(TBO) Florida Teenage hit-and-runner uses Self-Arrest lane to be booked and released in twenty minutes. Would have been ten but the stupid machine wouldn't read her coupons and she had to wait for the assistant manager to override it   (www2.tbo.com) divider line 290

I don't use the Self-Arrest lane because it doesn't really save you any time, and I hate doing my own handcuffing.

If you do it before, I'm sure you can just use the Self Arrest Lane and spare yourself some PMITA prison...

If I understand this correctly, you can kill someone in a hit-and-run, book yourself in and out in minutes, get the original charge thrown out because of police indifference, and then use plea bargaining to serve no jail time. Good job, Florida! Now I know which state to visit the next time my bloodlust boils over. I could kill someone without consequence and be home in time for supper.

Can you imagine how the poor victim's family must feel about this farcical form of "justice"?

A Davis Islands teen charged in a fatal hit-and-run didn't get special treatment when she was booked and released in less than 20 minutes.
maybe not there but definitely below....

Valdez's attorneys had negotiated with prosecutors to have her released on her own recognizance.

her family didn't care enough to make her not homeless so I am guessing they might issue a collective "meh".

Anyway, TFA says she could face 30 years in prison but it is likely she'll plea bargain down and serve no time. No mention that she was drunk or anything so her only real crime is leaving the scene of an accident... should she get Old Sparky for that?

Bloodlust? She was 17, and ergo probably a crappy driver. Most likely an accident...and she turned herself in, saving the police time and money hunting her down. And "family?" The victim was homeless.

/not that that justifies her death
//but there's no reason to throw away the key on a young person who was probably just driving carelessly....don't pretend YOU never drove stupidly when you were 17. You were just lucky enough to not hit any homeless people.

Good lord, are you seriously implying that she killed the homeless woman intentionally? Because you owe us all a big CITATION on that one. Nowhere in TFA does it say this was intentional. And yeah, she drove away, but what would you do if you were 17 and hit someone? Freak out, that's what. She didn't have the presence of mind at the time to do what those of us who are older than 17 would have done at the time. Which is exactly why she turned herself in later when she calmed down.

Having lived in DC and knowing what its like to have crack addicts dart in and out of the road and all random hours of the day, I can sympathize for the girl.... That said, her parents should have taught her that if you get in an accident you have to stay there and call the police. But kids being kids, and fearing trouble I can see why she fled the scene.

You haven't been following this story. It took the police two months of work to pin the crime on her enough to justify arresting her, even though everyone in town knew she did it. She refused to talk to police, despite having the wrecked car in her driveway.

I like the comments in TFA that say "let her free, it's not like she killed an animal or something, it was just a homeless person."

 
sabyJeBus 2009-07-10 02:44:39 PM  
anyone flipping out about this is an idiot...she got booked in 20 minutes, that doesn't mean she got acquitted, that means they processed her bullshiat paperwork in 20 minutes. if you even browsed the article youd see that she faces up to 30 years because she is being charged as an adult. which sucks cuz if someone over 18 slept with her that would be different, she'd be considered an infant.

In that case, I can see the other side to this. I hadn't known the timeline behind this. I STILL don't think she deserves the death penalty, but a solid jail sentence might be in order. I hadn't realized she'd spent three months trying to weasel out of it; I thought she had just turned herself in the next morning.

HMS_Blinkin: Boberto: skullkrusher: DslainteC: If I understand this correctly, you can kill someone in a hit-and-run, book yourself in and out in minutes, get the original charge thrown out because of police indifference, and then use plea bargaining to serve no jail time. Good job, Florida! Now I know which state to visit the next time my bloodlust boils over. I could kill someone without consequence and be home in time for supper.

Can you imagine how the poor victim's family must feel about this farcical form of "justice"?

her family didn't care enough to make her not homeless so I am guessing they might issue a collective "meh".

Anyway, TFA says she could face 30 years in prison but it is likely she'll plea bargain down and serve no time. No mention that she was drunk or anything so her only real crime is leaving the scene of an accident... should she get Old Sparky for that?

