I don't believe that they feel "like a big man" for saying that..I think they feel like me and that we are tired of seeing these..let me see how should I phrase it for you...oh yes, "misguided, misunderstood troubled youth who has been unable to pursue his dreams as he came from a broken home and went to a school that wasn't as well funded as other schools and was denied an opportunity to reach his full potential"
ok whatever...I'm calling I see these people everyday at work and guess what..they don't give a flying s*** about you your family, your car or anything else except themselves. So please unless you have a job dealing with these losers everyday don't tell me I should feel sympathy for them. Yeah he was someones son and guess what I think they should have been a better parent. They probably gave him "time out" when he was bad. Buncha PC touchy feely crap is why our country is in the shape it is now. No one wants to be a parent they want to be their kids friend.

On the PR&C forum there was a recent thread calling Paul Newman, the recently deceased actor, derogatory names. I was bashed there for objecting to the name-calling.
I always maintain, if anyone wants to call anyone a name, do it to their face, otherwise they are cowards.
I think this forum should add another icon, along with this one
The icon should depict the beating a human corpse, because there is no sense in it. Dead is dead, you can't add to it.

Bad news: A 2007 Vett is destroyed. Hopefullly, the owner has gap insurance.
Good News: No innocent citizens were hurt!
Better News: No Law Enforcement personnel went IOD or worse!
BEST NEWS: Citizens don't have to pay for a defense attorney or 3 square meals for the criminal.

So, IMHO, I can't imagine thinking anyone would feel too sorry for me if I had done what the car thief did. Sometimes it just restores confidence in cosmic justice when it is administered swiftly.

Besides the poor grammar in this statement, I'd also object to the silly logic. It presupposes we are living in a society rulled by bullies; and due to physical dominance, they alone are able to express opinions which might be objectionable to others. However, being smart enough to realize someone isn't mentally stable enough to sanely deal with your criticism face to face is NOT being a coward. The coward is the guy who can only use physical prowess to dominate opinion sharing.

[QUOTE=lionelhutz;1567301343]Seriously, I read that and just think it's good he only managed to kill himself and not some other innocent people who were unfortunate to get in his way. I really can't muster up any sympathy for a thief.

I'm amazed you could auger a Z06 into a brick wall that hard, and still maintain some structural integrity. That aluminum frame punched a pretty good hole in the wall. Impressive. For that discovery, alone, I am glad this event occured, but I lament the loss of the car, and my condolences go out to the owner.

I see nothing wrong with your point of view, but my point was that calling a recently deceased person a name on the Internet is stupid. He's dead, it's over with and what more can you add to death.
On the PR&C forum there was a recent thread calling Paul Newman, the recently deceased actor, derogatory names. I was bashed there for objecting to the name-calling.

true...you can't add to it....but if he lived and was a vegetable would you be ok with us calling him a POS thief?
I'm just sayin .....
as long as these people steal from law abiding citizens and cause the rest of us to pay increased insurance rates and take care of their lousy butts while they are in jail and waste our tax dollars on trials to allow them to run free I think we are entitled to call them whatever we want..dead or alive.

A women dies in car accident caused by slippery roads in the rain: sad.
A young man dies falling off bridge he was repairing: sad.
A criminal with previous record, steals someone else's car, runs from police, endangers the lives who-knows-how-many other people, then kills only himself: rare occasion of self-inflicted justice.
I don't celebrate the loss of life - but I am ambivalent.

Hope the driver gets fully reimbursed for a new C6.
Thief got what he deserved IMO. No sympathy here. My guess is he has a long record and was out being a criminal again after our crappy justice system gave him several smacks on the wrist. Lifes tough..its tougher when you are stupid. No useless court time on some poor LEOs day off.

So many opinions, it's really amazing. But think for a minute, for all of you who feel sorry for him....
If he lived.....he might try it again
If he lived...he might be crippled for life, and "we" would pay his medical bills
If he lived... he might have sued the owner of the car because it went so fast and he couldn't control it. And some defense lawyer would make a great case and win big bucks for him.
So I'm sticking with my very simple comment...

If the judicial system worked he'd still be alive today, and in jail. I blame liberals for advocating a "soft on crime" approach.
If his parents did their job, they wouldn't be burying their son.
If you don't think a Corvette is worth more than a human life just try to take one from someone who is armed.

If he was indeed making a joke I stand corrected! I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here.... perhaps it was just a and nothing more.
I do however stand by my statement that most "Johhnylaws" can handle a vehicle pretty darn well............
Thanks for pointing out the smiley...
