Here's the thing that bugs me about the 2 kids going to jail. They were charged with the murder of the 2 girls and found guilty.
I completely understand taking responsibility for your actions, but how can you be charged for something someone else does?
These girls were known to frequent the local race scene and actually had a reputation for Racing at these events all the time.
I view it like this. Say the girl was going to commit suicide she had a gun to her head and pulled the trigger (ie: car being the gun in this case), the 2 guys being witnesses to this but had no way of stopping her (ie: how could they get into the car and actually stop the vehicle, or what not especially since she was way ahead of them when they crashed?) But since they didn't stop her from pulling the trigger they are now being charged/found guilty as if they'd pulled the trigger themselves.
Responsiblity is exactly what we are talking about her. The 2 girls knowing/willingly raced there car, and crashed. How can you put the responsibility on someone else? It's B.S. The girl driving is responsible for her own actions period. No-one had a gun to her head and say hey you have to drive this fast or else, etc, etc....
I'm tired of hearing/seeing the blame placed on the wrong people, etc. And this is just another case of it.
I have no problems with a cop doing his job I just thought it was horribly wrong that it's ok for a cop to be apart of something that kills someone with no conciquences, but if a citizen does it you get sentanced to 6 years in prison.
It's just we as citizens get hounded apon for the things that we cause but sometime I just get this feeling that cops/politicians, etc can just get away with what ever they want to. It's like the rules don't apply to them.
Another incident would be the cop that ran a red light in Apple Valley killing a pregnant woman and her unborn child. If it was anyone else we'd be facing jail time possibly for life.