Sure, why not? She "accidentally" killed someone with her vehicle and then figured it would be cool to just drive away, no problems right?

This is the kind of person we want to see back on the streets...am I right or what?

Good lord, are you seriously implying that she killed the homeless woman intentionally? Because you owe us all a big CITATION on that one. Nowhere in TFA does it say this was intentional. And yeah, she drove away, but what would you do if you were 17 and hit someone? Freak out, that's what. She didn't have the presence of mind at the time to do what those of us who are older than 17 would have done at the time. Which is exactly why she turned herself in later when she calmed down.


Driving carelessly is intentional, yes. You can't drive like a farking idiot unless you let your foot slam the peddle, your eyes wander while you change the iPod, txt your bff Jill. Sure it was an "accident" in the sense that she obviously didn't want to kill someone but clearly her actions, while driving, resulted in the death of an innocent person.
She's guilty of being a moran. Who's moranic actions led to the death of another human being. I never said she did it intentionally - if that was the case I'd just be making jokes about it.

ANECDOTE: driving in Nova Scotia in the summer of 2006 with a friend. He was not paying attention and he made a right hand turn at the bottom of a hill only to have a biker slam into the side of his car, flip over the roof, land and break his leg. We stopped - I was 19, he was 20. We got out and made sure the guy was alive, it was totally my buddies fault and he admitted it directly (to the victim, and police later) while I called 911 to report it.....

That is what people who aren't total farking idiots do. Can you actually sit there and try and defend snowflake's actions as "the right thing to do" because she's 17?

All kidding aside, people who have killed other people do actually need to understand that's not acceptable behavior.

And the rest of the article explains that she'll probably never see a day of prison because of the plea bargain her lawyer's working out with prosecutors. Even her ticket was tossed out.

Remember, kids, just run down the homeless - they're cheap, easy, nobody cares about them, and you'll get off with probation.

yeah, I think the fact that she's been arrested and will get some sort of punishment will let everyone know that killing someone isn't acceptable in case they missed that memo. The relative wealth of the parties really has nothing to do with what happened. It was an accident. Sure it's possible that the police didnt try too hard to close the case because of who the victim was but that has nothing to do with this girl's actions.

The first couple of times you do tend to feel a tinge of remorse and believe that you should be punished. I know that I used to force myself to watch Angela's Ashes.

After awhile you realize that they deserved what they got and you were actually doing society a favor. I'm sure that varies from person to person - for me it was right around a dozen - but reaching this state certainly makes you more efficient the next time around. There also tends to be less time in between events.

Cars don't come out of nowhere and they aren't exactly a small bag of peanuts.

In addition, I hate self-righteous pedestrians that get some kind of satisfaction from making you wait for them whilst taking their time. The kind of person that doesn't even look before crossing as they expect you to stop for them. "Look both ways? ME? I have the right of way!" No, pal, this 3000 pounds of fiberglass and steel begs to differ.

The only place you get mercy from me is the crosswalk, and you better make it quick. Don't got time for your games.

Boberto: HMS_Blinkin: Boberto: skullkrusher: DslainteC: If I understand this correctly, you can kill someone in a hit-and-run, book yourself in and out in minutes, get the original charge thrown out because of police indifference, and then use plea bargaining to serve no jail time. Good job, Florida! Now I know which state to visit the next time my bloodlust boils over. I could kill someone without consequence and be home in time for supper.

Can you imagine how the poor victim's family must feel about this farcical form of "justice"?

her family didn't care enough to make her not homeless so I am guessing they might issue a collective "meh".

Anyway, TFA says she could face 30 years in prison but it is likely she'll plea bargain down and serve no time. No mention that she was drunk or anything so her only real crime is leaving the scene of an accident... should she get Old Sparky for that?

Sure, why not? She "accidentally" killed someone with her vehicle and then figured it would be cool to just drive away, no problems right?

This is the kind of person we want to see back on the streets...am I right or what?

