Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
[QUOTE=-p.tiddy-]mrpuente would you kill the driver if you saw a cell phone in hand with unsent text message?...sober driver?[/QUOTE]
A little more rare than a drunk driving incident, but ill entertain.
Yes, depending on how it happened and possible state of mind during the incident. Absolutely.
Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
[QUOTE=mrpuente]not saying its the right thing to do, but if I were in the scenario I would have done the same thing. Are you saying you wouldnt?
Who cares if hes a college kid? Are you saying he should be pardoned because of a potential future? What about the two young sons that didnt even get a chance at a life? yeah thats smart...
Knowing how many people die from drunk driving it could be argued that driving while intoxicated resulting in death is premeditated.[/QUOTE]
if it was college kid or drunk teen...I'm not killing them
it would make me feel worse
I'l let the law deal with them...most of the time when this happens the driver's life is ruined anyway

it's not as rare at all...an enormous amount of auto accidents involve a cell phone these days
it sounds like you will just murder anyone regardless of how or why they crashed the car...that's not the answer

Thats not good. However drunk driving deaths accumulate to that number in 1 year alone. Thus making texting while driving deaths incredibly more rare.
Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
again im not saying its rare!
in comparison to drunk driving deaths? lets be honest it is.
Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash

driver might have been some college kid...made a horrible mistake, like all kids do
[/QUOTE]
He made a mistake and he paid for it, like those 2 kids paid for his mistake also. Pretty simple stuff.
Careless mistake, wow how retarded can one person be.
Re: Man Murders A Drunk Driver After Car Crash
I have to imagine texting and driving is a much harder statistic to determine at times though. Regardless, I few both as being unacceptable.
