Quality of Life vs. Quality of Mercy

Okay, in my opinion, this article started off interesting with all the personal stories but then at the end, I became a little confused. First off, let me express my opinion on the personal stories by themselves. In the beginning, the story is about a ten year old boy is killed and how the media just moves on after a more interesting story comes along or more evidence that has nothing to do with the boy. With the Washington politician and how he had sex with a minor, I found that extremely revolting. He barely had ANY time in prison and walked away without remorse. How can one person do something so horrible yet everyone just accepts it after he has a minor charge against him? This is why, I do not understand our political system. 
With the rest of the article, its basically the narrator ranting about a double parking incident. In some ways, I agree with this narrator. One point that he makes is that he still received the ticket even though his wife is clearly in the car with the car running yet the limo in front of him does not receive a ticket because HE is in the driver's seat. If it was me in this situation, I would have flipped out. The allegations are completely equal, in my opinion. I do not think it was fair that one vehicle got ticketed while the other did not.
