Re: Red Bull exec's kid arrested for fatal running over of c

Bring this to the world, start a world wide information campaign and ban on Red Bull and then see how much family support the little twerp get's then. I would imagine someone would have him feeling better and standing up straight in front of the of the magistrate in no time flat.
