Wheels are still turning .... so to speak

One last thought for the day .... crime and television, they seem to go hand in hand. Many, or most popular TV shows revolve around police work and crime. I wonder why that is? What is there about crime and police work that is so interesting to the viewing public?

I still question that judges decision about the race car driver  who killed that other driver. It is the fault of the guy who got killed because, reportedly, he was under the influence of marijuana. It's OK to "smoke" and drive, a race car, on a race course, with a high power engine, on a racetrack, but, no walking. I would be very surprised if they did not have some type of drug testing. I wonder what the amount of marijuana smoked, renders one ..... to have poor judgement .... to the point where one would walk right into a high powered ...... race car?

OJ Simpson, the guy in England with the springy legs that shot his gorgeous girlfriend while she was taking a shower, And here, in my opinion, a hothead, in an instant, makes a wrong decision, takes a young boys life ..... nothing happens, and he goes on with his life.

A Civil Suit, I think not, too many deep pocket sponsors, millions in advertising on TV, it will be quietly settled ...... out of court. End of the story, not the race ...........

I do predict though, that Stewart will end his driving career soon. I imagine it is tough enough for a driver to just see a comrade driver get killed on the track in an accident .... and continue driving, but to be directly responsible for the death of a driver ..... never get over it. And, there may be some who believe in ..... an eye for an eye .....  perhaps a "target" on the back of Mr. Stewart????????
