But I think those ignorant rice burners left. Sitting at home waiting for us to respond and missing out on the chance to wake up entire neighborhoods and put innocent people's lives at risk was just too much for them.

*edited subject b/c no one needs to be calling anyone else a moron*

I remember when my father used to do criminal law he had to defend a kid that killed a young lady while street racing. He was uninjured. The DA threw the book at him and charged him with manslaughter. Don't know what ended up happening.

It's just sad that people think they are invincible like this and are totally willing to take the lives of others into their hands.

I think the kid involved should be restricted to public transportation for life.

Naw, they should be required to drive a Pinto for the rest of their days.

If you are talking about a street racer, I think they would find some way to mod a pinto out. Hell, I had a glance at a riced out yugo on campus the other day. I think I laughed at that one with some friends for about 20 minutes or so....

I won't lie here, I used to participate in the racing scene in my hometown, modded out my car and all that stuff. I don't do it anymore because I realized that it's just too dangerous when you are racing and you reach speeds that exceed 100 mph. It might be a rush but I think if people want to continue to feed that rush they should do it on a track where racing is legal.

Thank you for being mature enough to realize what's safe and what's not, and basically backing up what I've been saying all along. If you're gonna do it, do it right and do it safe.

Now I have no real clue as to the racing scene out there.. But I'm assuming that most of the participants are under 18 and doing it off of mommy and daddy's money... (I'm referring to the illegal racing)
