a poorly thought out comment below by NBPTL6o4;8094346

this is the same lame, bs argument used, for example, by an impaired or drunk driver who kills someone:
''hey i might have been impaired...but i didn't mean to purposely
slam into that car/persons, kill them and also their destroy their surviving family''
or it's used also by someone who texts and/or calls on their cell phone
when driving distracted and kills or hurts someone

having no INTENT is no excuse for GROSS NEGLIGENCE in a court of law.
(btw, some groups, e.g, 'families for justice' are even seeking penalty
upgrades to 'vehicular manslaughter'
for particular driving fatalities caused by neglectful drivers)

ever heard of making responsible choices before you get behind the wheel, dude?

so yeah imo any actions that endanger the lives of others on the road by your impaired or drunk driving,
or distracted driving (texting, cell calling)or speeding (or being negligent) ARE just that:
stupid, selfish and irresponsible.

save it for the track or your video games

you're in charge of a 2000-3000 lb fast moving car among many other cars
(with many drivers, some of whom are new...or are distracted...or are just plain bad drivers)
so if you're distracted or negligent your car can so quickly become a killing machine.

and now these two young guys have had their lives tragically snuffed out...
and their surviving family members (and friends) are gutted with grief.

btw...just heard over the news some alarming new stats which show that the
most distracted drivers are now teens and young 20 somethings ...
and the main culprit? not only texting but also checking in and updating their
facebook status on their smartphhones, when behind the wheel
...can you fucking believe it?

lastly, the deceased have been identified:

It sucks that they died but its a big mistake and they paid the price. I don't understand why you would come into this thread and call their actions stupid and call them idiots in the end.. if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all, and i know you wouldnt give a rat's ass, but i for sure will never go to rise auto now because of ur remarks, get some public relation tips online or some shit, you look like a real jackass now and for friends and friends on RS and wherever that know em, you got my full support if you need to talk or anything im here for ya, ive lost many friends over the years and i know how painful it is, keep ya head up guys[/QUOTE]
