any other country on earth. We are terrible at rehabilitation. I just don't have it in me to destroy the lives of idiot 23 yo's that didn't cause great harm.

I absolutely agree with you. Just wish your average citizen was afforded the same privileges athletes like Rice are when they get in trouble

I agree. I just don't think the answer to the overall problem is to start punishing everyone more. We need to move the other way.

I don’t disagree with that point at all

Well, at least we found some common ground.

If only we held Law Enforcement to the same standards we hold Professional Athletes to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you would and Its not an attack on anyone beyond the current DOJ regime. Just seeing that this athlete is gettingmore time than the cops that killed Brianna Taylor
