How it works

[font face="Verdana"]Mitchell L. Frost, a former University of Akron student, was sentenced  Friday to 2 and a half years in prison, followed by 3 years of  supervised release for conducting denial of service attacks on the sites  of several prominent conservative figures, including Bill O'Reilly,  Rudy Giuliani, Ann Coulter, and others.
   
 Meanwhile, Johannes Mehserle, a former BART police officer, shoots and  kills an unarmed, restrained man while in custody in view of numerous  eyewitnesses, and gets just two years in prison (minus time already  served!).
   
 Hmmmm, why does one non-violent crime like a [/font][font face="Verdana"]denial of service attack [/font][font face="Verdana"]get a stiffer sentence than a violent one like murder?
   
 Here's how it works. There are three classes of people in American  society. The first class is the people who run the large institutions:  the politicians in government, and the executives of corporations. The  second class is the people who protect these institutions: police,  lawyers, the media, etc. The third class is everyone else. To calculate a  criminal sentence, just use the following formula:
   
 [span style="font-family: Courier New; font-weight: bold;"]adjusted sentence = original sentence * 10^(class of perpetrator - class of victim)[/span]
   
 So, if you kill someone of your own class, you might get 20 years in  prison. But since the BART cop was in the second class, while Grant was  in the third, this was dropped down to 2 years. For the Akron student,  it's the reverse: the student targeted conservative pundits (second  class) so instead of 3 months he gets 30.
   
 And now you understand how it works. [/font]  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
