Great thinking, Einstein. Punish the homeless dude by giving him a free room and 3 meals a day.

Okay; I'll tell you a secret...

Mr.Salonoja is owner of the Espoo Blues hockey-team and I believe the police, prosecutors, defenders and judges were either pissed to poor performance of their favorite team in Masters League of Finland or they were fans of competing team.

Or maybe it was a conspiracy to start a coup d'état in American legislation system... You never know...


Mietla how should we punish those guys then? Give them a ticket to Ibiza?

Or maybe beat them blue and leave them out in the wilderness so they could freeze to death ?

In here she would face 30-40 day fines and lose her driver's licence for 4-6 months if this was her first DUI with that much alcohol in her blood.

Amount of day fines Mr.Salonoja faced was also 40 so MsRoss would have to pay a quite hefty load of money.

Well, it's simple really; equal treatment under the law. Finland apparently doesn't have it. But I do have to hand it to the Finns; they have invented a brand new way to remove wealth from the wealthy. 15mph over the speed limit? That's gonna cost you $250,000.

Yeah, makes great sense. ;)

So... your cop sees three cars speeding down an expressway... a Yugo, a Saab, and a BMW. Someone's going to get pulled over, but who? Who, who, who...

not so fast my dear Watson. The libs will argue that the "equal" is measured by pain not by equal punishment.

After all they have no problem whatsoever with wealthy paying all the income tax why poor are not only skating, but get a negative tax returns. Free money for just existing and being completely useless.
