Why the fuck isn’t be being charged with murder and attempted murder? What a horrifying read
It’s the law. Want to kill a crowd and get away with it? Use a vehicle and get drunk first.
If not murder, at least man’s laughter
That typo is grim
It doesn’t need to have “elderly” in the headline - this is intended to promote sympathy for the driver. If they are allowed / permitted / entitled to drive - and age is not a limiting factor of this privilege - they should be privileged enough to be fully responsible for their actions. If you live in a part of the world that feels like car ownership is mandatory for survival, what will you do in 10, 20, 30, 40 years time when you still feel like a 40 year old on the inside, but your skills and reactions are severely limited, yet you have no awareness of your own limitations? This is the scary part of age related decline - you are often completely unaware of your own decline (even after you plough through some human beings, you will be saying, and believing, “I hit the break” / “they appeared out of nowhere and stopped right in front of me”). Terrifying who is out there.
It’s always blown my mind that the majority of Americans just have to pass one test - usually as a teenager - and that lasts them the rest of their lives.
The driver was drunk.
76 is not too old, but drunk was a decision
2 ton death machines at the hands of anyone licensed…
Oh God. The number of times my friends and I have biked down that road. My stomach dropped.
Surprisingly direct language from such a mainstream American outlet.
Old people, man…
Drunk people, man…
…plus the young, and all those in between. Fuck people, man.
Yeah, man…
