Death of a courier

Oh come on, that's not nearly equivalent to scraping a guy across trees and street furniture with your car. The baseball bat could be interpreted as self-defence. Dragging a man to his death while you're locked safely in a big metal box is the act of an animal.

The entire sorry story makes me feel ashamed to be the same species as this guy.

just trying to justify what i said, so again from wikipedia:

On May 25, 2010, prosecutor Richard Peck withdrew all charges against Bryant stemming from the incident, noting there was "no reasonable prospect of conviction."[3] Peck said that "[Bryant] was attacked by a man who unfortunately was in a rage. [Bryant] was legally justified in his attempt to get away"

so the prosecutor at least clearly did interpret it as self-defence.

also it says it was a convertible car - not sure if the top was down or not but you can see how you might feel threatened, and how you wouldn't be protected by a big metal box, if it was.

not going to say any more on this other than that it is a terrible tragedy, and i'm in support of the petition.

peace
