10. not at all
it was just that everybody was kneejerking sans facts

it's oh so typical of political discourse - where facts don't matter, except to prop up ideology and prejudice

NOWHERE did the article say that no charges would be filed

numerous people claimed that he was getting special treatment

others played the race card

i explained, based on experience in dozens of death and accident investigations, that this did NOT appear to be the case

i just get so tired of ideologues who use every news story as an excuse to spout prejudiced rhetoric (prejudiced as in to PREjudge) vs. looking at fact patterns dispassionately

this is (as i explained) ROUTINELY how cases like this are handled

and it's always nice when history vindicates you

note i never said he would or wouldn't be charged. i said that there was no evidence that said he would not be charged, and that the case was handled as cases like this are routinely handled

despite the political ideological fact-averse wanking

:)
