So about the state trooper thread....

turbotalon1g · 10-13-2011

I wonder if its fuckbags like this that don't help the cause of driving imports.
(not that i've had a problem lately)

http://www.kare11.com/news/article/9...struction-zone

"The driver of the car was identified by the patrol as Kirk Deamos, 21, of Raymore, Mo. Deamos was not hurt and was cooperating with investigators, the patrol said.

Authorities have yet to say why the car left the interstate. Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske said that alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

Deamos wrote on his Facebook page that he was on his way to Minnesota. On Tuesday, he wrote that he had just acquired the Mitsubishi 3000gt "that is basically faster than ... a rocket. Ready to really test it out on the highway to Minnesota Thursday!!! So pumped! "

Cliffs: Fuckbag kid in 3000GT he just bought, kills 2 construction workers on 35W.

Condolences to the families of these poor souls just trying to do their job.

what a dumb fucking kid

I hope that kid gets raped in prison by some big guy named bubba.

Saw this on the news this morning during the rush hour news. Had the helicopter come in and everything. It seemed like a pretty bad accident because there was 2 ambulances. Damn, wasn't expecting this kind of outcome. Definitely sad. *sighs* This is going to scar that Deamos kid for life.

Does anyone notice the 3000GT?

its a stupid thing to test a car out on a free way, its another to do it on unfamiliar roads during rush hour...

Zivman · 10-13-2011

any word on if he was speeding, texting, dropped his phone and was picking it up? they have been blabbing about the facebook posts, but I have driven on that stretch of highway, not real easy to "test out" the car.

Construction zone, seriously?

WOW, that is all you can say......

FattyBoomBatty · 10-14-2011

He was driving from out of state, he had plenty of time to test it in the open. Where he was, he might have been tired from driving and fell asleep (I've been drowsy in a construction zone before, it's not a good thing).

Most of these comments would be different if that kid was a well known member here. What if he owned a 9 second dsm or evo and posted here a lot. I think prison rape comments and the ilk are pretty extreme for the amount of information provided in the link.

Anyway, Aaron I don't think it has anything to do with imports. Idiots drive all makes and models. As for large numbers of state patrol on the roads and/or more aggressive behavior on their part, this type of accident has no bearing on that. Were the cops or the construction workers supposed to read his facebook page and make sure to be watching out for this kid? If this crash happened on the same day he left, that's like a 10 hour drive, minimum. He was bushed. I bet he fell asleep or was drowsy, someone started merging, and he noticed them, jerked the wheel in an over reaction and lost it. Testing a car on the highway can just as easily mean finding out how it does on extended trips as it can mean rugging it and dicking around. What I'm saying is don't jump to conclusions.

turbotalon1g · 10-14-2011

I don't that this incident to me has anything to do with imports, but most kids can only afford cheap cars and imports are usually cheaper than other cars like GTOs and such and are more sort after by the youth today, probably thanks to media pushing them in commercials and movies.

I don't give a fuck who did it, young or old, import or domestic. I hate seeing decent people minding their own business have crap like this happen.

My second point was, to the people bitching about troopers hassling them.
There is a reason cops hassle people and its because of douche bags like this, probably another reason cops like to try and pull vettes over too, until they see its an old guy.

Look how far that car is off the highway, he wasn't going 70.

A//// Guy · 10-14-2011

It doesnt sound like the guy was racing or messin around.... I dunno what happened and it is tragic, but the guy went off the road pretty abruptly from the pictures, almost like he either fell asleep or was messing with his phone or something.

A//// Guy · 10-14-2011

Reason for crash:

According to the State Patrol, the driver of the vehicle, 21-year-old Kirk Deamos of Raymore, Mo., was northbound on the interstate when he slowed for upcoming construction. Feeling he was too close to the construction wall, Deamos braked and steered right, turning the vehicle harder than he expected. He turned left, then right once more, with the vehicle spinning out in the right ditch.

**Goat Blower** · 10-14-2011

I actually agree with Fatty for once on this one. I think this was just a tragic accident, nothing more, I don't think the kid was screwing around, I think it was inexperience driving in adverse conditions. What was on his FB page really should be irrelevant.

It really is sad about the construction workers though, I can't imagine the trauma that the wife and kids face when dad is now gone forever. Another sad thing, there was a major accident earlier yesterday right in front my office on 169 and 77th. A younger guy in a F150 crew cab went around the guard rail and slammed into a large steel and concrete sign post at a good clip. There was over 30 cops, ambulances and fire trucks there trying to get the driver out of the truck. They airlifted him to the hospital, I'm not sure if he made it or not. Considering most of the engine was pushed into the cab, I kinda doubt it.

turbotalon1g · 10-14-2011

I agree with the FB stuff.

But adverse conditions?
where?
I've driven that road twice since they have been working there and will be again later. Something just sounds not right to me.

1G4g63t · 10-14-2011

I work right off 13 in savage and drive that stretch everyday and they have cars slowed to like 45 50 mph so he had to have been bookin to throw those workers that far. I've actually talked to Craig because the equipment they use came from my work and it's a real shame that some stupid kid got reckless and ended his life. My reaction would be no different if it was someone I knew from here or any other place that was doing the driving. I hope they charge him with Manslaughter at the very least.
As for the FB postings I hope they use that against him as proof in someway that he was being retarded. Just proves some people don't understand that the best way to test a car is on the track and not on public roads.
And to the people that say the driver was tired, you are dumb. I'm sorry if I'm tired I pull off the road at a rest stop and take a nap, and if you need to be somewhere at a certain time you plan for it and not wait till the last possible minute to leave your house.

To fast for the road conditions and skill level of the driver.

Granted I've heard from many people it is very tight there, there is a reason you should slow to the posted speed limits in construction zones.

**goodhart** · 10-14-2011

I love all the stupid ass assumptions in this thread like everyone in here is an expert and knows exactly what happened, then wants to nail the kid to the wall for it.

blackrosenova400 · 10-14-2011

Well when you write this on your facebook wall....

Deamos wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday that he was on his way to Minnesota. Of his new car, he posted that it "is basically faster than ... a rocket. Ready to really test it out on the highway to Minnesota Thursday!!! So pumped!

."

How do you think people are going to react? Especially since he killed two innocent people. Dont rip on anyone just because they are emotianally upset about something you think is pure coincedance.

**goodhart** · 10-14-2011

I'm not upset at all, I just think people making assumptions about shit they have no idea about is retarded. For all we know he made that post while taking a shit at a Taco Bell after test driving it and never even broke the speed limit. But there you go, another assumption.
