Ever been a race there, Nascar Nero? Or were you not man enough?

I've always owned Diesel pick-up trucks so never really had the chance to drag race, Rev except when there was snow. May seem unusual right? Not so. While living in Canada, in the wintertime I would er ... occasionally race sports cars soon as the light turned green. Needless to say, their high performance sports cars were clearly outclassed by my super-duty V-8 powerstroke Ford pickup with 4WD engaged.

hey-wait-minute ... aren't you supposed to be at the bar with Vanni now?!?!

Just out of curiousity, how many people here have raced cars on the street, or been in a car that was racing? How many have done something equally reckless in a car?

I can honestly say I haven't, Rev. I'm talking about British road conditions, here, maybe it's different in your wide open spaces, but it's obvious to me, that if you drive at high speeds on public roads, then you're not totally in control of events - someone may be coming the other way, oil on the road, opposite camber, maybe you're not as good as you thought you were, around a blind bend, people crossing the road, whatever. People know this is a realistic possibility, and if they go ahead and drive recklessly anyway, then that's not an accident, it's not unlucky, it's a direct consequence of their deliberate actions, GL Schmitt's "reckless disregard".

In light of that, I wonder how this sentence would stand up under a Charter of Rights appeal?

I know he appealed the deportation many times and had the last appeal the day before he left. He fought for five years and none decided with him. The Federal Judge said he can't stay and I highly doubt the SCOC would of entertained this case.

He was not a citizen and he violated his conditions for being allowed here. He did kill a women and showed no remorse until he was just about to get on plane.

People get deported regularily for committing crimes, its just this case has been in the media more than most.

He is lucky not to be stuck in the "picking up soap" position in the big house, as he surely would of been.
