If the man just backed into a telephone pole or something but "had a beer or two" at dinner, he would have been tossed into the maws of the criminal justice system automatically. Even if he wasn't legally drunk and didn't cause any damage.
Why anyone would choose to live in NY city is beyond me.
We live here because of the cheap rents...oh, wait a minute.
When you get down to it, every death is tragic.
Beats the Caribbean or the Mideast.
Police said Maher, who was served with five summonses, apparently overshot his destination and began backing up.
Any crime you commit while driving is a misdemeanor at worst. There was a very good episode of Quincy about this many years ago.
When I read about this woman's background I thought of the Star Trek episode in which the Enterprise people went back to the 1930s and tried to save a woman from being run over -- and foudn that if they had been successful that woman would have destroyed the future (she was apparently an ardent Marxist Peacenik). We don't know what the reason behind this might be, but these things don't happen for no reason.
Finally, we are talking about New York here, where nobody notices anything out of self defence.
Death is part of life. As Christians we have hope for Heaven and do not fear death. I hope liberal law professors will come to find God, so when they get backed over by red state hicks driving pickups they will receive eternal life.
I am beginning to think that insanity really does rule.
Arrested, hell, he ought to be commended.
In New York City insanity rules. That's why they overwhelmingly vote for traitors.
Death is part of life....
Most often it's the very last part.
My oldest son (23 years old) and I were walking from WalMart to our car yesterday. A man was backing out in a HUGE HUGE HUGE pick up truck while talking on a cell phone, his truck full of small children. He was NOT even looking and just started backing up. My son noticed and stopped me. There was a young woman with two very young daughters on the other side of the truck, he almost ran over them, too! I told the mother to watch out, he wasn't looking where he was backing, and he was on the phone. She had already noticed. I have a cell phone, but when I am parking or backing up or driving in heavy traffic I DO NOT use my cell phone. Some of the worst drivers I see in Houston area are driving and talking on cell phones at the same time. Mostly men, and young teenage girls.
So they can vote against Hillary, of course!
I live on the Texas Gulf Coast, an hour south of Houston. It is sunny, dry, crisp, in the 50s today. Everything is green and blooming. Roses, hibiscus, even one lone bluebonnet. My big ferns and palms are so lush and green on the back patio. That sure beats the North East. Got a note from a friend in Michigan and she is snowed in today. I have the windows open! We have gorgeous weather here from about Oct. until May or June. Summers are hell though.
Boundaries for many people are non-existent.
People who live in NYC tend to love their home no less than people who live anywhere. Insanity really doesn't rule, it's just a very complex system that only looks like insanity.
