The volunteer Oklahoma deputy charged in the shooting death of an unarmed black man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to second-degree manslaughter and won approval for a controversial family vacation. A Tulsa judge ordered Reserve Deputy Robert Bates, 73, to return to court July 2 -- but approved his request to first vacation in the Bahamas. The vacation drew an angry response from the family of Eric Harris, who was fatally shot by Bates on April 2. "Whether intended or not, Mr. Bates' vacationing in the Bahamas at this time sends a message of apathy with respect to the shooting and Eric's life," the Harris family said in a statement released by lawyer Dan Smolen. "At a time when we are still mourning the death of a loved one that he shot down in the street, Mr. Bates will be relaxing and enjoying his wealth and privilege."

No kidding.
I do not want to offend anyone, but isn't "73" a bit too old to be out working the streets? I mean, I can see working communications, evidence room, or some other support role. But really, 73 out on the street, get real!

"Sounds like Dick Cheney..." ...Woo Hoo!...
No kidding. Gee, what an insensitive dolt. I mean he could have emualted Obama's example of empathy and concern by playing golf right an Amercian was beheaded by ISIS. That would have been so much more acceptable.
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Bet he won't stay there long and will not return to the United States.
Bet you a nickel that you're wrong on that.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
