Darryl Anderson was drunk behind the wheel of his Audi SUV, had his accelerator pressed to the floor and was barreling toward a car ahead of him when he snapped a photo of his speedometer. The picture showed a car in the foreground, a collision warning light on his dashboard and a speed of 141 mph (227 kph).
An instant later, he slammed into the car in the photo. The driver, Shalorna Warner, was not seriously injured but her 8-month-old son and her sister were killed instantly, authorities said. Evidence showed Anderson never braked.
Anderson, 38, was sentenced Tuesday to 17 years in prison for the May 31 crash in northern England that killed little Zackary Blades and Karlene Warner. Anderson pleaded guilty last week in Durham Crown Court to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
If children dying from mass shootings isn’t enough to move these obstructionist-types, then nothing is.
When Sandy Hook happened and we didn’t even get universal background checks, I saw conservatives plainly that day.
The only thing stopping a bad driver with a fast car is a good driver with a fast car!
Guns have useful legal purposes and specific constitutional protections though. Cars don’t. The number of people going track racing in their SUVs has to be essentially zero.
Weapons are tools with only one utility, kill people.
Fascists and oppressors are people too.
Killing people isn’t always illegal, and you forgot hunting, euthanasia, and target shooting.
Who exactly is euthanizing people with a gun? And why aren’t they using a less painful method?
If a horse or cow breaks its leg, what’s a less painful method? A properly-aimed bullet is instant and 100% painless. You gonna call a vet, wait half a day if you’re lucky, and then hope they give chemicals quickly and correctly while the animal languishs in pain?
Settle down there, Governor Noem.
The famous US constitution of England written by George Washingtonshire.
These rights are enshrined in the Magna Car-ta
it’s cheaper to race on the streets
