Moped rider hit, killed by driver during Northwest DC police chase

A lot of conservatives are in "Starsky and Hutch" mode and restrictions on high speed chases seem stupid to them. "What, and let the dude just drive off??"

Same approach we take to war diplomacy. We go with gut feels of "bombs'll fix it!" and lo and behold, it doesn't work.
