Can I blatantly kill two people and get a paid vacation, too?

..."bears repeating" - http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002241.html It should be noted, as well, that the riders were clearly very experienced, so it's difficult to see this as being anything other than the fault of the deputy. Absolute pity all the way around.

I think it bears (bares? this phrase makes no sense) repeating that "As is customary when a local law enforcement officer is involved in a fatal crash, the deputy was placed on paid administrative leave and the California Highway Patrol is conducting the investigation." So, no guilt on the guy yet. But if he was sleeping? Bad news bears(bares).
