    Oh, in that case he definitely deserved to die. Carry on, then.

      I know you need for me to hold the position that he deserved to die but I just don’t. You’re welcome to continue trying to put words in my mouth though.

      I’m not particularly broken up about a gun thief dying, no. But I think we can all stop pretending like the guy didn’t have agency and drove himself into a truck all by himself.

      I kind of stopped giving a fuck about stupid people dying around the time a bunch of dipshits refused a life saving vaccine during a pandemic.

      This is just a different flavor of that.

        If you’re being chased, then no, you didn’t drive yourself into something all by yourself. There was an extremely significant external factor.

          That guy chose to gamble - running and maybe escaping (but also maybe getting seriously injured/die) instead of doing 5-10 for possession of a stolen firearm.

          Attempting to evade the police can’t be allowed to be a blank cheque to get away with crime.
