"Only legalized form of homicide"?
I'm writing an essay and wanted to use a quote that is something along the lines of the saying that a motorist hitting and killing a bicyclist is the only legalized form of homicide (based on frequent non-prosecutions in those cases, or greatly diminished sentences). It's something to do with going very easy on deaths where the victim was on a bike.
I know I've seen it somewhere and wanted to get the quote right, and hope that someone on the board here has it handy, possibly with a source if there is one.

Self defense, insanity...
You're going to lose all credibility before you even get started. It's a quote, but meaningless.

But, to answer the question, I found a post on another site that contends the answer you are looking for is "from Jeff Baker's recent book, Pedaling Revolution:
The only legalized form of homicide in the U.S. occurs when a walker gets mowed over by a motorist."
That is quoted from http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post.cgi?id=3243
Might be what you're looking for.

That's it! I'm not sure it's completely meaningless, though it's obviously not strictly true.
Thanks for finding it.

Yeah, I apologize for that comment. I know nothing about your essay. That was foolish of me.

No problem. It's just a jumping-off point at the start, and I'm going to phrase it something like "cyclists sometimes joke that..."

One of the best things you can do is look into what essay writing services are charging these days and pass your work off to them. The essay writing service such as typemyessayz.com can have your essay done within 24 hours if you wish, and they currently have a very good online reputation. Giving your essay to another person to complete will free up a lot of your time you may use to become more organized and productive.

Thanks for the obvious spam post on an 8 year old thread, brought to you by an internet bot!

I was thinking prisons in North Korea. Those are horrible places. I have nothing against the people of North Korea, but their government needs to go. Unfortunately, trying to assassinate (The Fat Man) Kim Jong-Un would likely be the end of the hhitman's life.
