Ridiculous, more
Great. Al Sharpton, of all people, has said it perfectly, including being generous (which I would not be in this case):
Though I have nothing but empathy for Ms. Hilton . . . , this early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism. . . . There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions [but] are not released. . . . I even fasted which caused health concerns to prison authorities who paid for a doctor to come see me daily rather than release me. This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise.
Amen.
