8 Killed in Drag Race on Suburban Road

[Alan®]

did they catch the "racers"

nope not yet

[ftp]

my bet is it was a detective that got tipped off and was tryin to sneak up.. imo,he should be the one facing charges not the racers..Who drives with no headlights at night in a situation like that????

That's differnet though that basically just following too close. How can you justify charging someone with manslaughter when those people shouldn't have been there in the first place?

Never said anything about following too close. That would not be applicable in this situation.
People have the right of way over vehicles on the road. Even if a person is jaywalking, legally, you cannot hit them. I did not say it was right, just the legality of the situation.

what i was saying that if a car hits a parked car on the side of the road like the example you gave it would simply be following to close or something along those lines.

Smokey smoke.

Yes they should be charged. They were engaged in an illegal activity. They were negligent, did not yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and driving erratically. Not to mention street racing. Later, QD.

they should be charged for street racing, but not with the deaths. and there was no reason for the racers to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, they're not the ones that hit and killed the spectators. also dont forget the people were also engaged in illegal activities just for being there and watching the race. hte only thing the racers did was race. and as for the other guy i dont know about you but if i see a big cloud of smoke covering the road im goin to slow down. the punishment should fit the crime.

OMG did anyone READ the damn article......

Race happens, they do burnouts.....
Crowd gathers on street in burnout smoke
Ford Crown Vic drives on street not knowing in the smoke was 20 something people standing in the street

Maybe some of you understand this way
1. Crowd Gathers are the Varsity first Thursdays
2. People do Burnouts after 10pm, smoke fogs the area
3. An actual Varsity customer drives through fog, thinking its a parking lot but its rice heaven, 70% of the posters here get killed

You got fvcked on your education because you can't even read a story correctly.





Cliff notes:

Two cars burnout (big smokey smokey)
Cars take off racing
Crowd runs into road to view race (big smokey smoke from burnout is still present)
White crown vic drives through smoke and plows over crowd

The end

Wow. I'll never understand the "logic" some people have in their defense of "street racers." Later, QD.

Incorrect. Following too closely happens on a moving car. Not a parked one. If the person in the Crown Vic had hit a car that was parked in the middle of the road, they could still be charged legally. It happens here some.

im not a cop so i wouldnt know what to charge someone under those circumstances but either way I still can't see charging the driver of the white vic for the deaths of those people.
