Re: High Speed Chase. 7 Kids Dead. Who to blame?

City,

Of all the arguments posted so far. I think you are headed the right way.


Question: Did any ofyou "borrow" your parents car for a little spin when you were under the age of 16?
I did. Not often. And I got caught once. I was so afraid I considered running away and joining the Navy.[img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
I would like to think I have been raised well. But there I was. "Borrowing" the jeep or the jag at 14 and 15.
And I can only wonder what I would have done at that age if a cop would have pulled me over.
Figure into the equation that I hung out with older kids and we always had dirt bikes. We would "avoid" the police all the time.
So put me in a "borrowed" car with some girls. At age 15. (The kid probably thought he was getting laid for this whole thing.)(Possibly for the first time).

At 15 every day is an adventure.
The adventure started when they all met up together. Then "borrowed" the car. When the cops hit the lights it was Hollywood Movie time, or possibly need for speed hot pursuit time. It was another part of the adventure.

It was a terrible thing. Im not sure where to point the finger.
