Is this girl guilty or is she being treated poorly because she is an American?
You have to wonder if we had a strong White House, would this even be a case, if this girl were a Citizen of Italy would she even have been accused in the first place?
You really have to ask, is it safe to travel in italy at all?
Should Americans Avoid places where they treat their own citizens differently than they do citizens of other countries?
Would she have even gone to jail at all if she were not an American?
Was Amanda Knox a victim of a weak state department?
The truth may be something very near to that, had she been a citizen would she even be in jail at all? That is what seems to be of interest here because in many other cases where a Murder was confessed to by someone else the others that were not directly involved, received less time than Amanda Knox has already served, (allegedly)
So the fact remains, did Amanda Knox get caught up in this trial and jail time because she is an American with a president that does not have a strong foreign policy?
You have to wonder, if it is safe to even visit Italy these days, because you might end up with a parking ticket and have to do ten years in jail…
I know one thing for sure Italy is not American Friendly, at least not in this trial…
So one thing for sure if you must visit Italy make sure you have a lawyer on retainer.
What is going on in America, when the police take action when doing nothing might result in going back at a later time and arresting a suspect with no problems at all, this is the kind of situation that is giving police nationwide a bad name, many people are beginning to wonder if they can trust the police not to kill them…
Warning this video shows the alleged murder of a citizen who is legally armed, (allegedly) all suspects are innocent until proven guilty, or killed, murdered, take your pick.
Warning adult content, this is horrible, the police killed this man, did he get a trial?
Did they act in accordance with applicable law when killing this man?
Are you sick of paying out money to allegedly corrupt law enforcement officials?
Speeding fines doubled, now this is something that will get your blood pumping… Have you been a victim of a ticket when you really were not going over the speed limit? Did you know that the speeding ticket fine is the least of your worries… In almost every instance you will be punished twice for the same offense. Yes, seems wrong but apparently the elected leaders in congress do not really care much for the regular joe or jane for that matter, when you get a speeding ticket, it does not stop with the fine and the points on your drivers license. You also have to pay the insurance companies in the form of higher premiums and in this tough economy, that is not something to take lightly, in some cases drivers are paying on average $1200.00 or more per year, on top of the regular insurance premium. Yes, you read it right, get one speeding ticket and watch your insurance rates climb in some cases up to $1200.00 more per year, and that is just not one year, remember your driving record is reported on for three years, so the actual cost of a speeding ticket, is way more than the fine paid to a local city or court system.

Speeding used to be about someone driving unsafe, but with the economy and revenue of many cities that are facing budget deficits, in some places tickets have become a business instead of a safety device.

“In some places, the average speed limit is set 10 to 15 miles below the actual safe speed for conditions,” Dornsife said. “It makes technical violators out of people otherwise driving safely.”
The idea that our law enforcement community are being turned into what could be termed a tax collection unit for the state or local municipality, is disturbing, because that means that instead of making the community safer for its tax paying citizens that community is actually becoming less safe, due to the very real fact that if an officer is spending 70 percent of his or her time writing speeding tickets in order to generate revenue for the city or state then how safe should you feel at night when you go to bed?
With drug dealers on every corner of most large cities selling crack and all kinds of other stuff you have to wonder about the folly of going after the law abiding citizens first because they are just easier to handle than a thug.
That is concerning, when you begin to see video camera being installed in motorists cars to prove legal behavior because of the abuse of a few enforcement officers, it is something that should be investigated.
When a citizen has to take steps to protect themselves from false statements of some law enforcement officers by providing video proof that they were not in violation or that they did not weave in traffic then you have a serious issue that needs to be examined by the federal government.
In one small Alabama district, an estimated 1000 tickets per month are processed at the rate of over $200 per violation that adds up to a huge amount of money every month, coming mostly from an interstate highway where the speed limit is posted at 55 mph and on both sides of this small town in Alabama, the speed limit is 70 mph when you see this type of issue you have to wonder about how safety is the main concern of the city.
It actually creates a very unsafe driving condition, because you have some drivers that are obeying the speed limit of 55 and then you have some that are doing 70 on both sides of this small town in Alabama, that is a 15 MPH difference in speed, this creates a situation where those drivers that are driving at a slower rate of speed, are in danger of being struck by faster moving drivers, this is dangerous and the city in which this has been done, could eventually end up being sued by a driver that gets hit by a faster moving driver, simply because you could argue that the city is intentionally setting the speed limit low in order to obtain revenue by issuing speeding tickets.
This is a problem in many places all around the USA.
If you have received a speeding ticket dont just lay down and pay the ticket fight it in court, yet is it going to be hard to do but that is what they expect, a certain number of people will just pay the fine, rather than having to take off from work, but the more serious concern here should be that insurance costs can double, for example, a driver who has no speeding tickets can pay $500 per year less in premiums, and when you get a speeding ticket it goes on your record for as long as 7 years in some instances, 3 years for most instances, which means that your going to pay around $1500.00 more for your Automobile insurance than other drivers, and that is on top of the speeding ticket fine which averages, around $300.00 per ticket.
Over all, it is becoming more common to fight the ticket rather than to just pay it, because of the high cost of insurance.
So are we headed down the wrong legal path?
So which is it, do you think that the judicial branch should concentrate on the law or should they legislate from the bench.
The problem with the latter is that if you try to make law from the wrong side of the system, then you have broken the law and you have brought shame to the legal system.
In a recent court decision, it was somehow decided that a person in this nation illegally was somehow entitled to a discount rate for attending college, while legal citizens here legally have to pay the rate of $35,000.00
So here we are with a decision that grants certain a discounted rate of only $8000.00
Is it right to allow a person that has no legal rights to be in the country the advantage of a discount when that discount comes at the expense of a legal citizen.
Is that why they are allegedly more than 20 billion in debt and cannot even pay back money they owe?
Is this the change you voted for when you voted for the change you voted for, and does that make any sense?
When California asks as they eventually will for the Rest of America to Bail them out of the financial trouble they are in, is it fair to the rest of America that California supports alleged illegal activity in the form of state sponsored discounts not available to citizens.
When will they learn?
Why do you suppose that so many people are in jail on drug use related charges, well I can tell you one reason, why, allegedly, it is easier to pick on people who are defenseless, they are easy to put in jail, they usually do not resist, and there is little or no danger to the officer.
have you been a victum of the war on the people, this was once known as the war on drugs but has since become a war on the people.
Statistics reveal that fully 33 percent, of the population will someday be in jail if the war on the people of the united states is not stopped,
Want to know what the future holds, watch soylent green the movie, what you have never seen soylent green?
The war on drugs has become the war on the people, watch this video, Warning, this may cause you to loose sleep, because of what is happening right now in america, you should be afraid, very afraid, the war on the people…
because it is easier to arrest a citizen than a drug dealer…
