Did he get what he deserved?

[CptStern]

Story out of my home town where an altercation between groups of youths broke out in a fist fight ..the first group took off in their car while the second group of youths chased them in another car ..they were carrying baseball bats. One of the passengers fell out of the second car during the chase and died of head injuries.

did he get what he deserved? I'm not saying he deserved death (no one does IMHO) but he knew the risks when he involved himself in a high speed chase. He participated in his own death by stupidly fighting with other youths and by taking it to the next step by attempting to assualt them with deadly weapons. You live by the sword you die by the sword.

No, he's obviously been let down by the system, and has a crackhead for a mom.

 

[SimonomiS]

1 down...

 

[Solaris]

You can't argue that poverty helps cause crime, and then say they deserved dying becuase of there crime, even though if they were rich it wouldnt have happened.

 

[SimonomiS]

He was with a bunch of other guys in a fast car chase, the circumstances under "falling out" aren't too clear, but I'm guessing someone must have opened the door, or he leaned out to do something. I doubt he didn't know what was happening. You do dumb dangerous shit, you die.

 

[Javert]

He didn't "deserve" it, though he certainly asked for it.

1)High speed chase
2)Clouded mob mentality
3)Lack of seatbelt <---****

actually he was from a middle class family and was a student in highschool

Correctomundo. 1 less shelf stacker in the world.

 

[Solaris]

Idd, It's still sad.

 

[Asknoone]

Yes, he did.

 

[Septih]

He was obviously trained on Halflife 2 where you can jump out of vehicles and not get hurt.

On a serious note. Deserved death is a bit harsh, but he brought it on himself it seems.

 

[ríomhaire]

Tough choice. I can't decide.

 

[Qonfused]

Not really. But... whatever. There's no human interest here.

How the hell do you just "fall out" of a car? 10 bucks says one of his mates pushed him.

Ever saw that video of that guy that falls out of a car and get hit on the ****ing chin by a bypassing car from the other side? Looks like it's pretty easy to do.

Yeah, when you stupidly have the door open and lean out of it.

I'm going to sue the car makers if I ever fall out of a car >=(

 

[Absinthe]

I don't think he got what he deserved, at least not any sort of equitable definition. He did, however, have it coming and I don't have much sympathy for his tragedy.

 

[CyberPitz]

I voted yes..you get what you bargain for...

 

[staticprimer]

Sounds to me like this guy qualifies for a Darwin Award. Dumbass.

 

[Raeven0]

I am naturally biased against idiots. The brief description of the problem leads me to believe that the involved kids are idiots.

I vote yes.

 

[Uriel]

No, the very most he deserved was a beating. We're all idiots at some point in time. Some longer than others.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I'm going to sue the car makers if I ever fall out of a car >=(

I shoul start suing then!

1st time) Leaned out to get something, my freind only moving 2 MPH dumbass thoguht it would be funny to speed up! See this?The l= tree and the < = face:
l says HELLO! to <. :x You decide.....

2nd time) Friends driving, I leaned out to check mail, still leaning out to close the mail box, he went into reverse.... can anyone say CONCUSSION? Ill give you a cookie if you do!:afro: :sniper:

And I can't decide....... dammit!

 

[kaf11]

i selected no. no one deserves death, although no one else is responsible for his own poor decision.

 

[Alan Freeman]

He was probably pushed out for farting in the vehicle. Orr... they needed to lose some weight so they tossed him out instead of the bat .,

On a serious note : NEVER GET INTO A CAR WITH A BUNCH OF MORONS WITH BATS.

 

[MiccyNarc]

He got pwned!!

 

[TheSomeone]

I'm not saying he deserved death (no one does IMHO)

You're right no one does, what are you saying he deserved then? Falling out of the car but not the "dying" part?

 

[CptStern]

I'm neutral in this thread ..I havent even voted. But way to twist words and meaning. That's exactly what I meant :upstare:

 

[Cooper]

Well, I would assume he chose to get in this car and chase another car with the intent of violence. So as far as getting what he deserved...I can't say I am glad he died but at the same time, it was his decision.

I am curious as to why you are asking Stern, is there some sort of lawsuit involved, trying to put blame somewhere?

EDIT: Did the article mention as to how he fell out? Pushed perhaps, or accident?

 

[63]

Hard to tell... it could not of been his choice to fight in the first place, just got caught it the middle.

 

[Top Secret]

Ofcourse he deserved to die. The stupid ****.

 

[TheSomeone]

Twisting words? I was asking a question because it confused me, obviously being a bit sarcastic in the process. One moment you're saying no one deserves death, and the other you're saying "well actually..." Just trying to clear up your point.

There's really no need to be bitter because I pointed out you were acting all anal in some thread two weeks ago.

 

[<RJMC>]

I agree whit the didnt deserve it but was asking for it,cuz still I dont think nothing good could come from that

so even if IMO the guy didnt deserved that I vote yes

no, I legitimately asked why you had twisted the meaning of what I had said ..I didnt say he deserved to die, I said his actions brought about his death because he made a choice that led him to that eventuality. In that sense he deserved it because that was the choice he made, not because the punishment fit the crime

 

[TheSomeone]

so even if IMO the guy didnt deserved that I vote yes

Omg, what is this horrible trend.

 

[TheSomeone]

no, I legitimately asked why you had twisted the meaning of what I had said ..

So that's what all the non-existing question marks were for.

I didnt say he deserved to die, I said his actions brought about his death because he made a choice that led him to that eventuality. In that sense he deserved it because that was the choice he made, not because the punishment fit the crime

Okay, thank you for clearing that up.

 

[<RJMC>]

Omg, what is this horrible trend.

I am just saying I vote yes cuz he done something that could bring him that ending,and sure if he didnt fall from the car maybe he was going to be beated to dead or worse
is like if someone is going to play whit fire knowing that the fire burn

I see your point, I'm just confused by all this ambiguity.

 

[Raeven0]

The poll says I'm in the majority, but judging by the responses, most of you who voted Yes meant No. So I'm in the minority again...

If I shoot myself, do I or do I not deserve to have a bullet tearing through my pitiful flesh? Are there exceptions?
