It's a sad world where how rich you are affects how you are viewed in the law.
Anyway, all that aside, "Affluenza" is a very clever term. I like it.
The worst part is that he broke two distinct laws, which directly related to deaths, and he still got away with it simply because he was rich.
He drank underage.
He drove drunk.
There's even a third potential law broken here - He drove underage. He's 16, and last I checked you can only get a provisional license when you're 16. If someone else was in the passenger's seat who supposed to be guiding him on the road...what the actual fu'ck, just because that person let him drive.
If any one of us did any of those three things, the book would be thrown at us. Nothing happens to him. Then to top it off it resulted in 4 deaths and 2 injuries...and still nothing? We should all be insulted by this, I know I am.
