Doug Johnson, [edit] Could this had been a simple accident? Said nothing about a DUI or a drug addict being in the wrong. Simmer down, could have just been an old lady driving confused and unconfidently… Just pointing out your ignorance of the matter, same as my ignorance of you and your lifestyle. You will live longer and healthier, if you stop the hate. Peace finger pointer.

No such thing as an “accident.” Fault of a driver or mechanical failure (fault of the maker). The victim society wants to either 1) make everything someone else’s fault or 2) blame nothing (an act of the goddess, etc). This ensures that destructive individuals (addicts of all kinds, criminals, socialists, etc.) get away with their crimes against the rest of us. Unless they want to sue, sue, sue. See #2 above. Then they wail and moan and cry over their lost beloved, and get a lawyer (not necessarily in that order). See Josiah Lawson case.

“He couldn’t help it, officer, he was beaten by his daddy and had an alcoholic, prostitute mama so there was no way he could not become a serial killer.”

The fact that his/her handle is “Dong Johnson” pretty much speaks volumes as to what mentality and age level he/she is currently struggling to achieve.

Doesn’t mean that one didn’t jump in front of them and cause the accident.

This time of year, it could be a political pole.

They had to be high or drunk to do that.

The car in the picture was driving in the left lane. A truck in the middle lane merged left into the car. Pushing it into the pole. No drugs or alcohol involved. Just a blind spot.
