Thanks, Dad!
The mainstream media has been having a field day with a young woman named Sarah Furay, who is the daughter of the DEA’s top man in Beaumont, Texas. After an illustrious career of drug dealing came to an end with an arrest for A LOT of contraband, Furay was dubbed the “adorable drug kingpin” by the press. Her mug shot is the epitome of white privilege:

She didn’t just grin. This spoiled little brat’s mugshot is of a young, foolish girl who knows she’s going to face little to no consequences for her actions. Her father may be tough on drugs, but already her privilege is showing as her bail was set and paid almost immediately after her arrest, freeing her from custody in time for morning coffee.
Furay’s stash included: “31.5 grams of coke packaged for sale, 126 grams of some chronic marijuana, 29 ‘ecstasy’ tablets, methamphetamine and 60 doses of a drug similar to LSD.” That’s an awful lot of drugs. One can only imagine what a young black or Hispanic girl would face in a similar circumstance.
A lot of that has to do with her father. Bill Furay is known as a stickler. He’s tough on drugs, he pushes for harsh sentences and he makes no bones about it. When Sarah was arrested it only makes sense that his legal connections are what had her dismissed so quickly.
If you’ve ever either been arrested or had to bail somebody out of jail, you know that it isn’t a fast process. People sit in crowded cells, often overnight and sometimes longer, even if they have the money for their own bail in their pocket. For this girl to be essentially processed and released, especially given the severity of her charges, reeks of corruption of the whitest, most privileged kind.
