dea agent gets separated from the rest of the gang, panics, runs a stop sign, kills a bicyclist, and is now wanting the free pass.

His choices, his responcability, his fault, he should pay.
Does he just want us to "Wish it Away" like She never existed, because he made some bad decisons while driving?


"Marion County prosecutors said Landis was not in danger or responding to an emergency at the time of the crash. There were no plans to arrest an individual being surveilled that day or to immediately stop a drug deal, prosecutors said. Other agents were ahead of him.

"(Landis) is not being prosecuted for carrying out his federal duties, rather, he is being prosecuted for driving his vehicle in a grossly negligent manner that resulted in the death of an individual," prosecutors said. "There is no meaningful connection between defendant’s federal duties and his conduct of running a stop sign and killing a cyclist."

Naah, shouldn't work that way.

Silly citizens! He's a very special agent of Dear Leader's unerring government...He's a higher class of being than the rest of us and should be allowed to do as he likes. He was just there to help, he was following orders, and he didn't really mean it. She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was actually inertia and entropy that killed her and the universal laws of physics have qualified immunity. Inertia and entropy are, after all, at the very foundation of Dear Leader's unerring government.

Besides, none of it really matters as Dear Leader's unerring government requires that all citizens be killable on demand.

Horiuchi Defense should be an automatic Fast Track To Genpop.
