It's just funny to watch the mob get all riled up and try to make things black and white when they're actually very complex and nuanced.
In this case "oh the fix is in, he's a pro athlete, he bought his way out of it".
Kind of like the AIG bonuses. Another very complex issue, and the mob was all like "they're getting bonuses? that's our monies mother fucker!!!"
What're ya gonna do?

Agreed, but on the other side of it people are really just fed up with idiots getting drunk and then getting behind the wheel, and they're tired of hearing about such idiots killing someone's family member. Thus the anger towards the measly 30 day sentence.
I can understand that.
Of course in looking at the complete picture it's a slightly different story, and as you (and I) basically said at
least the dead guy's family is compensated and then some for whatever earnings the guy would have made them.
Now if you'll excuse me I just put 10 shakes of tabaso on my chilifries, and am about to singe my taste buds. :D
