Where are the MeToo cries of approbation at Epstein's death?

1of5 comments on Aug 25, 2019:

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that shows the power of privilege more than the Epstein clusterfuck does. It's the uppercrust that hid him in plain sight, protecting him - just look at his Florida "conviction" and lack of fallout, never mind the locals calling his island *pedophilia island*. That multiple layers of protection and standards of behavior exist for the different straitia of society has always been evident, but the extent to which the Epstein case shows the differences cannot be denied. There aren't any minorities, or poor people to blame the atrocities on - just rich white men who control the levers of power, and they never pull the levers that harm them. But then, what is human trafficking to the rich? They, daily, exploit people for thier benefit. Locking whole classes of people into a cycle of poverty and subjugation is what they fucking do, so why should we be surprised that sexual exploitation is just another facet of thier dysfunction?
