Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference?

  US courts are based on the principal of innocent until proven rich.

  If you’re ever going to kill someone do it with a car. In North America they can’t punish you too hard for it or it sets a precedent even if you did it premeditated. I think the one exception to them being scared to throw the book at vehicular crimes is trying to kill a cop with it, so don’t do that one for sure.
