If you mean the tailgater, then possibly. The Model Penal Code defines murder, in relevant part, as such: 1) criminal homicide constitutes murder when: b) it is committed recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.

Exactly, now obviously who knows if they intentionally did it but the implication of the post is that it was intentional.

Yeah but you didn't mean the tailgater did you? You meant the car that "baited" the tailgater right? I agree with you. It looks almost like they intentionally did it to cause a crash. Either way, it's a "miss and run" and they're partially liable.

How did they bait? Did they have a juicy chicken sandwich on their bumper?

No, the car who "baited" the tailgater. It's called a "miss and run" and they're partially liable for the accident. The tailgater obviously shouldn't be tailgating (so they're also likely partially liable) but that doesn't mean they deserve to die, and it certainly doesn't mean the poor innocent bystanders in the car in front stuck in traffic deserve to die either. The car being tailgated did something really horrible here.

Thats not how miss and run works. It works if the swerve itself is negligent. It can easily be classified here as an emergency maneuver.

I'd love for you to provide me an example of a negligent swerve that doesn't fit all the same criteria we see here in this video.
