The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Check out the US constitution, why don't you?

The 17th amendment talks specifically about electing representatives, which seems pretty democratic to me.

You're quoting the Pledge of Allegance (sp).

(To which the 'God' reference was only added in 1954, trivia fans.)

Anyway, Delgado is still a piece of work, and while the mob were right according to most moral compasses, a modern EU state shouldn't have had that situation happening in the first place.

Perhaps Audi will sue him for defamation of character by association, or something.

For those of you who haven't said it since 3rd grade:

I pledge allegiance to flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> Yes, this guy needed persuading by a lot of people, but it was still mob rule.

Democracy is not the rule of the majority, it is the rule of reason.

Dictatorship by the majority simply means the oppression of all non-majority views, be they sexual, moral, political, religious, philosophical, whatever it might be.

And we're all in the minority about something.

Back on topic, sort of, why did the make of car matter in the first place, other than as cultural shorthand? Why not just say "luxury saloon"? Especially given that many of my chums wouldn't know an A8 from a pomegran8.

It seems like a large number of Audi drivers do. I would let the Donkey at em, then what ever is left, evicerate him in the public square staked out in the sun...

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> @Charles_Barrett: this is true, but you could apply this to so many things that get settled outside of court by public opinion anyways, that's it's nearly a moot point. i'm not sure if this is a good thing (probably bad, actually), but with the way we receive news through the media (biased or unbiased), it is what it is.

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> @Charles_Barrett: "The law is an ass." And you can't reason with a mad dog.

In the Delgado case, the "we" intimidated him. He was a murdering thug and I sincerely believe the good people were talking to him in the only language he could understand, to spare innocent, bereaved people unspeakable cruelty. They met his cruelty with a warning of what cruelty can feel like. Good for them.

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> @Novaload: Sorry, but I have to stand my ground... Merriam Webster describes democracy as follows:

1 a: government by the people; especially : rule of the majority

That tyranny in the U.S.A. (and most modern Western governments) is balanced by giving the courts an equal opportunity to chime in... thus having the effect of offering many rights/freedoms the masses considered unthinkable.

I'm not in law, but my pop was, and he done teached me good...

Charles_Barrett - Now with Variable-Valve Timing

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> @Charles_Barrett: This is a three step process.
.

1) Think of a relative or a friend who has children, and one of those children gets killed by some person driving erratically in a car;

2) Then imagine the person who killed the child pursuing your relative or friend for damages to his car that killed the child;

3) This is probably where you'd wanna kick some ass.

If it were one of mine Charles, I'd be the one going to jail for sure.

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> @Charles_Barrett: Generally true, but this is not mob rule, it's democracy at work in the egregious exception of Delgado and some others that come to mind. Sometimes mobs get it right--when they kill the monsters.

]]> <![CDATA[Tomas Delgado Withdraws His Lawsuit, May Still Enter the Embrace of Satan]]> Ooh, people... step back a bit. The civil Libertarian in me sounds an alarm when mob-rule comes in to play... Popular majority would have prevented women the right to vote, blacks their civil liberties, and continued to criminalize sodomy (including oral sex... ooh my!... straight or gay).

The guy's tacky and tasteless, but the fact that his decision was influenced by a threat of physical violence sounds more like Iran than Western Europe or the U.S.

Oh, and why didn't this guy go to jail the first time? Is there some aspect of Spanish law I'm unfamiliar with? Reminds me of the last time I was in the Netherlands. There was a trial for the first political assassination in over 100 years, and the killer got something ridiculous like ten years prison time.

Delgado should ride a bike and have someone drive a car to reenact the scene and convince the mob that damage was done to the car.
