Words Fail Me, Part ?

Seriously?

Prosecutors: Man Went On Honeymoon After Killing Man On Scooter
ROXBURY (CBS) – More than a year after his death, the family of a college graduate killed in a car crash now has a sense of closure.

Colin Ratiu admitted in court on Tuesday that he was drunk behind the wheel when
he ran over 24-year-old Andrew Prior last year. The 24-year-old Northeastern graduate was riding his scooter near Roxbury Crossing when he was hit last November.
Here's the best part. The family hid evidence from prosecutors for three months after the accident. This piece of shit - no, wait, calling him a piece of shit is an insult to pieces of shit everywhere - killed someone, hid the evidence, then went on with his life while his family helped cover it up for three months. Another family lost a son, a friend, a vital piece of their lives and for three months had no idea what happened, all because some privileged little snotnosed punk couldn't do the honorable thing and 'fess up.

Or, better yet, hang himself in shame.

Ratiu received a five year sentence, which in Massachusetts means he'll be out in 6 months and driving again shortly thereafter. He'll be able to continue the carefree life he had before his little incident like it never happened. What's also interesting is that there's no talk of charging his parents with being an accessory to manslaughter for covering up the accident - from the sounds of the article, his damaged vehicle was hidden at their house for three months. I'd say this rests on their conscience, but it doesn't sound like they have one.

Meanwhile, Andrew Prior's family can only visit him at his grave. Where the hell is the justice in that?

That is all.

Justice? In Massachusetts?

There is no justice anymore at least not here on this earth. We can only hope that he will be judge in the afterlife. His parents should bare the same fate as well. Yes they will say it was out of love for their child but if you really loved him they would have counseled him on facing is mistakes and confessing. Its plain to see he learned to run and hide from his parents. Fewer and fewer states have any justice systems left that are fair and diligent. It's what this country and word is coming to. It's a sad sad time.

"justice is truth in action"
