Which Case Defines Your Culture?

In Texas, a grand jury declines prosecuting a man who shot and killed two robbers fleeing his neighbor’s house.

 

In Belgium, a couple murdered their spouses in 2001 to collect the insurance money and run away together.  The man was sentenced to 20 years, but released last month.  The woman?  Sentenced to 15 and released last year.  (Here’s the link, but it’s in French.  Sorry.)

 

I suppose which culture you feel more comfortable in depends on who you plan to kill.
