This sort of abuse of wealth is absolutely revolting, but how do you deal with parties that have amassed enough power to basically thumb their noses at the rest of the populace?

The casualness with which such a rich asshole deprives thousands of people of their rights without any fear for consequences is absolutely disgusting.

>> "He shot and killed his neighbor, Timothy Newman, a man who had repeatedly challenged Campbell over his access-blocking proclivities. Campbell first claimed it was self-defense because Newman threatened him, but last year he finally pleaded guilty to negligent homicide. He’s now on probation, under a 20 years suspended prison sentence."

Just WTF? This is absolutely insane. Other people end up in the chamber for such things (not that I like the death penalty or other excessive punishment, quite the opposite). The sign that if you're rich enough you can get off with murder is a threat to the core stability of society.

Plea deals when you're rich are a completely different thing than when you're poor apparently.
