Fatal Accident Blamed on Drag Race.

[qwick]

This was on the local news,and I just wanted to know if you guys thought that the charges being filled on the driver are "fair."







A drag race caused an accident that killed a 15-year-old Sunday, according to the Houston County sheriff's office.


According to Capt. Robert West, two cars were racing on Branch View Trail around 9 p.m. Sunday when the driver of a 2005 Toyota Camry lost control of his vehicle and rolled over.



According to West, Christopher Shim of Stone Mountain, a 15-year-old passenger in that car, was killed.



He said the driver of the car is Robert Chung, age 20, of Tucker. Chung is being held in the Houston County jail on charges of first-degree vehicular homicide and various other charges, West said.



West said he did not believe alcohol was involved in the crash. The driver of the second vehicle in the race was not identified. The accident remains under investigation.

I think they are fair 100%. One because he was racing a Camry.....and two because he shouldn't have been doing dumb shit like that with someone in the car. 20 years old....he is old enough to know better.

[NVEOUS]

i AGREE with slow on this one. Who races a camry??

[FasTech]

I think its 100% fair. When you street race, which is already breaking the law, and kill someone..... you're just a dumbass and should be charged to the fullest. If he were just driving and wrecked, killing the kid, I do not think this would be fair. But along the lines of this, I do think that the charges are fair. Let him spend 10+ years in prision and see if he does it again.

exactly.

[WhiteAccord]

Has anyone thought that they weren't racing and one of two drivers just made an error? There are no witnesses that says they were racing, nor did they said anyone had admitted it. Its all talk from a police officer(From his point of view)... do you really believe what everyone says? Do you really believe everything you hear from out goverment?

[Ran]

Doesn't the current V6 Camry have like 300HP?

Maybe the driver said he was racing? Someone said something because they know there was another car involved.

i see that bein fair. yea it was an accident but it was his fault that his friend died

Who ever put "No" as to the charges being fair or not is a dumb shit.

[blackboi50]

goddamnit....

:lmfao:....thats the funniest shit ive seen in a while!!! ahhaha :lmao:.....1

[YoTa_BoX]

100% fair...

but the driver should have died for stealing 5 years His dumb ass has had the privilege to live and now his 15 year old friend is dead... I think he should rot in jail.

[oneSLOWex]

100% fair...

but the driver should have died...

:goodjob:

Its messed up how this never happens....but if you think about it...living with what you did is probably worse ya know?

Dude, you can't be serious. I drive with my 15 year old nephew sometimes and no way has he ever 'egged' me on to race or whatever. I also taught him better than that.

Bottomline, the DRIVER of the car who was 20, should have known better.

QFT. Someone telling you to go faster or trying to get you to do it does not make your foot press on the gas anymore.

[Jason..]

Damn right 15 year old kid in the car?Come on

[redrumracer]

Everybody should know by now that if someone is injured or killed in the even of a street race that all driving parties are held responsible. so yes it is 100% correct imo.

[oneSLOWex]

Whats wrong is if they do end up finding the other driver he will be charged too which is completely messed up.

[The Creeper]

Who races a Camry? He deserves prison time just for that.

[RL...]

If the 15 year old kid wanted to go along for the ride in the street race, then he is 100% accountable for his actions in my eyes. So since it was his choice he should have known there would be risks. So the driver should not get vehicular homicide, although he should get street racing/reckless driving.

But if the kid did not know his older friend was going to be street racing and it was not premeditated then he should get vehicular homicide.

So the guy driving the car is not responsible for what happens to his passengers? Even though he is older and should be more mature than the 15 year old he has with him?

First of all 15 year olds should be smart enough to make decisions and weigh risks, especially for acts as dangerous as street racing.

And I ask you to let me ride in your car while you street race, it was my choice and I should be accountable for my actions. And as far as maturity goes, lots of ppl on here street race, whether they say so or not.

reread my post.

[SicStang03]

I never said he shouldn't be held responsible, but first degree vehicular homicide isn't the right charge IMO. I said involuntary manslaughter is what I think he should be charged with. That's why I think the charge isn't fair.

