Mango kid Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 no evidence that the kid was texting while driving the only time I've ever seen texting come about was when metzer says it according to the court documents there's no evidence that texting took place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I really, really wish we could ignore the rules just once and have one of the mods deal with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGION Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 But... He was right - Atleast with his level of knowledge - to question this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 The only solace I take is that it probably doesn't affect JR all that much - I mean nothing's going to give him his wife back. I mean yes you'd want someone punished for it, and maybe revenge. I know I'd want death for anyone who killed a member of my family - but even then, it's still not going to bring them back. Also that kid is going to be haunted by the life he took (if he's a semi decent human) for a moment of stupidity - (or an honest mistake, if he wasn't texting) and maybe that will work in terms of rehabilitation - better than any jail term. Just a note to respect a car when you're controlling it - because in your hands is a potentially lethal weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKhan18 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I wouldn't say that the guy deserves jail time, but, if he was texting and driving, I believe he should've had his license terminated, or at least suspended. If that wasn't the case, and it was just a tragic accident, then he doesn't deserve any punishment. Texting while driving is a very reckless thing to do, and if that was in fact what he was doing, than it is his responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 He'd have got "Death by Dangerous driving" over here - which I believe now carries a custodial sentence up to life (25 years) Tell that to the guy who killed my mums cousin, her fiance and unborn baby. That dude got 18 months. But in any case I agree that if it was simply an accident, the guy shouldn't be punished aside from license revocation. However if he was texting and driving, then yes he certainly deserves jail time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect people to bash you (and now me) for saying this but I don't think years of jail time would solve anything. Especially if the kid is decent and regrets what happened. I know damn well that the regret of me accidentally killing somebody would be far worse than the punishment of say, a few years in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 If he was texting and driving and killed someone he should get jail time, imo. Not saying he should get 25 years or anything but he should get more than a slap on the wrist, a fine and his license terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango kid Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Jan was driving at 9:33pm the night before when she was struck from behind by a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis, which was driven by a 17-year-old male. Both the Mercury and Jans scooter caught fire but the male was not injured. Police also said the crash was under investigation. there were also both going downhill my guess the kid just got his license riding at night accidentally rear-ended the scooter would cause it to catch fire this is pretty much all that's been reported on the whole case as far as I can tell it was just an accidental rear-ending that happens every day to have tragic results I'm disregarding the texting part because Metzler is the only one who reported saying that it's not in any police report it's not any court records it's not in anything else this is also why you should always wear a helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Austin, this involves a woman being killed in a tragic accident. Can you stop trying to be 'Mr. Contrary' and prove people wrong? It's *censored*ing disgusting and completely inappropriate. Just stop, for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
