When I get a chance, I will look up the word "toxic" in the dictionary. I suspect I'll see your picture there.
Isn't it the Left that's constantly pushing the idea that rich white guys are always getting light sentences while the less fortunate and minorities get stiffer sentences? Why are we not hearing that narrative trumpeted in light of Hunter Biden't treatment?
Just for the record, I suspect if Hunter's last name wasn't Biden, this is how he'd have been treated by the Justice Dept:

Most Gun Charges Result in a Guilty Plea
Like most federal charges, most defendants charged with a federal firearms offense chose to plead guilty rather than go to trial. 8,251 of the 8,461 total sentences involved a guilty plea. That means less than 1% of defendants chose to go to trial. Those who were convicted at trial received more than double the sentence of those who pled guilty.
This is another reason why prosecutors like to use weapons enhancements as a tool to secure cooperation from a defendant. According to 2019 data, most defendants did not like their chances of defending against illegal firearms possession at trial.
