"Law enforcement's frustration with racing on the public roadway is not only that these youths don't recognize the harm to themselves, but also that they fail to recognize the danger they pose to the rest of the motoring and pedestrian public," said Capt. Jack Anderson, the sheriff's commander of South County Operations. "They don't look at the consequences of behavior."

I agree with mmarshall. Putting that kid in jail for "vehicular manslaughter" and driving a car with blah blah blah is messed up.. :\ It was both of their decisions to race, but because 1 died the other goes to jail? That's not cool.

So Im still confused here... Did the CLK win? lol j/k
I think that is what happens when teens get cars like that (M3/CLK55). They are going to do stupid things. I think though that putting the other kid in jail is a bit harsh and extreme.
Is this kids myspace going to end up on that mydeathspace thing or whatever it was?

Don't get me wrong, guys. I didn't say that kids that engage in reckless driving shouldn't be held accountable for it just because so many of them don't listen. In fact, it is just the opposite.....they SHOULD be held accountable because they KNOW what they are doing and they KNOW the risks. Reckless driving through ignorance is one thing ( and few people are really that dumb, or else they wouldn't have a license )......reckless driving when you KNOW better ( as is the case with most kids ) is quite another matter.

The crash looked pretty terrible. Thank god the two passengers in the M3 didn't die as well. I have to disagree about these "kids" knowing the risk. It is quite obvious that they don't when they decided to race on the streets while putting the lives of their passengers in danger. If they really understood the "risk", they would of had roll cages installed, wore helmets, raced on a track by themselves.
The guy is partly responsible for the other driver's death. This isn't monopoly, you don't get a "get out of jail for free" card in real life.
It bugs me when people start making excuses for the actions of others. Especially when the result is death.

They may be aware that there are risks, but I doubt that they fully realize what those are, or pay any attention to the possibility of what might happen if they go forward with the race. And I seriously doubt that they consider at all what might happen to innocent motorists or bystanders. "What could possibly happen? We're just having fun."
The term nieve comes to mind, and I think it fits this type of situation very well.

I dont think the CLK55 should be in jail, its the M3's own action that made that accident happen, if he said no the first place, this wouldnt happen.
Agreed, some people suck at driving, old or young, even grown ups crash in a 100hp car. But young people are more cockier, they think that they can handle it when they cant.
