That's not tragic, it's natural selection.

Only applies to the driver. Isnt the passengers fault. Maybe they didnt know he was a shit driver

From the fucking article:

"Phyllis Harris, the Harris brothers' grandmother, said she had warned Sean on Wednesday night not to get into a car with Broughton because they had gotten pulled over by police before."

Don't worry about the bleeding hearts in this thread, BF. You can't change their mind. Dumb people will always be dumb.
Being sad about this loss of life makes me a bleeding heart? Lick my taint and get a fuckin clue Nikky.

Yes, it does. Did you know these people? Related? No? Then why does it make you sad? Empathy doesn't mean you have to cry for every idiot that kicks the bucket. Mourning has been turned from genuine a release of emotion for the truly bereaved into a goddamn show for fakers, just like everything else in this country. Somebody died. Oh boo hoo. Now you need to show everybody how caring and sensitive you are. Give me a break.

I take it you haven't been in many cars with people yet alone a driver being reckless.

How does one stop them? MMA choke out mid traffic? Stance of Dominance?

Loss of life is always a negative, but mourning the loss of the mentally-defective-by-choice is almost as stupid as the decision made by said mentally-defective-by-choice group.

However, be careful what you wish for. You're kinda cute :Q

I've been pulled over by the police before, so are you saying nobody should get in a car with me? And if they do they deserve to die?

i see your point but i guess in this particular instance, it seemed like a tragedy to me. i'm not that far-removed from my youth... i guess this story struck me. i am certainly not out to show anyone that i give a crap about anything. you're obviously out to show everyone here that you're an internet badass with your posting in this thread, and you deserved to be called out for it.
