Their speed limited their options to 1 - crash & die.
These guys deserve every inch of finger pointing they get and then some. They (the 'racing' drivers) do not deserve even a remote amount of sympathy. Not one ounce.
This has to be a lesson for every one who races on the street, or just drives too aggressively, or likes to brag about 'kills'. There are too many variables on the road that you cannot anticipate. You doing 100 mph on route whatever may not be the 100% cause of an accident, but at those rates, you severely limit your options, endangering yourself and others. I always thought “kill” is an interesting choice of words....

you misunderstood my intensions. like i said i wasn't defending them...I just don't like ignoring any sides of any story - the left turner didn't help matters much. no, those jackasses in the hon-duhs shouldn't have been racing on a crowded street like 33...I don't disagree at all...
I also said that I felt sorry for the
families of the young people...I'm a parent and I can't imagine burying either of my girls....under ANY circumstances
truce
