[QUOTE]Originally posted by N8: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JohnB: [qb] Justice was swifter? Are you serious? It's called due process and legalities. I'd like to think that everyone is entitled to that. Investigations must be done, steps taken, and then decisions are made. He could have been thrown in jail the very next day and it still wouldn't have been enough for some...and they still would be rioting in Oakland. Hell, the family didn't even care about charges being brought against the officer...they ran out, found a lawyer, and filed a $25M lawsuit against BART not even a week later! He made certain decisions in regards to his life, like we all do, and whether they were right or wrong...it doesn't matter to anyone but him and his family. No one said he deserved it. [/qb][/QUOTE]Never said anyone "said" that he "deserved". I used the words "insinuating" and "tone". I also asked if that was what someone meant. But never accused them of saying it. I guess it is a matter of perspective and experience when it comes to interpretation of swift justice. And from mine, it moved at a snails pace. From yours they could very well deserve medals from the way they handled it. Such is life. Does it bother me? Nah not one bit. And yes he did make decisions based on his family and situation. Great, and I will give you that. But unfortunately the spill over of those decisions affect Oakland as a whole, BART and possibly his family and children's children. He will no doubt lose a civil suit for wrongful death and negligence. So the restitution and court award itself will milk him for the rest of his natural life. And he will no doubt have problems getting a job if manslaughter sticks (he wont get murder at least I don't think he should). I guess his life caught up to him as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
