Florida motorist drives home with man in windshield

But in this case, the scene of the accident moves around with you.

Well, the torso did. The legs stayed at the scene.

I would think it's still a hit-and-run to some extent - given that the guy only ran so far. The prosecutors just chose not to pursue it due to the circumstances (pedestrian's fault).

 

I was being no more legally condescending to you than you were being driver's educationally condescending to me.

 

The Mallard case the guy died in hours not days .. and the leftist media presented

Also . . . This guy just smashed the sh*t out of the guy
I wonder if he even slowed down

He did not die in hours, it was days.

And he asked her to help him and she didn't.

 

BECAUSE SHE WAS A BIGOT!!!!

(cue dramatic music) DUM..DUM...DUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

 

Exactly . . . IMO
It is negligence. . . no not to the level of Ft worth
However . . . . The line that kills me is. . .
IT OBVIOUSLY wasn't his fault

Never even enter anyones mind whether the guy
[who had a history of mental problems]
did not amble in Chante's way . . . it was not even a thought
a concern . . .

Two men are dead for Vehicular homicide.
The lady gets 50 yrs
This guy won't even spend a night in jail

justice in America

<---- for those who know who they are

 

The prosecution did an excellent job in the Mallard case. Her defense pleaded for compassion so the prosecutor was like "fellow citizens, show Chante Mallard the same compassion she showed Gregory Biggs". Hah!

 

Dude, seriously?

How do you not see a difference in hitting someone, driving home and parking in your garage, hearing the man beg and plead for you to do something, and then the man dying compared to someone hitting someone, driving a mile, then calling 911?

Seriously, are you being this dense on purpose?

RACE HAS ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. And you saying it does harms those who have legitimate problems with racism.

 

The state of the men who died is completely irrelevant. Even if Biggs had mental problems and jumped in front of Mallard, that does not excuse the fact she was hopped up on alcohol and drugs, she did not call 911 which would have saved the man's life, and she tampered with evidence That's cold blooded murder. Mallard has no one to blame but herself.

 

Rocket River, you are r****ded.

 

no I don't think so
The Issue is Two men are Dead
I have little doubt that Chante should be where she is
[If i really wanted to make a RACE issue I would compare her
to the Houston Dentist who INTENTIONALLY ran over her husband
and still got less time than Chante]

What bothers me is the slant on this one?
folx running over themselves to UNDERSTAND ole boys' situation

The article said. . . IT WAS THE PEDESTRIAN'S FAULT . . . BECAUSE HE WORE DARK CLOTHES??????

that sounds wholly reasonable

ALSO with the guys Arms and Legs all over the Freeway
covering up this situation was not a good option
[Even less so than in Chante's Case]

Chante was a moron surrounded by morons
Of that I doubt anyone doubts

but in this case. . . . the knee Jerk reaction
is to side with the 19 yr old and understand him and his story

some just don't get that benefit of the doubt
[ask Kobe Bryant]

Double post

 

mostly because she took an accident and made it a murder

he took an accident and tried to correct it...he did ultimately phone for help...she never did...she waited him out...allowing him to suffer and die by her own will. he tried to get help for the guy...she tried to make sure he was never helped...that he wouldn't get medical assistance. and that lasted for days.

HUGE DIFFERENCE...and i think you see that, too...

 

I honestly don't think he does.

 

I think you have a problem with the discretion juries have in sentencing. In the Houston dentist case, the jury must have had compassion for the woman since her husband was having an affair. She snapped in rage and ran him over. It also didn't hurt that her in-laws sided with her. The jury felt sorry for the woman, the jury did not feel sorry for Mallard for the above mentioned reasons.

In the Florida case it was an accident. People want to listen to his story because he did not break any laws. Normal drivers do not run people over.

 

Can we please just ignore Ricket Reefer for a second, please? If he is unable to distinguish between making a bad decision, then calling for help, versus leaving someone to die a slow death and burying them without notifying authorities, then you do him too much credit in attempting communication.

Anyway, what if you hit someone, and most of their body is in your windshield, you don't have a cell phone, and you are 50 feet from your driveway. What do you do? Do you pull over, jump out of your car, refuse to run to your phone, and wave down a car? I'm serious.

 

I'm just curious -- I haven't seen any photos of the driver, Daniel Dradeen. Nor have I read any references to his race or ethnicity. Yet, judging by this thread, there seems to be the general assumption that he is white. Am I missing something?

 

No, just interjecting some common sense. Or maybe there's been TV footage. (Aside from basketball, I don't watch any).

 

B-Bob, I think if I was that close to my house (or any house for that matter), I'd leave the car where it is and run to the house to call for help. I can't imagine how badly I'd be freaking out, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to drive around like that.

Along those lines...

What I don't get here is, if the accident happened near a bar parking lot, why didn't the kid go to the bar and call?

 

Well, duh, he's only 19.
