#2At least one step in the right direction. But we're still pretty far from reaching some parity with the idea that it's often a life sentence to be driving in a car with someone who commits a murder if you're poor and black, but it's some soft white collar club fed crime to get thousands addicted to your drug, take their money, ruin their families for years and eventually take their lives.

I can choose not to buy and take opiates. I can't choose to not be murdered.
Murderers are much worse, and prisons better serve their purpose when they're used for murderers and their accomplices than when they're used for white collar crime.

Eh. The scale is not really comparable. People who create systemic problems that are difficult to fix pose a much greater threat to society than people who murder individuals.
I'm not saying to go easy on murderers. The opposite: I'm saying that we should take the former even more seriously.
Fentanyl is an incredibly potent and addictive drug.

#8The cynic in me thinks Kapoor was "sacrificed" to shield the Sacklers. Sort of like how Rajaratnam was "sacrificed" to shield the large banks.

Let's keep comments relative please. Systemic racism is a problem but has nothing to do with Insys.

I don't understand why this needed to be on a throwaway account?
