Community Letters On Self Driving Cars And Second Amendment Views
The letters cite 2017 murder and 2018 projections with 1 500 deaths in 2018 up to March 19 tied to a self driving car. They compare 40 000 annual auto deaths to driver error and question safety versus future autonomous vehicles. The second letter quotes Judge Kozinski on the Second Amendment as a doomsday provision and warns government overreach threats to gun rights.

US court verdict backs Bolivian rights defendants in killings
A Fort Lauderdale jury found former Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada and ex-defense minister Jose Carlos Sanchez Berzain liable for murders of indigenous people in 2003. The $10 million award marks a landmark use of U.S. law, under the Alien Tort Act and Torture Victim Protection Act, to pursue justice for victims and survivors amid Bolivian political conflict and gas resource protests. Survivors’ relatives filed the suit in 2007, naming eight victims, including an 8 year old and a pregnant mother, with Becker noting the case grew from a student project and global human rights concerns.
