Ahh, America.

 

Repeat drunk driver David Weaving is serving a 10-year manslaughter sentence for hitting 14-year-old Matthew Kenney on his bike and killing him in Connecticut. Now Weaving is suing the Kenneys for letting Matthew ride his bike on the street.

There has been times when I've seen parents allow their little kids to play in the street. That to me is just bad parenting and asking for problems. This however I don't agree with. I thought that it's been proven that riding a bicycle with a helmet is in no way safer.

 

EDIT:

I guess it attracts cars

Killing their child isn't enough huh? I can only hope this "man" is given the death he deserves while in prison. Preferably something like "death by mouthrape".

hell a car hitting a 14 year old at 83mph, i dont think a bear attack suit would have saved him.

That asshole deserves to sit and rot in isolation for the rest of his life. Has he never cared for anyone? What a sick bastard.