I really doubt the 15 year old was screaming stop or slow down. I was 15 once and I loved a thrill as much as every other young boy. Just sad some people never get the chance to learn from their mistakes.

Funny thing is hte new v6 camrys are faster and handle better than 85% of the cars on this site.

[BanginJimmy]

Charges definitely fit. I dont care who the passenger was or why he was there, the driver is responsible for what happens. If, during the commission of a felony, you kill someone it is murder. Because street racing is not a felony, vehicular homicide fits nicely.


Here's a funny little tidbit for you. If you are running from the cops (in a car) and the cop wrecks and kills someone, guess who is responsible for the death? Heres a hint, its not the cop.

If you're going to drive like an idiot, do it alone.

[G.C]

I think its case by case. I'm pretty sure the 15 year old knew that they were going to be in a race. So he should have known the shit that could have happened to him when he's in a car that's street racing.

I don't think VH is the right choice of charge here either. It was the other guy's choice to ride shotgun in the car or not.

What gives you this impression?

If you choose to have surgery and die on the table because the doc is doing something he knows is wrong, is it your fault you died?

[G.C]

Yes its your fault you died, if you know that the doc is doing something wrong, why would you get the surgery from him?

If you didn't know the doc was doing something wrong, then no its not your fault.

same with this 15 year old kid. That's why i said its case by case. But i'm pretty sure the 15 year old wasn't crying his ass off begging him not to race. If a kid is begging you not to race, i'm pretty sure you won't race.

Who the fuck races a Camry?

[quickdodge®]

Driver should have died.
Since he didn't, he should face murder charges.
He should get life without parole.

That's all there is to it.

Again, what gives this impression. I know that it was never mentioned in the article that the 15yo was the adult in the car and told the 20yo to race.

Life imprisonment is stupid and wastes money. If someone should rot in a cell their whole life they should just be put to death, either way there life will be just as meaningless. And ppl deserve second chances. I would argue that most of the ppl on this website have street raced atleast once in their life. It may not have been a race like out of a movie, but I think we've all put the pedal to the floor with another car beside us at one point in our life. Even you qd.

Although you will deny it. Because you are just too cool and smart to do anything stupid. Isn't that right?

? the 20 year old was driving, the 15 year old was passenger.

If the 15 year old knew the race was occuring before getting into the car, the charge is unfair. If the 15 year old passenger did not know about the race and the driver decided to do it without regard for the passenger then the charge is fair.

As with all your other posts, this falls into the "who cares what you think" category.

You seem to feel the need to unleash a whole new breed of stupidity with each post you set onto this site. The motherfucker should rot in a cell. Let him be reminded of why he is there. Fuck him. Let him be reminded every day for the rest of his life. Let him see what he's missing because of his stupidity. Some people deserve second chances. If you want to believe someone in his position deserves one, then I could only wish you were the passenger in that car.

If you want to argue that most everyone on here has street raced, you'd lose. I've never participated in this activity. I've always been smart enough to realize legal and illegal.

So, once again, you lose. You should quit because there is nothing in this world that you can beat me at. Unless we compare IQs as a golf score where the lowest wins. Stop trying to make yourself seem so sure of shit. Later, QD.

ALL BOW DOWN FOR THE REIGNING KING OF MORONITY!!!

The passenger died no matter whether he knew or not. Does common sense just leave you behind like a NASCAR car with a one legged man? The driver is responsible for everything and everybody in his car. It doesn't matter if the passenger knew what was up. Holy goddamn shit at you trying to instill logic when you have none to instill. Fucking stop you fucking idiot. Later, QD.

BTW I am still waiting for a quote from the article that implies the passenger intentionally got in the car for a drag race.

Look i said "I'm pretty sure". It didn't say the guy forcefully strapped the 15 year old to the chair and raced. We both dont know what went on, but i'm just taking a guess.

Even so, he still KILLED the 15 year old by doing an ILLEGAL activity, whether the 15 year old knew beforehand or not, the driver is still FULLY AND TOTALLY responsible for his actions and harm to HIMSELF and OTHERS.

OK so what makes you "pretty sure"? The article doesnt mention anything about what they were doing leading up to the "race".


If you want to give the driver a free ride you need to come up with something better than baseless conjecture.
