In today’s world, it seems there are more and more people who don’t seem capable of accepting responsibility for their own actions. Usually, I blame poor parenting for this. Today’s story however shows that maybe our legal system is also to blame.

Back in July 2004, a 20 year old driver made an illegal left turn that took him into the path of a Calgary motorcycle cop and knocked him from his steed. Yesterday a judge aquitted the kid of the hit & run charge, saying that “I find that he never intended to avoid responsibility”. Yeah right! That’s why he and his buddy went to a neighbouring pub for a cold pop while the officer lay on the street being treated by EMS.

Not surprisingly, the officer chose not to accept the accused’s appology, asking why it took him two years.
