According to Hillary supporters, Al Capone was NOT a gangster

Due to our legal system, there have been individuals that have been "above the law" over the course of history.

After months of deflections by Hillary supporters claiming she hasn't been charged/convicted therefore she is innocent, I felt compelled to make a historical comparison.

Everyone knows of Al Capone. Everyone knows he was a ruthless mob boss. HOWEVER, he was only ever convicted of tax evasion. This man, being one of the most ruthless criminals in US history MUST be given a clean slate by Hillary supporters simply because the crimes didn't stick.

So in the eyes of Hillary supporters, Capone was a great guy, only being a victim of the US tax system. Anything less is hypocrisy in it's finest.

Very good analogy of the mental void of Hillary supporters.

I have been hearing this exact argument they are using to vindicate Hillary. It's unreal.

Come on, everyone knows Al Capone was a victim of the Republican propaganda...same as Hillary...

a reply to: Vector99

Capone is not a great example of that, he was convicted several times and imprisoned prior to the tax evasion charge.

Does this apply to all the right wingers who exonerate violent pigs or George Zimmerman???


Just asking for a friend.

Part of me... wants... to do my best, act like Christopher Walken, but... I just cant.

It comes out sounding like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.



Still, the irony isn't lost on me.

I'm sure they''ll come up with some excuse like "He had people murdered and extorted money to run his evil empire"....and never see the irony.
They accuse Trump supporters of being blind to his faults, but Good God! the hypocrisy of that one statement is just.......incredible.

Devils advocate here. Bolded word is of particular significance. I'll go crawl back under my rock now.

Here:

In May 1929, Capone was sentenced to a prison term in Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary, having been convicted within 16 hours of being arrested for carrying a gun during a trip there.

I'll bite, sure.

Hillary is above Capone, they won't even charge her. If she is innocent of crimes whether they be intentional or not, why shouldn't she just go in front of a court and get an acquittal of all charges?

The director of the FBI literally said she was guilty of crimes per the definition of the laws surrounding said crimes, then recommended no charges be filed. He indicted a ham sandwich then said let's not prosecute

Wow. Did you need therapy after those unintellectual gymnastics? The extrapolation needed for this is beyond even what Hawking could conceive of. This isn't Pit material. This is LOL.

you know, I dont know if this is some sort of social engineering at play, a common background between us /experiences, a similar knowledge base, or what, but I came to the exact historical comparison.

She kills like a mafia don, and is as "untouchable" as capone.

S&F, great minds and all that.

Or its just true.

Just so you are aware, Capone supported the Republican establishment in Chicago during his reign of the Chicago Outfit.

He also spent time in Alcatraz, not exactly the Hamptons. I am voting for Hillary! I wonder if the OP went to Trump University?

That was for contempt of court.

I am just saying, I came to the exact choice of a historical figure to compare her to when speaking about her impunity to law.

Say what you will, she is not on the up and up.

Its absurd to deny it.
