Another "it doesn't matter to the common man post" (August Busch IV)

[cebeu]

We're all f*****-up to a certain extent but...this cat continues to demonstrate participation in unique fatal or near fatal circumstances. I presume another "pass" is coming his way on this one too? Unsure how I'd be livin' if I had that same silver spoon shoved up my ass at birth but...I'd hope to do a little better than this!

Reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch;

[~7 weeks ago] "...the 27-year-old woman found dead at the mansion of former Anheuser-Busch chief executive August Busch IV had cocaine and the painkiller oxycodone in her blood,..."

"...he had been in rehabilitation early in 2010 for depression and "my other issues,..."

"In 1984, a woman, 22, was killed in the crash of a car driven by Busch in Arizona after they had left a bar. Busch was found six hours later at his home, dazed and bloodied with a skull fracture, and said he had amnesia. He was not charged in that incident."

"[1985] "Busch led a chase in which undercover St. Louis police in an unmarked car shot out a tire on his Mercedes-Benz. They claimed he nearly ran down two officers; he claimed he thought he was fleeing kidnappers. Busch was acquitted by a jury of three counts of assault.

Why do the upper class always get away with shit? I can't even get out of a damn parking ticket and he walks away from all that?

I'm sure truckloads of "complimentary" beer to the right people helps a little.

Yeah, but it's still Budweiser.

Damn, the old timers are right. It IS all about the money.

I'm not old and I've been saying that my whole life. I came from poor money but a majority of my friends are/were very well off (lived in mansions, first cars were 700 series, got anything they wanted, went to MIT, Yale, Harvard, etc). There is a huge difference to the life you can/want to have with or without money. People say you make your own life. I agree to a point. A small point. I've done pretty damn well with what life has given me (except these student loans, lol). However, if you have the money, you can do anything. Yes, anything.

I may be cynical, but I've seen the rich kids get let go on scene for a DWI while other friends were locked up among many other incidents.

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
