Dweezel Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 :lol: Some how I don't feel so bad for them... Call it Darwinism, if your stupid enough to stand in the middle of a freeway, fate has an odd way of sending cars screaming down said freeways at speeds of 65+ mph. Some say Tragedy, I say SCORE!I do however, feel horrible for the innocent people in the oncoming car who died and had nothing to do with the racing, other than using the freeway for its intended purpose.

fusion Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yup suck it dumb asses. You got what you deserved. Hopefully none them bred too much before this.The only people I feel bad for are the innocent people in the crown vic and the truck that came along and didn't expect all that.

Chrisoh Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I wonder if the crown vic had it's headlights off or not.If so then why??? and it probably would never had happenedBut still they should not have been there and I do still feel bad for the drivers who have to live with this even though it wasn't their fault.

Dweezel Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 think about this...1) People are standing in the middle of freeway2) They are standing behind a cloud of smoke from a burnout by the racers3) They are facing the opposite way, with their backs towards oncoming traffic4) THEIR STILL STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING FREEWAY!!!Regardless if the cars lights were on, off, blinking, or it was on fire. They were standing in the middle of a freeway, now their surprised that they got hit by a car. Their making up BS to cover their asses, that car could have been covered in yellow strobes and they wouldn't have seen it. Now your trying to tell me there is a car hurling down a dark desolate freeway at 345 in the morning with no headlights on? Whats more believeable, car hurling down road at 55+ mph with no headlights. OR Idiots standing in road behind smoke, facing away from oncoming traffic didn't notice quiet, smooth riding granny-mobile coming at them?I suppose the tractor trailer that was involved also didn't have it's headlights on either?

rockybalboa Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I don't like the title of this thread.It wasn't the drag racing that killed those people, it was the the senseless act of driving normally down a country road.J/K.

exSRAaron Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Of course it's titled as street racing to all the normal people..which just gives more bad rep. to racing. Its sad to see so many die tho, but its a risk they were willing to take on a open highway. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
