    What do you think would happen to a civilian in a Stand Your Ground state did this ?

    If someone with a gun broke into their home, and the home owner chased them out of the house, pursued them, and then shot them in the back without an immediate threat to their life, they would most certainly be charged with murder.

    It’s sad how people like you think people “behaving like this” deserve to die.







  • I don’t know… have you ever seen those massive pile ups on highways during winter? Doesn’t even have to be a lot of snow. In my experience, people generally don’t know how to properly drive when conditions are perfect, let alone when conditions are harsh. Unfortunately, it leads to a lot of unnecessary deaths.

    It isn’t even idiocy, just a lack of understanding how to properly handle a vehicle, making sure you have the proper equipment (snow tires vs summer), the equipment is maintained, etc.

    I always hate feeling like “that guy” whenever I have to explain that AWD is not a safety feature, but a performance feature. AWD isn’t going to do dick if you’re riding on summer tires, driving 10mph over the speed limit while visibility is trash, you’re up the ass of the person in front of you, and snow’s coming down. It also isn’t going to help if you don’t know how to make corrections or if you hit a patch of ice.

    I’m from the north east, so I can’t speak to what people are like with hurricanes in Florida, but it’s frustrating how many people up here don’t take driving in inclement weather seriously.
