People laugh it off.
It is NOT something to joke about, this Kennedy family history of drunk driving, vehicular homicide, and corrupt police who cover for them.
The only reason Kennedys are not in jail is not because they are Kennedys - IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE MAKE JOKES when instead they should demand hard justice - the same that all citizens receive when they break the law.
You are correct, but the reason we laugh is to cover our pain. The Kennedys have wreaked havoc on the Untied States for long enough. It is time to put Ted & son out to pasture. Wht won't the folks of Mass. stop voting for this pig & how did the good folks of RI ever elect his demon seed? The Kennedys should be banned from EVER holding another public office.
Nah.
He'll get away with it because members of the Capitol Police are "Congressional Employees" Which means any "Member of Congress" is their boss.
