And if you kill a CEO is terrorism

My friend's mom got run over recently. The guy had the alcohol percentage that indicated he'd don't at least ten shots of hard liquor in an hour and he was going well over the speed limit. He got her so hard it crumpled the front of his truck.

But in Cali, since it's a first time offence, he's getting like, a thousand dollar fine. The cremation is going to cost more.

What the fuck?

It could be hard to explain why he had to drive it up on the sidewalk and squeeze between the curb-parked cars and the building on accident. And also why it was covered in silencers.

You don't need silencers, just a prius or similar.

Actually a tesla could be good for this: just need to figure out a way to trick the self driving into thinking the sidewalk is a car lane, and the CEO is a small child. /s

Why did you add /s, that would work

Not sure but I think I remember hearing somewhere that allegedly the video where the tesla ran over the inflatable child might have been faked.

But even then the various self driving car cos have killed several people in san Francisco.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Luigi didn't kill that CEO as far as we know, and titles like this don't help an innocent man.

This is incredibly reductive and makes us look like idiots who don't understand "intent".

I get it, fuck cars, but this is ridiculous and only serves to make us look like a joke

If he used a car purposefully to kill the CEO, no- he would most certainly NOT be free right now.

Murder is murder, regardless of the chosen method.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

This, plus gun-related accidents happen all the time, and they're called accidents. Nobody calls those murder. I sympathize with the intent here, but this meme doesn't make any sense

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (29 children)

He would obviously just lie and say it was an accident. I would match his story.
