You post a thread, you're going to get replies. You got mine. Frankly, it's posts I don't like that generally prompt me to reply.

Yours qualifies. We have a system of criminal justice. It will act. Beyond that, DUers have no valid input to offer as to how it should rule.

If you post, people will reply. You don't get to tell them they can't. Sorry.