Good lord, are you seriously implying that she killed the homeless woman intentionally? Because you owe us all a big CITATION on that one. Nowhere in TFA does it say this was intentional. And yeah, she drove away, but what would you do if you were 17 and hit someone? Freak out, that's what. She didn't have the presence of mind at the time to do what those of us who are older than 17 would have done at the time. Which is exactly why she turned herself in later when she calmed down.

Driving carelessly is intentional, yes. You can't drive like a farking idiot unless you let your foot slam the peddle, your eyes wander while you change the iPod, txt your bff Jill. Sure it was an "accident" in the sense that she obviously didn't want to kill someone but clearly her actions, while driving, resulted in the death of an innocent person.
She's guilty of being a moran. Who's moranic actions led to the death of another human being. I never said she did it intentionally - if that was the case I'd just be making jokes about it.

ANECDOTE: driving in Nova Scotia in the summer of 2006 with a friend. He was not paying attention and he made a right hand turn at the bottom of a hill only to have a biker slam into the side of his car, flip over the roof, land and break his leg. We stopped - I was 19, he was 20. We got out and made sure the guy was alive, it was totally my buddies fault and he admitted it directly (to the victim, and police later) while I called 911 to report it.....

That is what people who aren't total farking idiots do. Can you actually sit there and try and defend snowflake's actions as "the right thing to do" because she's 17?


When did I ever say it was the right thing to do? Go back through my post and show me where I wrote that. Because I didn't. I never said it was "right," it was wrong, but understandable. In a perfect world, she would have stopped and called 911 and waited for the cops to arrive. But she didn't. She freaked out in the heat of the moment, and kept driving, probably before she had time to realize what had happened. To me, I can understand not stopping immediately. It's wrong, and I hope to god that if I'm ever in that sort of situation I have the presence of mind to stop, but the situation is stressful and unexpected enough that I can understand her actions.

Where she farked up, and what I hadn't realized before, was that it took her three whole months to turn herself in. Even if she drove off in the heat of the moment, she should have gone to the police the next morning at the latest after she'd calmed down. Three months isn't cool.

In the United States, admitting anything is a good way to lose your income and your family's income for the rest of your life to some lawyers and "victim". So we don't do that down here. What your friend did would be incredibly stupid (aside from mis-managing his car).

Also, that road is one way, and has cars parked along it at all hours of the day, and the speed limit is fairly high.

How goddamn hard is it to look ONE WAY to look for cars who have their lights on in the dark? Or perhaps not jay walk? That was probably a suicide or someone stoned/drunk out of their mind.

Also, in some neighborhoods in the U.S., the smart thing is to drive away and tell the cops later so you don't get dragged out of your car and beaten to death for being a whitey. So driving away is barely a crime in some circumstances now.

That said, she avoided the issue for three months, which is just stupid. But still, that's just a stupid kid, not a hardened criminal. If you don't believe every single traffic violation and crime should be dealt with by a bullet in the head on the spot, then this case should be at the far far end of the "light sentencing" side. Sheesh, some of you folk really don't have any damn perspective outside a WoW clan do you?

Deacon Blue: Not unless you want to get taken to the cleaners in the civil suit.

Yeah, I suppose drawing the whole thing out would have been much more convenient for all those involved.. how many assets did this girl have? enough to make your point make sense? PS, car insurance covers the cost of that - 45 days and a $16,000 insurance payout later and the guy that got hit limped away on his crutches. That was his civil suit... The 20 year old had assets my friend www.jdavid.ca (Minas Realties). Of which he did not have to award a % to the guy he hit...again...his insurance covered it - if you had assets you would know about insurance.

I feel sorry for the Americans, can't do or say anything without a lawyer because anyone and everyone can and will take you to the cleaners.

Just curious... what civil suit would the biker in question (in my short anecdote) be able to bring that would award him any extra damages ontop of what was already given?

Yes. It's not automatically a crime to hit someone or something with your car, if it's not your fault. People can "jump out" unexpectedly. Leaving the scene is the crime.

