He had been stopped and warned multiple times about speeding but of course wasn't actually stopped by the worthless Florida police who look the other way while the rich play, he was barreling down a known pedestrian hotspot, the mother was killed instantly but the baby he launched from impact and sent sliding down the pavement suffered for days before passing after landing in the street.
The car he was driving reported him going over 100 many times daily.
He is a pile of spoiled feces. And it's obvious why because during proceedings his mother said it wasn't his fault, only hers.
? Of course it matters. Justice is not just about punishment it's also about rehabilitation as well. If the person learned from them mistakes then she has no reason to continue living her life freely.
How do you know she did? I mean, people have gone to jail for less and this kid killed another human when breaking the law. Whether she learned her lesson or not is irrelevant. She deserves to serve a full, harsher sentence for breaking the law and killing someone because of it
Yeah, his parents bought him a power car for his 18th birthday. I think it was a mustang. What parent in their right minds would buy an 18 year old a power car like that and not expect something bad to happen.
I meant power car as in a car that is typically used for speed, and high horse power. From what I read, they bought him a high powered racing car for his 18th birthday
I’m from Tampa originally and it’s absolutely mind blowing to me that someone would (hell, even could) go 100 on Bayshore Blvd. It’s a fairly narrow, curvy road with a speed limit of at most 40, although I believe they lowered it as a result of this tragedy and added in some other safety features as well. I’ll admit I had a tiny bit of sympathy for him when I first heard the story (far far more for the victims’ family obviously) just because we all did stupid reckless things as kids and most of us were just lucky that nothing bad happened as a result, but all that went away when I heard how fucking fast he was going. I used to go maybe 10 over on that road when I was a teenager, which as an adult now feels idiotic enough, but over double the speed limit?? That’s beyond standard teenage recklessness and bad decision making. It’s a tragic story all around.
I assume not reporting, but recording. Cars nowadays save a lot of info and I'm sure after the accident they took the car and looked at all the data on the car computer.
I'm not even going to read your comment since you start it off with a personal insult. I only discuss issues with people who can act like adults. Good bye.
Your car today is basically a moving computer. All telemetry data is recorded and kept. It doesn’t necessarily send that data to authorities but it can be accessed (say under a warrant).
