ORIGINAL: philosophy "This is not the case of an unfortunate officer involved death in the line of duty, this is just another dangerous asshole on the highway, whether he wears a badge for his day job or whether his victims had green cards is irrelevant." ....problem is, for a significent number of Americans it isn't irrelevant. This is nothing new.........it's a sad fact, but while America may be the ecomnomic world leader, even a military one...when it comes to justice, the US has a lot to learn from, say, Tonga or maybe Luxemburg. Whatever did happen to the US pilot who killed those people in the Italian cable car? Still flying is he? Who knows, 'cos the US whipped him out of Italy before the authorities there could even question him. Justice, in American terms, is not applied to other nationalities. Which makes it not justice. To quote Shakespeare, justice is indivisible. Our system is not perfect by far, but that is a rather large overgeneralization, don't you think?
