If a kid from the inner-city had a gun charge like this, it's hard to see them getting such a light sentence & an average person evading taxes on $ millions found in an investigation doesn't get off so easy.
Even Matt Tabibi got a personal visit from IRS & he's not under investigation for tax evasion. Two tier justice is getting old, all around

It's two tiered alright. What America is seeing happen in our country today is almost enough to put us in shock. God help us.

Normal citizens would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If this doesn’t show that there’s a two society system! I don’t know what does 🤷🏽‍♂️ the drug and gun charges alone should have put him behind bars. I’ve seen people get far more for dime bag of drugs than he just got.

"Failure to pay more than $200k in taxes" would result in more than a 'misdemeanor' for the average citizen. Nevermind that: how in the world did he earn enough money to owe $200k in taxes?

There has always been two tier system of justice. You connected slap on the wrist, your not God speed. It sucks but it's real.

[BigtimeAL]

The phrase “no one is above the law” argument goes completely out the window.

[sharpe]

Felonies reduced to misdemeanors. Wonder why.🙄

[andrewandrew]

There is a lopsided standard of justice in America. If nothing proved it before, this has. Unforgivable. Consider how many people are in prison right now for less.

[headscrewedonright]

He got a slap on the wrist. Two tiered justice system. If Trump's children did this they would be in jail. Our government system is so corrupt, it's disgusting.

[drowningpooralice]

They did this to be able to say they are treating Trump fairly.

[messiusonline]

tell you what if it was a regular citizen they wouldnt get the same deal.

[danielfinely]

Firearm charge carrys a mandatory sentence

[atticusfinch]

Why is hunter flying around on the tax payers dollar, is he the VP

[lacedariusmcknightenberg]

10% for the big guy got us into Ukraine.

[toneco]

Any average civilian with a felony, would get a mandatory 5 years for being in possession of a firearm. They would also have there house and assets seized for tax fraud..

[kershaw]

The worst form of injustice is pretended justice.

[teamginger]

What about that 10% for the big guy? Come on CBS tell everybody about that one!

[brianfergus]

At the end of the day, they’re not coming after Hunter. They’re coming after you, and he is just standing in the way.

Kodak Black and Wesley Snipes wish they got that kind of deal. 2 Tiered
