yea i do not agree with charge of manslaughter…they both took the risk of doing such actions…
You guys do know that the police were called immediately, right… He crashed right in front of my girlfriends old place of employment and my girlfriends friend called immediately so its not like Chris could have done anything.
So because someone happened to be there, Chris still couldn’t have fucking stopped?
im going to go back and read a few of the other posts. But to sit there and scream “string him up” makes you as diluted as every one else on the same opinion, and a hipocrite just like everyone. What he did was retarded at best, but man slaughter it was not. Honestly he shouldnt even be the one getting sued by the families. Ok maybe the guy’s familly, but the girl’s family has no one to blame but the driver of the mustang. But in all honesty if you yourself havent been in the same situaion you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about or the mind state that you would be in at that point. Again, im not defending his actions but look at yourself before looking at someone else. i have actually talked to mejack a bit and from what i understand he didnt even know the guy had crashed until later. As far as the charges are concerned. Have you ever been in front of a judge for something this serious? A person that isnt too bright will easily fold under that pressure and do as advised by the “all knowing” lawyer. i dont mean to sound like im tearing into you Paulo, i guess this is more of a shout out to everyone that is on that level, but its easy to condem a person if you are only sitting on the sidelines and observing.

I HAVE gone out of my way to save someones life before. Fuck, I could have kept walking, but I saw someone in distress, jumped into the ocean, and saved someone from drowning. So I can personally say if I didn’t do something, and that kid would have gotten seriously hurt or killed, I would not be able to live with myself.
As far as being in front of a Judge, that has no relevance in what I’m arguing. And I tried to clearly state my comments were based off of whether or not he did in fact see the person crash, and just bail. If he didn’t, ok. I find it hard to believe that it would go unnoticed, but w/e that’s my opinion.
Don’t call me hypocritical, when I actual have the MORAL INTEGRITY to stop and help someone, and hate when other people don’t. That’s what I’m saying “string him up” for.
Easy there hero. Actuall if what you say is true than you kind of are. Good for you.I and im sure a few other people have also helped people out with no expectations of a reward or regard for our own safety. From what i have heard from him and others he did not see the car loose conrol and crash. I am inclined to believe him due to the fact that his story has allways remained consistent. Practiced? doubt it. Chris is a good kid but a bright one he is not. also he is a shitty ass liar. Dont ask how i know.
Anyway i think he is being made an example of and that his case has been blown way out of proportion due to the actions and choices of him and someone else. Is as simple as that, and it really is as simple as that.
No to belittle the facts(i know some of the people on here were friends with the victims), but i disagree that he is responcible for the deaths. it is unfortunate that the judge and Da see it differently.
It really is shit like this that makes me loose faith in humanity.
not to be a douche, but cliffs? i don’t want to read through what i assume to be 17 pages of paulo being right.
Neon-driver’s sentence is unjust, the point is argued: did he see the accident and keep driving or truly not notice, neon-driver’s friends use their 18 year old minds to argue as hard as they are mentally able to for his innocence.
random insensitive mustang remarks
random neon remarks
No updates as far as the actual case goes. =\
was the neon driver someone on here?
Nah I don’t believe so.
I only brought up my experience to prove a point. I try to help people on a daily basis. I truly believe in random kindness and general courtesy as well, so it’s a lifestyle type of thing for me.
Again, I try to make clear that my comments hinge on certain unknown factors. I am not the type to just disregard any and all other possibilities just because I am trying to prove my point. Sorry if you thought that, but I’m just making my side of the discussion and trying to see how people on this site could possibly think that it would be ok to do that, IF it were the case.
And I agree with him not being responsible for the deaths DIRECTLY. If he didn’t see it, he is not really responsible at all besides the fact that he participated in the race. But if he did see it, then it could have been the difference between life and death so therefore, he should be held partially responsible.
lol <3
As for this kid getting charged for the deaths of the other two is bullshit… The other driver knew the risk of street racing and he paid the ultimate price for it. Sorry I just hate when people can’t take responsibility of their actions and feel the need to blame others.
FUCKING HOFF STYLE!!!
For the rest of that day, I ran around the shores of the beach pretending I was in slow motion.
Paulo, I see your point, but the issue isn’t: was what the neon driver did morally right or responsible? It’s: was he liable for the deaths of the two people in the mustang, as a matter of law? I guess that somehow he is, in that he was obviously charged and plead guilty. On the face of the matter, I can’t see how the prosecutor pulled it off, but there is so much that goes into interpreting statutes and governing rule of law and I don’t have all the facts. None of us do.
IMO (i.e. my moral pov): he deserves a lot more than he will probably receive in punishment, but I’m also an advocate for equitable application of law and justice. You have to take the facts and apply the law without being emotional and vindictive.
Understood. But that is all I’m really arguing. I am saying that if he did see it, he is so immoral that he deserves whatever they give him. But yes that’s my opinion. I understand the laws and such so I guess you could say I’m arguing against peoples moral decisions because one day I may be affect by a person that thinks like that, ya know?
I don’t really know enough about that actual laws to say whether or not the manslaughter charge is justified. That’s for sure.
You guys need a better topic to argue over.This one is boring.
I thought it would have been done with a LOOOOONNNG time ago.
Meh, I’m bored… Off to study for my last exam, :barf: Civil Procedure, so that I can spend the rest of the weekend on the slopes.
Does anyone know where i can find pictures of the crash, i havent seen them yet, and there is 17 pages… Street racing isnt the smartest thing for sure and its dangerous, its sad to see how it ruined peoples lives.
