    Possibly a medical emergency?

    Unless it was shown to be a planned attack, someone high on illegal drugs etc, no, I wouldn't advocate for the death penalty.

    If the driver just wasn't paying attention, then he needs some prison time etc but again, no, I wouldn't agree with the death penalty in this case based on just the video.

    Just FYI, I am pro death penalty......

    Nah, the medical emergency was in this drivers head. The fact they fled tells me, a stolen truck, a robbery, no license of any kind, or just downright pixxed off. Now with automatics, any perp can overtake a truck, and seemingly, the biggest and best way to make a getaway. Maybe drugs, but rest assured, we'll see a lot more of this.
    For the record, death is too final for these people, some may actually want. I SAY, stick them in those urine soaked heckholes in Peru you see on 60 Minutes. That might change their minds. OUR PRISONS?? I hear there's like a 2 hour wait for the tennis courts at Florence Super Max,,:biggrin_25512:

    Oh my goodness. That's a bad one there. My heart goes out to those victims and their loved ones involved. I think the death penalty is a bit extreme. I can't imagine that he did that deliberately. He was going way too fast for one, I agree with a previous post thay he probably wasn't paying attention. The fact that he left the scene and got food is bothersome.

    No reason for that speed. Something else is going on with this.

    If it’s definitely confirmed that he was impaired by alcohol and/or drugs, then yes, he should be charged with most seeious case of murder on the books..
