Re “Possible Haidl Cover-Up Investigated,” Dec. 13:
The sum of the evidence irrefutably points to a conspiracy among high-level law enforcement to keep the incident quiet.
The underlying message is a reminder that there have always been laws for the rich and powerful (nobility) and another set for the rest of us (serfs).
It’s just got to make one wonder what crimes large political campaign contributors and members of their families can commit before law enforcement regains the memory of its sworn oath of office and something called integrity.
It’s sad that some of Haidl’s money evidently didn’t go into good parenting. I have to assume the political issues were more important. This story is a reminder to us all to vote wisely.
