I guess the situation was drink drive, B&E/stealing, further drink drive. I guess it is a value call but (apart from an individuals attitude) but should anyone get away with this (no matter what race) is the bottom line, at least that's the way I approach these matters. A criminal is a criminal no matter what his colour/race etc. and should be dealt with accordingly.
If someone was injured/killed during the process would the outcome be more or less desirable?