Also, it's not even automatic that leaving the scene is a crime if you can prove that you were unaware you hit something. A woman in a van scratched my mirror while I was stopped one day, and kept going. I followed her and got her license, but the cops wouldn't even get involved. They simply gave me her personal info and told me to contact my insurance company.

Thankfully, this is not correct. Jeopardy only attaches when the jury is sworn, so simply dropping an initial charge is of no importance constitutionally. She can certainly be tried and convicted.

DslainteC: If I understand this correctly, you can kill someone in a hit-and-run, book yourself in and out in minutes, get the original charge thrown out because of police indifference, and then use plea bargaining to serve no jail time. Good job, Florida! Now I know which state to visit the next time my bloodlust boils over. I could kill someone without consequence and be home in time for supper.

Can you imagine how the poor victim's family must feel about this farcical form of "justice"?


Probably about the same way they felt about leaving their family member homeless?

Oh, my lord. Let me tell you a story how a guy, who badly cut me off in traffic and got hit in the back as a result at a speed of 15 mph (!!!) walked away with a 2inch paint scratch (!!!) on his back bumper and 45K of my insurance's money. Oh wait, I think that was the story.

Gawdzila: Very sad for the victim and her family, but putting a 17-year-old girl in jail for driving like a teenager isn't going to fix anything. She hit someone by accident and freaked out, as many people would. So now you're going to put her in an adult prison for 30 years to... what? Teach her a lesson? What does that teach her, exactly? "Don't act like a teenager"? All you're doing is punishing her for something they didn't mean to do and making sure that she will not be able to do anything useful with her life afterward, none of which will bring the victim back to life nor make her family miss her any less (and yes, homeless people can have families).

"Driving like a teenager" means killing people? So all teenagers should be allowed one free killing? You're farking retarded.

And while most people might freak out after killing someone, most people would not flee the scene and hope no one cathes them.

Also, it's possible that she fled for a reason, like being under the influence at the time, which would make her no better than any other hit-and-run DUI murderer. And before you make a retarded "she was just drunk driving like a teenager" excuse, if you don't know that drunk driving is illegal and potentially deadly by the age of 17, chances are you're never going to do anything good with your life anyway and should have the book thrown at you.

The main problem with panicking and leaving the scene is, how do we know the victim would have died if she recieved immediate medical treatment?
That is why she should get some jail time. That woman could have been laying on the road bleeding out for a couple of hours.

Well, see, the problem with your statement is that this article is in the business section, not opinion. See, the New York Times categorizes their articles into neat little subsections so that educated readers can discern what should be considered reporting on facts and what should be considered opinion.

So go back, read the article, and tell me where this author (and respected economist who teaches at Harvard and has his PhD from MIT) is injecting opinion into the article and not backing his statements as fact.

If this were an op-ed, it would be in Opinion, with the tagline of Op-Ed Columnist. But since it's in business, we can probably safely assume that it is not an op-ed piece.

but the writer isn't a politican. Quick wiki of him says that he went to Princeton undergrad and got his PhD in Econ from MIT and spent some time at Harvard Law. The fact that he's a Keynesian means he is slightly left of center as far as economists go. Partisan hack.

jafiwam: Boberto: ANECDOTE: driving in Nova Scotia in the summer of 2006 with a friend. He was not paying attention and he made a right hand turn at the bottom of a hill only to have a biker slam into the side of his car, flip over the roof, land and break his leg. We stopped - I was 19, he was 20. We got out and made sure the guy was alive, it was totally my buddies fault and he admitted it directly (to the victim, and police later) while I called 911 to report it.....

In the United States, admitting anything is a good way to lose your income and your family's income for the rest of your life to some lawyers and "victim". So we don't do that down here. What your friend did would be incredibly stupid (aside from mis-managing his car).

Also, that road is one way, and has cars parked along it at all hours of the day, and the speed limit is fairly high.

How goddamn hard is it to look ONE WAY to look for cars who have their lights on in the dark? Or perhaps not jay walk? That was probably a suicide or someone stoned/drunk out of their mind.

