  • In the United States, anyone brash enough to prosecute Donald Trump or his allies finds themselves being prosecuted on federal charges.

    Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the President is largely immune from prosecution. The width of that decision can be fleshed out by additional court cases if there is anybody with the authority and courage to risk it. The risks are very high and very real. The rewards are debatable.

    A simple statement like, "The deceased was an evil threat to the security of America" is enough to put any prosecution way out on a limb. Look how hard it is to get justice in Minneapolis. Things are very murky. And that didn't involve the President being the gunman.

  • Let's say--hypothetically--that the U.S. President walked out into Times Square in broad daylight and shot a person to death unprovoked. Who would prosecute that crime?

    If you can't (or won't) be prosecuted, why hide your crime?

  • How else will a witness be able to report the get-away bike in a bank robbery?

  • We recently had a funeral for people killed in an accident that was not caused by the car driver. When cars and bikes share the same space, it might be an impact with a car that kills somebody, but that impact might be the result of a chain of actions initiated by a bicyclist.
