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.


45k? What did you hit? A Ferarri? I think there's more to this story.

yeah, 'tis kinda scary that anything relating to 8 years of an American presidency is dismissed out of hand like that.

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.

An editorial opinion, course of. :-P

well it's op-ed and it's short for "opposite the editorial page" but anyway, I am curious to see this op-ed you're talking about. What Bush advisor wrote it and when?

The NYT link that Darth Mewling provided was written by N. Gregory Mankiw, the Chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisors.

He also happens to be heavily influenced by Keynes, as are most of Obama's econ advisors, so I am not entirely sure what Wendy's Chili is getting at. Probably guilt by association.

But I must say, the fact that I have to explain all of this is strong evidence of the latter.

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.

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).

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

You leave Rambo out of this. He never would've gotten hit by a car.

That blog really makes me want to post a comment to "Taylor" who was a family member of the homeless woman. Apparently she is upset now, but had the family taken care of this woman, she would not have been on the street...and jaywalking.

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'm sorry, I may be completely misunderstanding you here, but are you saying that rather than blaming the girl for the death, or the family, we should blame the victim?

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.

hahaha, he would have jumped on the back of it, loaded the .50cal and just given her hell. that is standard now, right?

Fairlane500: wyrlss: 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.

Is this an American-only attitude? Do people in other countries understand what "homeless" actually means?

In San Francisco it means degenerate, drug addled scum bag.

QFT. If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to look at the tops of the buildings if you want to see any beauty at all. The further you progress downward, the more prevelant the absolute filth. There are more lazy, crazy, drug-addled homeless in San Fran than there are pigeons there.