Also, in some neighborhoods in the U.S., the smart thing is to drive away and tell the cops later so you don't get dragged out of your car and beaten to death for being a whitey. So driving away is barely a crime in some circumstances now.

That said, she avoided the issue for three months, which is just stupid. But still, that's just a stupid kid, not a hardened criminal. If you don't believe every single traffic violation and crime should be dealt with by a bullet in the head on the spot, then this case should be at the far far end of the "light sentencing" side. Sheesh, some of you folk really don't have any damn perspective outside a WoW clan do you?

I sentence her to 1 year of hard "labor" in my basement.

/"hard". Heh heh.


That's the reason your country is so farked up. Read my post and you'll see it happened in Nova Scotia and he did admit to it LATER, to save the bullshiat court proceedings. Liability insurance on his vehicle had him covered, whether at fault, not at fault or no fault. It sucks that having no balls is given more respect than having a pair.

How would you feel if your girlfriend, daughter, brother, uncle, etc. got run over by "a stupid kid" who covered it up for 3 months because she was "scared"? Would you still have sympathy for her or is it the fact she hit a homeless person that makes you say she shouldn't get any level of book thrown at her?

As the right thing to do? Fark no, but as something that might be understandable? Yeah. Here's a news flash for you: not everybody deals with farked up situations in the same way. Some people freak out and do stupid shiat. She turned herself in after calming down. It's not like she went and got her car repainted to try to cover up the crime. She panicked.


3 months is a long period of time to just "cool off" wouldn't you agree?

the fact that none of us are related to the victim makes us more suited to talk about what punishment she should get since there are no emotions getting in the way. She definitely deserves punishment but her crime is still only leaving the scene of a fatality. She didn't cover anything up, either. She didn't get her car fixed.

You should check your insurance policy's contract... Don't think they can legally "drop" you right when you need the insurance payout... there is probably a clause against that. Yes, no doubt you may have lost your coverage from said company, but there are others. Also... How did the judge/police/insurance company even come to the conclusion that a paint scratch on a bumper was worth 45k? Or did he claim emotional damages too?

Sounds like you need a lawyer that is as good as your insurance company.

So who's fault is it really??


I don't think the girl should get in trouble for hitting the jaywalker, but she SHOULD get in trouble for leaving. More so because there was a death involved.

But to blame the family of a victim of an accident??? That's low. If homeless, she was probably mentally ill. If she's mentally ill, she's gonna do whatever the fark she wants until she's killed or put into jail/instiutionalized for her actions. As we know, she was never put into jail (or maybe just not long enough).

I don't think the girl should get in trouble for hitting the jaywalker, but she SHOULD get in trouble for leaving. More so because there was a death involved.

But to blame the family of a victim of an accident??? That's low. If homeless, she was probably mentally ill. If she's mentally ill, she's gonna do whatever the fark she wants until she's killed or put into jail/instiutionalized for her actions. As we know, she was never put into jail (or maybe just not long enough).


but if she's mentally ill and unable to make her own decisions, can't the family force her into treatment? Might be a state by state thing though

I don't want to go off-topic here, but I went to the link when he posted it, saw few numbers in the section related to what he was asserting, closed the window. It was not useful for the purposes of supporting his argument. Just saying "Well they include these groups" and saying there are "millions" of them doesn't really give helpful information. The best I see is his "18 million" which is about %40 of the uninsured.
When a relevant article pops up later on Fark I look forward to seeing all of you there with facts and data.

could you repost the links? They aren't clickable for me for some reason.

3 months is a long period of time to just "cool off" wouldn't you agree?

Probably not if one of the first things her parents did was to call a lawyer for advice on how to proceed from then.

My guess is the lawyers told her and her parents to STFU, especially not to admit anything for the time being while letting the lawyers do the talking with police and prosecution.

Wendy's Chili: "Driving like a teenager" means killing people? So all teenagers should be allowed one free killing?

