Did Laura Bush Kill a Guy and Got Away?

April 20, 2009

There is not much you can find as a controversy in Laura Bush’s profile. But may be there are some grey shades in Laura Welch’s. According to several websites, Laura Welch, who happens to be Lady Bush and the First Lady, was involved in a road accident case in 1963. The websites claim that she was a teen, 17 years old then and ran over a guy after ignoring the lights.

There are two things about this whole story that has raised public curiosity. One, that Laura Welch was not charged for killing the guy, despite being under the influence alcohol (as some say). This may just be an opinion or one more evidence to support the fact that the rich and powerful have easily got away because of loopholes in judiciary system.

Michael Dutton Douglas used to date Laura Welch and he was the one who actually got killed when Laura could not control her vehicle. Laura was driving her Chevrolet Impala sedan, when the fatal accident happened. Douglas succumbed soon after the crash and was declared as dead on arrival.

Obviously, people are not that stupid to have a muckraking session. It is more than gimmicks and publicity stunt. American constitution is the ideal for any democratic society or community. If things like this happen in America, what about other nations?

The police, legal system and other institutions have been criticised a lot of times to play foul and favour the privileged class. Earlier when interracial conflicts were at large, the “Jim Crow” period, police brutality against African Americans, against gay community, the Judiciary did keep mum and silent, making the wrong people to finally receive the brunt. If that is how it has been going and if that is how it will be going, than there is no point to endeavour the citizenship of world’s progressed nation.
