It is difficult to talk to nepalese about anything impassionately.

For example, someone is telling me to "imagine " I am a brother of the girls (When do you guys learn that justice is not served by imagining you are the brother of the victims). Another is saying that I should be jailed for saying these words (and this is how justice is delivered in your view?). Another is saying the victim's family should get justice. Where did I deny the victim's family should get the justice?

I am sure the police were not blind to let the guy go unless there were some mitigating reasons. How many of us know what truly happened there anyway? At one moment you guys think American law is great, and at another moment, you think the police and the DA let the guy go away by mistake. 

I haven't defended the drink driving and running the redlight, but if his crime were so obvious, then I don't understand how American police let him go. I don't see it fit to base all my arguments based on a journalist's report.

I then made a comment about American legal system and number of prisoners in American jail. These comments are fairly standard, and I actually read them in a paper by a very famous social scientist, and you can always access them in internet. Just google about it. Just read the debate in California about the money they spend in American jails vis a vis universities. Just think for a moment about how openly biased the supreme courts here are (I mean Hillary Clinton was said to be the candidate to be supreme court justice). Anyone can make these criticisms of American penal system. If I am to be jailed for it, then it is clear that you guys have no idea what the justice is. Are you living in cowboyland for too long?
