"The rich are different from you and me; they get to hit and run, almost killing a cyclist, but get off without serious charges because it is hard to be money manager for Smith Barney if you have a record. District Attorney Mark Hurlbert is not charging Martin Joel Erzinger with a felony, because "Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger's profession," which is managing billions for rich people."
This story has been circulating today, but I first saw it on Treehugger. If you do not mind signing your name to things like this, take a minute to sign the petition; the ramifications are too important not to do so, not just from a cycling standpoint but from a social standpoint as well. Everyone, no matter what their position needs to be held accountable for their actions.
