So, in the USA, a rich kid recklessly kills a working person, and gets sentenced to seven to nine months in a juvenile camp and four months of probation.
First, does anyone think a poor or middle class kid in the US would get off so lightly?
Second, similarly, a 22 year old rich kid in China was involved in a fatal vehicle accident in 2010 while driving under the influence, killing a university student and injuring another. Allegedly, the kid said “Go ahead, sue me. My father is Li Gang.” In 2011, he was sentenced to six years in prison. (“China hit-and-run driver sentenced to six years in jail”. BBC News. January 30, 2011.)
Is Chines Justice tougher on the children of the rich than is the USA?
