The most amazing thing to me in this case is that the justice system reached for a racketeering charge; some of the people involved stood to receive bonuses of up to $2k for improving test performance, therefore they're obviously directly comparable to loving mobsters.My Imaginary GF posted:Once again, I ask, what was the race of the individuals involved in Atlanta I'm fairly sure they're all black. edit: oh yeah, and the shithead judge presiding over the case had the balls to say "I don't like sending people to prison, but..."

Baron Porkface posted:Is there a reason I shouldn't believe that to be racketeering? Depends on what you mean by the question. If you're asking whether their behavior contravenes RICO, it probably does. If you're asking whether it's part of the scope of RICO as declared when it was introduced in congress as acting for "the elimination of the infiltration of organized crime and racketeering into legitimate organizations operating in interstate commerce," well, it's just utterly silly. Maybe I'm just being cynical but my hunch is that if they were white and affluent, the charges would be different and much less severe.
