Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 26, 2010

On March 11, Lars Gardner of St. George, Utah plowed his car into a tan Buick carrying 71-year-old Karen Gummow, and 75-year-old Illa Jean Moore. Gardner emerged without a scratch. Neither woman survived.

Despite being entirely at fault in the fatal accident, Gardner, a Utah Highway Patrolman, faces no criminal charges.

At the time of the crash, Gardner was driving 86 miles an hour in a 40 MPH zone, en route to the scene of a separate accident that had taken place a half hour earlier. After the call came Gardner took time to dress and grab a snack. Obviously it wasn?t necessary for him to drive like a maniac and risk the lives of others.

Salt Lake City NBC affiliate KSL reports that ?pressure was placed on investigators to clear Gardner of any wrongdoing and, despite an investigator?s recommendation to charge him, he was cleared.?

A beneficiary of commonplace official corruption often called ?professional courtesy,? Gardner is once again behind the wheel of a patrol car.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
