We can’t have separate laws for the rich and the poor

Nov 19, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

I remember my grandmother used to say, “If yuh wrong, yuh wrong, rich or poor, same treatment.” That wisdom never expires.

Lately, I see people bending themselves trying to justify why certain big names should get special treatment when they run afoul of the law. Some even say the police should arrest them “softly.” Since when does justice have a luxury package?

We can’t be preaching equality then crying shame when it reaches one of our own. A poor boy could get cuffs for a ‘lil’ larceny, but a millionaire must get a red-carpet arrest? No man. Law can’t have a rich version and a poor version.

When those in power or with money believe they are untouchable, every honest citizen in this country becomes smaller. Because next time, the law will hesitate and that hesitation breeds corruption.

The real issue is respect for justice. Every man must answer for his own deeds. If you clean, the court is going to prove it. If you are dirty, the same court is going to deal with it. Simple.

We can’t build a country where the law trembles to touch certain people. A nation that wants fairness must practice it, even when it hurts.

Respectfully,
BRIAN AZORE
