It’s quite clear now, isn’t it?

Felicity Huffman is inspiring outrage after the actress was sentenced Friday to 14 days in prison for her role in a brazen college admissions scandal, in which involving rich and famous families funneled cash to fixers to help their children get into the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities.

Prison?

Uh, no.  Prison is for felons, where you do more than one year.

This is jail.  Which you typically get for a “simple and first” DUI.

Oh wait… you’d probably get more than 14 days for that.

Indeed, a homeless black woman got five years for intentionally stating a false address to get her kid into a better school.

Note that said black woman didn’t pay a bribe — she just lied, without the bribery.  Huffman, on the other hand, both lied and bribed.

So is it clear to you yet?  There is no justice in the courts for ordinary people.

This means if you want to see actual justice you’re going to have to exact it yourself.  And yes, that will be (and is) deemed a criminal act on its own; it’s commonly called vigilantism, after all.
