Not necessarily too soon, just not particularly amusing.

I'm a Harrier Powerline mechanic, done several deployments on ship with the navy. That is a pretty much a text book landing, other than the nose gear not coming down. The throttle is touchy by itself, on top of having to adjust for pitch, roll, and yaw, on a moving ship. Then there's the fact that you have to rely…

There's a college world series?

Or car maintenance, I've seen way too many cars that are accidents waiting to happen and none of the authorities do anything about it.

And "American football" is just a sport where men in tight pants give each other brain damage in-between advertisement opportunities. Hell, even a good chunk of Americans will admit they watch the Superbowl usually just because of the commercials.

I'll wait till they fix the lag issues

Football. *Football.* For fuck's sake. You kick the ball around with your *foot.* The fuck does "soccer" even mean?

I actually wrote an academic thesis on this, and your statement is well-supported by the literature. Increasing the severity of penalties does almost nothing to deter crime, but drive up the probability of getting caught (regardless of the severity of penalty), and crime rates drop significantly.

If you read some of the other articles, there was a large truck that did a sudden evasion when it realized her car was stopped. The bike didn't make it out of the way.

It is also tragic that she was able to get a driver's license in the first place. I see this all the time, people who have absolutely no idea what they're doing causing accidents and traffic in the streets while never being stopped since they're just "safe and sensible drivers who never drive over the speed limit".

Moot point....it didn't.

I live maybe 10 minutes from there and followed the case.

Criminal intent doesn't matter, buddy. That's why there are crimes like "negligent homicide." When you're controlling a two-ton vehicle, you have a responsibility to keep other people safe. Her decision put people at risk. The father should not have been driving that fast, but they might have died even if they…

Except here is the thing with laws, when you violate one and something worse happens, you are responsible for that too. Example, I blow a red light and tbone a family of five, killing them all. Its an accident. I am still responsible for their death. This is the same.

Stopping on a highway and bumper-to-bumper traffic are two very different things. It's illegal in most states to stop on the highway except in the case of a accident or breakdown, and even moreso do to so without any kind of signaling, as the woman did here. Her actions directly caused the deaths of 2 people. I…

A person has agency. A broken car doesn't. That is why it matters. Willful negligence is the persons fault. Accidental breakdowns are the cars fault and you can't punish a car.

Unless there's traffic of course, should have added that. My bad!
