Helmets might protect the coconut, but the rest is very vunerable. Body vs auto usually results in auto winning big time!

I'm impressed Ted.

I didn't think you blogged at 7:45 in the morning :)

I can not even beleive what I am reading. Why does it matter if he had a helmet on or not? That was a gut wrenching story? What if it were your child? The bottom line is he, like many young men in our city are driving around with out licenses. The big difference is he killed someone. What if he was wearing a helmet? He is still dead. The penalty was a joke and the young man is still driving. Would you feel different if both parties were white or if both were black? Or would you see it different if the victim was black and the driver was a white person from the brubs? A life was lost needlessly!!! He was wrong, the price he paid should have been higher and he should not be driving until he has his license. It is that simple.

The points here are quite correct, this D#$t B*g did not have a lic, he has never had one, has shown habitual criminal behavior, (is such a productive member of society), a lay about dopper, He would be singing a different song if he had to stand over the casket of his own child, provideing that he ever knows who his children are. It was glowingly apparent in every segment of the interview that he did not give a hoot what he was being asked to face up to. and like so many of these wastes of good human skin, really does not care in the least what he did.
The point is well made, that Jazz would be singing a differant song if it had been a white driver and a black kid killed on the cycle. OMG we would have Jackson and sharpton here protesting on the Mayors door step to have the person hauld out and beaten in public. Because the same outcome would have been a HUGE racial issue that the driver was not held to any accountability.
The state laws are quite a joke, and the few petty changes that have been made are an even greater joke. It's like saying to the families that grieve over these loses every day (Oh OK here will slap them on the wrist just a bit harder - there do you feel better) Michigan has it right Long prison time that most assuedly keeps unlicensed drives from getting behind the wheel.

OK, first off AJSB, the helmet may or may not have made a difference, haven't you ever heard of INTERNAL BLEEDING???? And in some cases, Like car and motorcycle accidents that the internal bleeding is so bad that no matter how long the doctors work on the patient they still die. If the guy wasn't driving his car and obeying the law the person on the motorcycle might still be here today!
