Some 17-year-old punk mowed down an entire family of six yesterday afternoon near Disneyland. Investigators seem to have ruled out drugs or alcohol as factors; maybe he just confused his gas pedal with his brake? Whatever the reason, this moron need to have his license yanked and spend a few years in jail. http://tinyurl.com/55zed Car hits family, kills child Adult, two children are critically injured in the accident near Disneyland. By JENNIFER MUIR The Orange County Register ANAHEIM Disney souvenirs, crumpled T-shirts and recently worn tennis shoes marked the spot near a crosswalk Monday night where a car plowed through a family of six, killing a 7-year-old child and leaving three family members in critical condition. Police and Anaheim Fire Department officials, piecing together the accident throughout the evening, said they believed the family had a green light when a maroon Cadillac sedan struck them. A 17-year-old male, believed to be the driver, was held for questioning. Police did not say if he would be charged. They did not identify him because he is a minor.  SignatureSloth Kills! http://www.geocities.com/slothkills/ Was the family in a car? If so, what kind? It sounds like the 17 yr old ran a red light and smacked into them. i wonder what was going thru his head. >Was the family in a car? No, they were pedestrians in a crosswalk.

Or a purse or an arm, maybe. Would be really poetic if a set of car keys was in the hand of that arm.... :) On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 06:54:19 -0800, Scott en Aztlán <slothkills@NOyahooSPAM.com> wrote: >Some 17-year-old punk mowed down an entire family of six yesterday >afternoon near Disneyland.

A little harsh, given your ignorance of what happened, aren't you?

I don't know about anyone else, but I grow tired of seeing these stories of people killed and seriously injured with 'no charges filed' when irl, for much more minor stuff cops write tickets as they feel like. There are two options here. 1) there is an investigation, and if so why does someone need to be killed before cops 'investigate' rather than just write tickets with a collision? 2) There are no charges/tickets. If so, why is killing someone 'just an accident' not worthy of anything more but heaven forbid we drive 80mph on an empty interstate. > > On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 06:54:19 -0800, Scott en Aztlán > ><slothkills@NOyahooSPAM.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > accident' not worthy of anything more but heaven forbid we drive 80mph on > an empty interstate. No sh.t. Something is seriously wrong when merely driving with the flow of traffic in a safe, considerate manner and somehow being picked out by a cop is an automatic $200+ fine, but you can kill people with impunity. I realize that this might sound a little Judy-esque, but it really doesn't make any sense at all. nate > No sh.t.

It does make sense once we look at this from the priorities that best suit government. Punishing someone who kills people with their vehicle will cost the state money. Ticketing people who drive normal and reasonably makes money for government. I am begining to think it really is that simple. > I don't know about anyone else, but I grow tired of seeing these stories > of people killed and seriously injured with 'no charges filed' when irl, > for much more minor stuff cops write tickets as they feel like. There are > two options here. Exactly. You get a ticket for a harmless offense like 'speeding' on empty roads but you get scot-free if you kill someone? Goes to show how absurd traffic law enforcement is in this country >On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 06:54:19 -0800, Scott en Aztlán ><slothkills@NOyahooSPAM.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >"Whatever the reason"? >A little harsh, given your ignorance of what happened, aren't you? Perhaps it's my lack of imagination, but I can't seem to come up with any scenario which would justify running down six people in a marked crosswalk.

I think you said it best right there. There's no excuse or scenario that makes this okay.

Make that a few decades. |
