:Let's put this in perspective; One hundred fifteen people die per day from various causes in the state of Louisiana.
Tax,
I'm surprised that you would excuse the deaths of these elderly people by STATISTICS. Isn't that what the libs who think the death penalty is racist do? An unnecessary death is an unnecessary death, whether it comes in above or below the "averages."
If I may be so bold as to quote John Quincy Adams, speaking before the Supreme Court:
"Justice, as defined in the Institutes of Justinian, nearly 2000 years ago, and as it felt and understood by all who understand human relations and human rights, is—
'Constans et perpetua voluntas, jus suum cuique tribuendi.'
'The constant and perpetual will to secure to every one HIS OWN right.'"
Something SCOTUS ought to be reminded of again.
We cannot excuse all the NO deaths of the very ill and elderly who would have died that time period anyway, but at least 115 people die per day in Louisiana from various causes.
Certainly the folks that were left to die in that nursing home were murdered.
