OK, THIS is a HOT one!
Do you guys remember Ethan Couch?
NO?
OK, HE is the guy that decided to get drunk, drive, and kill 4 people and injure 12. To say injure is an understatement. One person is paralyzed for life.
His defense? That he was a RICH SPOILED BRAT! OK, that wouldn't go well with the courts or jury, so they gave it a name like it was some type of DISEASE! Affluenza!
Wikipedia describes it as:
The news says:
'Affluenza' Teen's Family Will Pay Over $2M to the Family of the Boy He Paralyzed
The parents liability insurance paid out $1.638 Million for two liability policies which TOGETHER will pay about $3,300/month for life.
And the boy? He gets 10 years probation where he is not supposed to drink, do drugs, or drive. YEAH, THAT will work! (sarc) Besides, he'll probably just get a limo.
FURTHER, he will be in "rehab" for affluenze! WOW! I would LOVE to steal something from a store and have them say "HEY! STEVE, WE DON'T LIKE THAT! For punishment, we will get you a house in the hamptons, and give you a full entertainment center!". You want to rehabilitate him? Maybe put him in a tenement, have him get a minimum wage job that he has to walk 5 miles a day to, and have him try to repay the liability company! If his problem is being spoiled, or thinking mummy and daddy will save the day every time, or not having a consequence, THAT would help. On second thought, maybe it would be good if the tenement were in a jail. After all, what makes HIM so special?
Why don't people riot HERE? THIS is the epitome of what the occupy movement talks about with the 1%!

Wikipedia describes it as:
| Affluenza, a portmanteau of affluence and influenza, is a term used by critics of consumerism. The book Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic defines it as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more."[1] |
'Affluenza' Teen's Family Will Pay Over $2M to the Family of the Boy He Paralyzed
| It's the first approved settlement in the civil fallout from the accident, which gained national attention for Couch's unusual "affluenza" defense. His "affluenza," his attorneys and doctors argued, given him to him by his permissive wealthy parents(RICH), imbued the teenager with a sense of irresponsibility(SPOILED) that left him unable to understand the consequences of his actions(BRAT). |
