On an earlier question about celebrities getting away with crimes or getting joke sentences. Most peoples answers were because they have money and the middle class or average american doesnt', that's why celebs can get away with a joke sentence for a crime and the average american go to prison for the same crime. So my question is, what are we as average americans, the majority, doing to stop this injustice?

Some people, such as yourself, are creating awareness of the issue. That is at least one thing the average American can be (and is) doing in the fight against injustice.
I would advocate the following:
Stop paying taxes. At the very least, recognize that our own money is being used against us.
As for the second question, try stop paying your taxes, see what happens. This is why people pay the taxes, and accept the injustice.

I don't think that celebrities are getting lighter sentences sheerly because they have money. Having money doesn't convince the average judge to lighten your sentence. The reason why celebrities get lighter sentences is because they have the money to higher a good lawyer. You'd be amazed at what a good lawyer can do.
But, as far as your question goes, the only way to stop wealthy individuals from highering good lawyers is to take their money away. That would be communism and most people in the US are opposed to that.

They hear it in college, from a buddy, or from their faith and repeat it without wondering. the in person-friendly words between the above I see any accessible actuality in is the land bridge, yet i'm no geneticist or specialist on Asia and would in person-friendly words decide that for the period of protecting with what "experts" have pronounced. I concentration extra on traditions and existence-type, they are extra significant to me than origins that are clouded in time. i'm an anthropologist and that i have lived with and realized from many close by communities, and understand that besides the undeniable fact that a lot time I spend with them i visit under no circumstances comprehend as a lot about their lifestyle as they do.

Dude you hit the nail on the head. It is not just the criminal aspect. They often preach to us about helping the poor and the environment as the sip $2,000 bottles of booze while flying on private jets.
I don't go see their movies or listen to their music. Support you local musicians even if they don't play perfect, It is still great to here Live music and drink a few beers.

Nothing. I'm not sure that there is anything we can do. We can make all kinds of laws but if there is no one willing to enforce them they don't mean anything.
