Illegal Street Racing
Ok, I'm pissed and I'm going to vent, so TS.
Last night there was another innocent death last night in San Diego due to illegal street racing. For those of you who don't know or haven't seen the MTV show on it, San Diego is like the capitol of illegal street racing. Every night, a bunch of kids our age gather around on a street and race these suped up cars that look like Batmobiles for a large sum of money. Often times there are crashes, and often times people die. Sometimes, like last night, an innocent motorist gets struck and killed by a racer who didn't see the car up ahead.
There have been 15 deaths in San Diego alone this year due to this crap. Now, I know I shouldn't be knocking people for something they love to do, but not only is this completely unproductive, it's completely dangerous.
My friend Rebecca, a 4.0 student and star soccer player was killed in a race this summer.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about deathes due to these things. So do me a favor, either go to Quallcomm Stadium and do it legally where it's safe and yes, it can be fun, or just stop wasting your hard earned money on something that will basically get you no where in life....or end someone else's.
Sorry if I offended anyone, I just wish this crap would stop.
