Sharpton calls for justice outside Madoff's home
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Saying Bernard Madoff enjoys a "gilded penthouse incarceration," civil rights activist Al Sharpton led a rally outside the accused swindler's Manhattan home on Saturday urging equal justice for the rich and poor.
Sharpton and about 30 other demonstrators protested that Madoff was being allowed to remain free pending trial while poor people with no access to top legal representation languished in prison for relatively minor infractions. ....
I don't recall a single instance where I have sided with Al Sharpton; till today. What do you feel about his position? I personally think Madoff has had it too easy, especially since he's shown no contrition, and has tried to use every opportunity to move money out to his relatives. I don't see why he should be sitting in a palace funded by his illegal schemes instead of sharing a room with Bubba.
