Perfect example is the trash backing that mustang kid who killed his friend and crippled his friends sister. They all are brainwashed into thinking he did nothing wrong, it was all just an everyday accident and he doesnt deserve to be punished. And worse, they think he will just walk away without penality! That right there BLOWS my mind. I dont go out as much as I once did, for fear of fights from defending my wife or loved ones from trash, and me getting arrested. MINOR offenses. Yet these people KILLED someone and think no penalty should come from it. > > FEAR keeps many people from attempting the dumb fucking actions they just thought about. Hell I know someone who hasnt had a license for years, drives more than I do every year, like a mad man actually, and some how, some way gets away without arrest when he gets pulled over. Its insane. No matter how strict you make the laws, it won’t really help in the end. It’s going to take major events like this to hopefully change one person’s mindset at a time. Hate to say it but it’s probably not only the drivers fault in this Saratoga crash, but partially the girl’s fault as well. Too many young kids take risks by putting themselves in other people’s hands and not comprehending what could happen. Honestly I do not see people changing for the better in the near future, it’s going to take a MAJOR horrific situation to really change the new and current generation’s view on life and how precious it is. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/saratoga-county-teen-killed-in-late-night-crash/262196)._
