A Tale of Two Crimes

From the article:

Quote:Consider Paul Allen, 55, a former mortgage CEO who defrauded lenders of over $3 billion. This week, prosecutors celebrated the fact they got him a 40-month prison sentence. Consider Roy Brown, 54, a hungry homeless man who robbed a Louisiana bank of $100 - the teller gave him more but he handed the rest back. He felt bad the next day and surrendered to police. He got 15 years. Justice in America has a ways to go.

The banksters that caused the financial crisis and follow-on economic downturn may never be investigated, much less go to trial. Justice may be blind, but it shouldn't be heartless and incompetent.

15 years for stealing $100? How is that possible?
