Sometimes You Read A Sentence In A News Item...

...that you can't quite comprehend. So you read it again. 

And you still can't quite take it in: 

Adding to their suffering is the fact that the driver they believe to be responsible, who lives in the same village, has still not been charged over the crash.
From his conversations with police, Chris believes the woman driver is ill — whether with a pre-existing condition, or as a result of the accident, he’s not sure.
Nevertheless, he’s been told she’s been seen driving around the village, making the possibility of meeting her face-to-face an ever-present, terrible prospect.
And frightening … although she’s ‘only’ in her 70s, it is still unclear whether she was medically fit to drive on the day of the accident.

How is it possible that a state's agents, that are so attuned to the delicate sensibilities of every snowflake and whiny crybaby out there that they will manhandle an elderly man preaching the word of his religion in public, will yet allow this woman to continue driving while they drag their feet over the investigation?

An absolutely heartbreaking story. This case looks pretty clear cut. The driver who is alleged to have been involved in this fatal incident is known, so you would expect that the police would be charging the woman. The alleged offender may be 'ill' but she appears to be well enough to drive around the local area. Something smells bad about this case it really does. Does the alleged offender have friends in the police or something which would explain the police's reticence to engage in this case? Does she have a 'get out of gaol free card' in the form of a 'protected characteristic'? The police's sloth in this case is pretty odd as they do not normally hesitate to arrest when a person is ill and the offence is as serious as this one.

What's galling about this case is that if this was a case of the alleged offender in this instance speaking out of turn on Twitter, the police would be all over it. Sadly it seems that for Cambridgeshire Police dead babies do not seem to matter to them.

Yep, and this all meshes with the post below. We don't want leftists out of the public sector just out of spite, we want them out because they provably have no interest in doing the jobs for which they're paid. If Grandma Killkiddy had 'misgendered' someone on Twitter they would have sent in a SWAT team.

So true Fahrenheit, These days its almost impossible to work out what the police are really interested in. Revenue gathering and having easy a life as possible would seem to be high on the list, closely related to taking the knee classes, nail painting training and PC recognition it seems.

Sometimes I do wonder why there isn't more murder around, since the police don't take an interest in real victims, and eventually those victims might have to take justice into their own hands.

In other words, one has to wonder why the old bitch isn't dead herself.

Like so many of these cases. It seems police don't take protection of the public as seriously as they should anymore.

"If Grandma Killkiddy had 'misgendered' someone on Twitter they would have sent in a SWAT team."

I fear you're right.

"Sometimes I do wonder why there isn't more murder around, since the police don't take an interest in real victims, and eventually those victims might have to take justice into their own hands."

I wonder the same.
