This thread is circling down the drain.
The most glaringly obvious point is that it doesn't matter if Richard Rodriguez was Dahmer incarnate of the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, he still has rights and just because many of you may be willing enough to live in a world in which the police have the right to assault an individual simply because they "had it comin'" or because you're too much of an upstanding citizen to ever be on the wrong side of the law doesn't negate the fact that the law exists to protect all of us - even the scumbags.
I don't feel any sympathy towards Rich and I sure as hell won't be writing letters to the judge on his behalf but the idea that the law exists only to protect those on a certain side of it is absurd.