No, you know very well what I meant, and if you don't you're f**king brainless.
"Driving like a teenager" means driving carelessly. Drive by any high school or freshman dorm around school hours and you'll see any number of young drivers texting while driving, turning to talk to people in the back seat, and whatever other stupid bullshiat they do. Any of them could potentially hurt or kill someone while not paying attention, most of them just aren't unlucky enough to do so.


Wendy's Chili: And while most people might freak out after killing someone, most people would not flee the scene and hope no one cathes them.

Maybe, maybe not. Whether it is more or less I don't know, but probably a significant number do. People make bad decisions when they freak out, just like she did.
How many people do you suppose flee the scene after hitting someone and NOT killing them? I don't know, but I'd guess lots, and any of those people could have ended up like this with some bad luck. It's just that not too many of those sorts of stories make national news unless the victim dies (and most of those are just local news, too).


Wendy's Chili: Also, it's possible that she fled for a reason, like being under the influence at the time, which would make her no better than any other hit-and-run DUI murderer. And before you make a retarded "she was just drunk driving like a teenager" excuse

I wouldn't make that excuse, particularly because there is nothing to be excused.
This is nothing but wild and irrelevant speculation on your part.

Who are homeless veterans?

The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) says the nation's homeless veterans are mostly males (4 % are females). The vast majority are single, most come from poor, disadvantaged communities, 45% suffer from mental illness, and half have substance abuse problems. America's homeless veterans have served in World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the military's anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. Forty-seven percent of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam Era. More than 67% served our country for at least three years and 33% were stationed in a war zone.

How many homeless veterans are there?

Although accurate numbers are impossible to come by -- no one keeps national records on homeless veterans -- the VA estimates that 131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. And approximately twice that many experience homelessness over the course of a year. Conservatively, one out of every three homeless men who is sleeping in a doorway, alley or box in our cities and rural communities has put on a uniform and served this country. According to the National Survey of Homeless Assistance Providers and Clients (U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and the Urban Institute, 1999), veterans account for 23% of all homeless people in America.

trappedspirit: Uh, when I was a teenager manslaughter was frowned upon. Not sure about now-a-days, but I would have been looking at some jail time.

Of course manslaughter is "frowned upon". Duh. But it was an accident. An accident that occurred in the process of her acting like probably half the kids at her school. There is a good reason why teenagers have crappy insurance rates.

Note that I didn't say she shouldn't be punished, I just said that 30 years is excessive, and it serves no useful purpose to incarcerate her for that long. In the long run it probably makes things worse for all involved, in fact.

agreed. I still think a bunch of hours community service working in a homeless shelter or walking around my apartment topless would serve a much greater good than throwing her in jail

The fappable driver committed a crime as a result of the victim committing an unlawful act. Therefore, the victim should be blamed as none of this would have happened if the homeless lady were not committing the crime.

I know math is generally frowned upon in Fark comments, but numbers from the article went like this: 47 million uninsured less 10 million illegal immigrants (who would remain uninsured) less 18 million denying coverage less an undetermined amount who haven't filed for Medicaid (I would assume Darth Mewling approximates this to be 8 million people) yielding 10 million people. So I would say the article supports his argument.

They CAN, but they don't have to. I faced that decision and it sucked, but I did what I had to do. Her family didn't (or couldn't... again, we don't know the circumstances). There's every chance she wasn't homeless, but was livin' with Ricky n Robby over at the Shady Pines Trailer Court... got caught stumblin' back from a run to the Li'l Champ with a pack o' `Ports and a bottle of WHACK!!!!!!

Usually, that would sound crazy. But in this case, the "victim" stepped into the street, where cars have been known to zoom by, and something completely obvious and foreseeable happened. The driver is at fault for fleeing, not for driving down the road like people normally do.

/please note - I don't know all the facts here. if the young driver was speeding, drunk, texting her BFF and ordering some slacks from J Peterman, then she's taking a much larger share of the blame in my eyes.

well, I thought my "libtard" post was an obvious troll. If it wasn't, I apologize. It was in reference to someone saying that no one hopes homeless people die. I responded "speak for yourself, libtard"... that should have been pretty apparent but anyway.
Partisan hack was a sarcastic reference to the economist, not you.

