H.S. kid goes rally car happy wit his friends in his new impreza, loses control, all die sans driver

Smoke everyday...absolutely not. There are consequences to actions, but 25 years is way much. 5-15 is cool for a bad decision.

Of course, I don't care about human life as much as others pretend to so eh.

Man this reminds me of my cousin

http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/22759727/1-dead-in-fourth-of-july-accident-in-gaithersburg

What the story doesn't say is he was high on PCP, he stole his dads car and he didn't have a license. And it's Justin Taylor not Jordan Taylor...dumbass news. Jazz was in there, Fairchild, Pop was also, Pop only shed a tear when Cierra asked where Shayne was. Man...them feels.

You read on the surface, he's a scumbag. His older brothers were like 'I knew it would happen' feels bro, feels.

I know this forum is pro-weed and I see it posted often that people say they are fine driving high, but everyone should be more responsible drivers. I made dumb decisions when I was younger too.

Too many people speeding on the ssp, always accidents on there.
 
You know, I really feel all types of ways about this case because this kid lives 2 blocks away from me and the others that died as well. Not only that but we're all from the same background and culture.

As much as a favor justice and fairness I also favor mercy at times. I feel the punishment semi-fits the crime. At the same time I feel this kid does understand the magnitude of his actions or he is in the process of doing so. I don't think he lacks remorse like what the prosecution has stated. I think at the time he was trying to "be that dude" and feeling himself way to much which can be said about many kids his age. I can't tell you how many kids from this same community are carbon copies of this same kid and I don't understand why more of them don't wise-up about living that type of lifestyle.

I can tell you that this kid's family has been harassed and looked down upon since this case happened. Word gets around over here crazy fast and it's like if you **** around with just one family your ******* around with half of the community because everyone somewhat knows everyone else. Think about doing that to four families.

It's a sad case all around. I just wish they had some sort of community awareness that he had to do so that he could help prevent other kids from doing this in the future. I see commercials of other people who were drunk and killed another person on t.v. from time to time trying to explain the remorse for their actions. I feel something like him speaking in front of a large auditorium of h.s. kids, along with the prison sentence, should have been carried out.

You always gotta have a "bad guy" as an anchor on the scale to determine where you are on it. Too bad this kid has to join some of the real scum from this community that holds down that left side of the scale. I still have hope that something good will come from all of this whether it be as small as one kid being more conscious of his actions or parents having a bit more common sense when blessing their kids with gifts.

Reminds me of an accident that happened near me. Dude was "the morning after" drunk and ran over a jogger in his G35 taking out 40 feet of a brick wall with him.

All he got was time served and 1 year probation.
For killing an innocent pedestrian. Crazy.

I smoke everyday but I wouldn't go near 100 while I'm high in my honda. He should've known what can happen. I wonder if his friends asked him to slow down at all.

If they did use bud as an excuse to get him more time, then good. 5 is nothing. 15 is better.

Him smoking is complete bs. I hate the perception. Kid was...a kid. Trying to swag out. If it was the bud, then everyone who smokes bud would be getting into crashes, obviously that's not what happens.

Not everyone who drinks and drives gets into car crashes either, that doesn't make it ok to do it. If you can smoke and drive like a responsible adult cool, but this dude only had his learners permit floorin it on curves where the road is wet. We know he didn't get into that car planning to accidentally kill all his friends but it happened and now he has to face the consequences.
 
Why the hell is is so much to ask marijuana smokers to not get behind the wheel when high?

We do the same with drinkers, people who take many medications, and even strong recommend it for some over the counter ones.

If you wanna get wasted on alcohol, go right ahead. If you wanna get baked outta your mind, go right ahead. Your life, your body.

But if you get behind the wheel and even put other drivers and pedestrians under the slightest of risk. Then I got no sympathy for you when you get caught.

Smoking and driving might not have been the biggest mistake lil man made that night, but it was one of them, and should be taken into account when getting punished.

I live in the area where these kids went to high school and I am just in shock. These kids were all my age group too and I can't help but picture this all play out. Joseph Beer looks so familiar too, maybe I have seen him once or twice. Horrible horrible news. My sincerest regards to the family, friends, and schoolmates who all have to hear this tragic news. |I

Smoking and driving was the biggest mistake. I've driven buzzed and a bit high and that bit high was horrible. Could not focus. With the buzz I was at least super alert. I'm high right now and it's taking me forever to write this but now for some reason I am consistant and I hope I didn't spell anything wrong because I am not looking at the keyboard I mean screen.

Anyway, if I can't even write properly when I'm high why get behind the wheel? I respect you sir...
 
I can dig the 'stoned driving' idea, I mean I think it's bs, but I understand the law.

However, as someone who smokes and drives all the time, I can tell you it ain't that bad, but if there was a law against it I wouldn't fight it.

In this situation it was his inexperience which caused the crash, not the pot, otherwise if pot was the cause then it should happen everytime.

As a society we always look for scapegoats, other things to Blame besides personal choices. That's all we have, pot didn't make him hit that corner at 110, he did that, pot didn't make him get behind the wheel in the first place, he did that. We are constantly trying to find everything but ourselves to blame. Have an Uncle that died of the HIV...either because of his sexual choices or because of heroin, but it was his choice to blow that dude, no one put a gun to his head, it was his choice to put that needle in his arm, no one did it to him. Choices, that's all we have, that's all we are, the sum of our choices. It wasn't pcp that made my cousin get behind the wheel, it was his choice, be didn't have to but did it anyway. I've had to much tragedy with drugs and to many good times to exclusively blame drugs, at some point we need to take responsibility for our own actions.

As a recreational smoker I 100% agree. Weed affects everyone differently. Everyone should just lay off operating a vehicle when they're drinking or doing drugs. It's just not worth the risk to yourself for others. I've never bought the excuse of "I'm so tolerant of smoking/drinking/pills that I'm 100% functional and/or better than I would be sober" That's just BS.

If you think it was the weed and not the 110 mph then idk what to tell you.

Weed does not impair someone's mobile skills like alch and pills.
