Please explain how the theft of a pack of cigarettes justifies being shot and killed.
Being punched out, yes I can see the Karma there. Being forced to smoke the entire pack, yes I can see the karma there. But being shot and killed, I don't see karma in action, I see a panicked cop, who didn't have the sense to call for back up when Brown was already a safe distance away and running, after the first two shots were fired inside the car.
in fact I won't use commenting systems that aren't site specific, such as Disqus which is just a front for the collection personal data for advertising.

As far as I know it doesn't. In my country we pay Goods and Service Tax as part of our connection fee, and GST on any over use of allocated Bandwidth charges, over the amount we have already paid for. GST also applies to books, Newspapers and our Telephone service. I'm sure any other country where a VAT or GST is applied to Goods and Services has the same thing.
From what I understand the Hungarian thing was something quite different.

No.
Although the police did shoot one stupid dick, because he decided to become a martyr, and stabbed an officer, when they went round to his place to arrest him for allegedly sending money to terrorists in Syria.