Illegal immigrant population estimates range from about 8 million to as high as 20 million so I'd say he used a rather conservative number there. I haven't been able to find any figures on people who are eligible for medicaid but have not applied. Median household income has grown rather substantially in the past 30 years. Using the term "whargarbl" does not a good counter-argument make nor does it make you sound like an open-minded person.
In any case, this article which you say does not support the original poster's assertion that your 47 million uninsured number was inflated in fact does support that assertion.

• She killed someone. 30 years doesn't seem like enough.

• But, it was an accident. And 30 years in jail may not rehabilitate her.

• Still, she killed someone. Knocked a homeless woman out of her shoes, and threw her 100 feet. So not only did she leave the scene of an accident, she may have likely been exceeding the speed limit.

• Have her lose her license (until at least 21, if not 25 or later), or make it so she can't drive past midnight, or without supervision. (Though those stipulations may likely not be followed, and may result in fines only).

• Community service sounds like a good idea, especially at a homeless shelter, near where the accident occurred. Maybe also spend time as a crossing guard, near a school zone, to see how others drive, and what she may want to try to avoid. Maybe even do community service at a hospital with accident victims, to see the damage caused by car accidents.
Jail time won't change her, it may make her jaded, and just hurt her later in life.
• If you show her the error of her ways, show her the consequences (to other people), THAT may change her more than jail time.

His illegal immigrant whargarbl isn't backed up with any evidence. His medicaid whargarbl isn't backed up with any evidence. And the percentage of income whargarbl is so thick and tender you could cut it with a fork. Incomes haven't really gone up in 30 years, but healthcare costs have skyrocketed. But according to him, this is ok, because you're getting what you pay for. Insurance execs were probably pissing their pants with laughter as they were reading that.

skullkrusher: but the writer isn't a politican. Quick wiki of him says that he went to Princeton undergrad and got his PhD in Econ from MIT and spent some time at Harvard Law. The fact that he's a Keynesian means he is slightly left of center as far as economists go. Partisan hack.

I don't care if he's ever held office, he's Bush's man and he's Romney's man. I don't give a shiat where he went to school. And accusations of "partisan hack" are pretty rich coming from and asshole who was throwing around "libtard" in this very thread.


he also cites an article written by an economist from Berkeley and another from Stanford for his higher incomes can explain a greater % of income spent on healthcare. Hardly bastions of Bushie "whargarbl".
I am willing to bet that people tend to spend a greater % of their money on leisure as incomes go up as well. Is that evidence that the cost of leisure is getting out of hand as well?

myzdoxae: • She killed someone. 30 years doesn't seem like enough.

• But, it was an accident. And 30 years in jail may not rehabilitate her.

• Still, she killed someone. Knocked a homeless woman out of her shoes, and threw her 100 feet. So not only did she leave the scene of an accident, she may have likely been exceeding the speed limit.

• Have her lose her license (until at least 21, if not 25 or later), or make it so she can't drive past midnight, or without supervision. (Though those stipulations may likely not be followed, and may result in fines only).

• Community service sounds like a good idea, especially at a homeless shelter, near where the accident occurred. Maybe also spend time as a crossing guard, near a school zone, to see how others drive, and what she may want to try to avoid. Maybe even do community service at a hospital with accident victims, to see the damage caused by car accidents.
Jail time won't change her, it may make her jaded, and just hurt her later in life.
• If you show her the error of her ways, show her the consequences (to other people), THAT may change her more than jail time.

