Wow. No I am a completely disinterested party actually. I've never implied the volt was at fault.

One of those brothers I mentioned was killed as a teenager when a car hit him on a bike. The car was going too fast on a residential street and she was distracted by the kids in her car as she approached an intersection where he was coming out of. The car was driven by a middle aged  white Potomac mother (who knew my brother, he was friends with her son). The only person more distraught than us that day was her. Maybe a middle aged white woman is a demographic you can sympathize with more? She'd had tickets before too.

So I'm not a plant, but I am someone who has experienced loss due to shitty driving and someone who knows first hand how every single person involved feels forever changed. And someone that has worked very hard to feel forgiveness. Part of that is realizing that anyone can do a terrible thing in single moment of recklessness. And that it doesn't mean they are a terrible person. And having known a bunch of 20 year old boys intimately as my other brothers grew up I can tell you they are stupid and feel invincible and the culture of  Potomac parenting just bolsters this.

The only point I've actually tried to make is that I don't think the driver is the devil. Just that I think he is also one of his own victims. Why is the idea of having empathy for someone so completely disgusting to you?[/quote]

Np here-
I'm very sorry for your loss, but your empathy is misplaced. The situation you describe  is very different then the accident we are talking about. This guy wasn't having a bad moment. He willfully took everyone's lives in his hands with his decisions. That fact he wasn't distracted actually makes it so much worse. He intended to drive that speed on that road. [/quote]

Completely agree with the NP above.  -- Another NP[/quote]
