Another point to consider though is what if the driver of the van had crossed into the oncoming lane at a time when there was no oncoming traffic? He wouldn't have hit anyone, therefore rightfully receiving the traffic violation fine, but nothing else. Now you could agrue this point by saying that what he did COULD have caused injury or death had it been done at a time when there was oncoming traffic (as the case was), but then you could say this for anyone who violates traffic restrictions.

Same could be said for the bayshore incident. The motorcyclist can be charged with vehicular homicide or something of the like, however, if he had been speeding down Bayshore 20 seconds later he wouldn't have hit the women and would only been guilty of speeding (which we've all done).

Just a thought. Im sure its crossed all our minds. Only reason I brought it up is that sometimes its difficult to sentence fairly. While we could say that the man who took the life of the 3 bikers did something which had the possibility of taking life, should we be charging everyone who speeds or violates traffic restrctions with vehicular manslaughter/homicide?

 

FORGET about the Bayshore incident, i'm sorry i even mentioned it. On that point the people are always making out the riders as the super bad guys.

I'll make this short cause this still pisses me off to no end. About the incident with the van. If it had crossed the dividing line and slamed into another car or truck, with say a mother and her children or anyone else for that matter, this would be a whole different story. I bet there would be a vehiculer homicide charge brought by the county against this person.

Its not the money involved that is a slap in the face, it is the lack of any stiff charges being brought by the judicial system against this guy. The tickets could be for 10k each and that still wouldn't make it right--how can you put a price on a human life? The lack of a substantial criminal charge on this guy in this incident is unfathomable to me. The fact that it involves riders and that six families lives will be changed forever is what gets me and the fact that things like this happen all the time to riders and we get treated as renegades out on the streets. Hell just yesterday i was encroched upon more times than i'd like to remember. At a stop light an old man had the stupidity to use my lane and pull up to the line right next to me! Then he had the balls to try and say he did nothing wrong! Fucking people. That is all before i burst a blood vessel.

what he said...

 

that is freaking incredable that someone can get away with that. Hopefully something happens and they toss his ass in jail and every single one of the juries that decided that he was not guilty gets what god is going to give them in the end. Everyone gets what is going to come to them and those people will too.

make me wanta ride with a big earphone on bayshore run over anyone that come across me. - if not i'm making fun of that bitch - lol

 

they should make him ride a bike while we all get h2's to play bumper cars with him......

 

Man fuck that bull shit, I dont even own a bike but a lot of my friends do and my dad has since he could drive and that really pisses me off.Thats the biggest bull shit ive ever heard, and its not even like they were "punk" kids as the cops would say they were all over 50.I hate the judicial system.

 

 

if needed lets protest and be heard being mad on this website isnt going to change anything, does anyone if the guy from bayshore has a court hearing. I'll put right on my banner "honk if she should of looked both ways"

and the next person can hold one that says "but we cant hear you cause we have headphones on"

 

Ha, im down to be heard.