See? It was a compassionate death! The b*tch didn't know what hit her!

it's funny how things work, running from farked up situations is kind of built into the genes, so is it really surprising that so many people bolt? I mean, personally, I don't have that reaction, I'm the guy who usually runs *toward* trouble, but while the whole hiding out thing is mildly reprehensible I don't think we should make two tragedies out of one. Make her do some time yeah, but this chick is likely riding around on a junior license, what possible rationale says that she should be tried as an adult?

skullkrusher: Illegal immigrant population estimates range from about 8 million to as high as 20 million so I'd say he used a rather conservative number there. I haven't been able to find any figures on people who are eligible for medicaid but have not applied. Median household income has grown rather substantially in the past 30 years. Using the term "whargarbl" does not a good counter-argument make nor does it make you sound like an open-minded person.
In any case, this article which you say does not support the original poster's assertion that your 47 million uninsured number was inflated in fact does support that assertion.


It supports it, but not with any facts. How does the author know that all of these immigrants are uninsured?

The fact that you are "willing to bet" isn't evidence.

The % of income going to healthcare has risen dramatically, the % of income going to rent/mortgages and other costs of living have risen dramatically, the only way people are spending more on leisure as well is if they're living off of ramen and dollar menu cheeseburgers and piling up credit card debt.

That article is a bunch of bullshiat, this part in particular: higher incomes can explain a greater % of income spent on healthcare. First of all, real income, adjusted for inflation, has been stagnant for decades while healthcare costs have skyrocketed. But even if it weren't and Reagan's trickle was making all of us richer every day, healthcare isn't a luxury. People aren't paying a greater and greater percentage of their income on it because it's neat and they like it and they have the disposable income, they do it because they need it. The insurance companies keep jacking up rates because they can. People continue to pay them because they have little or no choice. If people just had more money to blow on it as the author suggests, then people wouldn't be going into bankruptcy

Most on the right admit to their constituents that the status quo is unacceptable, but they pull out the most outrageous excuses to maintain it. IT boggles the mind. And I don't care what some douche from Berkeley or Stanford said, if I had the inclination, I could drop names of dozens of academics who say the exact opposite of what these jokers are saying.

jafiwam: fanbladesaresharp: I saw that too. The lady was MILF-ish territory. She was only 33. The photo from the website doesn't suggest a woman that's been on the street for 5 years. But everyone is fapping for the chance to bang a 17 year old and get away with it.

Egads.

Mug shot, hair standing on end, obviously drunk, ill fitting clothing and a very very stupid stare is hot to you?

/Must be the ladder theory.


It Friday. Give it time for TSG's line up. I didn't say hot to ME, just that she doesn't look as "hard" as what one might expect from one that has been on the streets a while.

I'm surprised they're even pretending to file charges.

When this first come up, there was a lot of "Oh but..." from the prosecutors because her family (and their money) was basically shielding her from everything after she ran and for whatever reason they couldn't get the appropriate evidence because they had destroyed it.

first off, you say that there are 47 million uninsured people in the United States and that "skyrocketing" health insurance costs is putting so many families at risk but then but then you are going to argue that any substantial percentage of illegal immigrants have insurance? No, the author does not have proof that all illegal immigrants lack insurance but let's not be obtuse here.

You are speaking often about "lack of proof" and now you're threatening to "drop names of dozens of academics who say the exact opposite of what these jokers are saying"... so do it. If the article's author has a burden of proof, I'd say you do as well.

Where is your data and counter arguments aside from insulting people who disagree with you, both on the Fark board as well as extremely well regarded economists?

Doesn't anyone give a damn that her fleeing had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the woman died? Even the police have more or less cleared her of any wrongdoing in the accident itself, and it's been widely published that this woman received medical attention very shortly after the accident because some bystanders called for assistance.

What she did was wrong and she deserves to pay for it in some way, but saying she committed manslaughter or murder or anything even remotely similar to that is just ignorant and inflammatory. Her leaving the scene had NOTHING AT ALL to do with the death, and she apparently was not negligent or reckless in hitting the woman. If she were she would have been charged with negligent homicide or involuntary manslaughter.

sxacho: DslainteC: sxacho: Settle down. The victim was HOMELESS. Can't you read?

Point taken. I missed the part about her being homeless. That means she had no family and was unloved. Quite frankly, I'm glad she's dead.

Now you've got it.


Ouch. That's hands down the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life anywhere. I only wish this thread weren't dead so that you could see my appreciation.
