Uh huh the charges reduced to theft. Wonder if same applies when inside heists are carried out by minorities

I still say it is a lack of morals and personal accountability that is to blame. It's always someone elses fault. Wrong is wrong. We are paying the price for lack of discipline and direction from parents, schools, etc.....No respect for authority.............

Look, I don't know you, you don't know me. I don't want to argue with you. We used to think of the bad guy as just that...The bad guy. We have become a selfish, me oriented society and this is a direct result of a break down in moral standards. Kids growing up today are so catered to and sheilded from reality. They deserve to go to prison, black, white, hispanic, asian, male or female.

You just proved my point when you said the jails were full of women like these..............Society is screwed up. Quit being so narrow minded

I meant full of women who are non-white who probably committed like crimes and who are serving time for it. I'd like to see you walk one week in my shoes as a law abiding citizen and get stopped walking to your own car. Expand YOUR mind.

It's a race issue everytime a white person commits a crime but gets treated with kid gloves and doesn't receive any punishment. Look at how certain media outlets are saying 'They don't look like who you'd EXPECT' What does that tell you? Exactly WHAT does a bank robber actually LOOK LIKE? The jails are full of young women like these 'Barbies' but I guess they are what bank robbers are SUPPOSED to look like. Probation for these criminals is almost certain.

What does being white have anything to do with it?! Since when is this a race issue?!

My head is not in the sand. I said in an earlier post, they will probably say they were coerced into doing it. The media created this by calling them "barbie bandits" It still doesn't make it about race............They should be punished and should go to prison.
What about the Duke Lacrosse players, were they black?

I'd like to see your reply here when they receive probation. I can guarantee that they will NOT do any jail time. The males involved will be blamed and receive hefty jail sentences while the 'Barbies' will probably receive a book deal. Double standards exist like air in this country. Pull your head out of the sand.

Send'em to jail for 2 years and then let'em out so they have to work for living like the rest of us.
