More on that.

A 19 year old driving a CLS63 caused the crash and killed the woman, and was released on a $500,000 bail. Wow.

I hope he gets a bullet in his head.

 

The people who try to defend the street racers... FAIL.

Sadly, this kind of accident happens all too often, although the ones with expensive cars certainly receive more media attention. If combustion-powered cars are still around when I buy my kids cars, it won't have any more than 4 cylinders.

I had occasional access to a 6-cylinder car when I was in high school (full access through most of college), and that was TROUBLE. The smoothness of larger engines and the stability of a well-designed car give too much temptation to the youngest drivers. I wasn't even remotely into street racing, and I still knew that car was too powerful for me.

 

Not sure how far any of you read the posts on mbworld but the cash is insignificant. Apparently he's an international student whose parents are worth something ridiculous like 7-800 million.

Deport him and be done with it as the justice system will not exact any meaningful measure of punishment.

 

Please take it to the track, not on the streets.

 

That's insane! I guess that explains how he got out on bond. If he's an international student, would they do anything serious to him?

 

Whats interesting, they are street racing at 19 and when I was 19 I hated the idea of driving. In all honesty I still hate the idea of driving. Plus if they wanted to street race, they should have gone to some god forsaken industrial area or used part of the highway where there is no cars.

 

He's worth 700 million according to what, Joe Schmoe posting on some online forum with absolutely no other source to back up his figure?

 

jeez, and they both are indonesian. what f** idiot !! i really wanna bust their f*** head seriously !! this is really well known, indonesian students in SF/San Jose most of them have $$$ (parents') to spend but no brain to study! i wont be surprise the CL63 parents will do whatever they can w/ $$$ to take him out from US then get a new passport, change his name, and move to another country....

 

I am surprised that the States Attorneys office didn't consider the guy a flight risk. Plus if he does switch and gets out of the country (goes back to Indonesia). I don't think the US-Indonesia have an extradition treaty.

I bet if 4chan gets a hold of this story (if this guy disappears), they will start trying to find records and information on the family.

 

Ive been on MB World for a few years now, some of these guys are just amazing at snooping around finding this kind of stuff out.

Yeah I love reading successful "internet sleuthing" stories, especially when scammers/delinquents end up being brought to justice.

Back to the crux of the issue - I think one problem is the fact that law enforcement tends to be relatively lax on street racing in general if there aren't any real consequences. Here's a video of some kid doing 144 MPH on the highway getting stopped by the police. The lax punishment that he receives seems pretty typical from what I've seen, and I think that's part of the problem -

As for Ashley she was just months away from her 25th birthday

As per the video posted above, karma going to get that cop good. Just imagine if this guy gets into a car accident and the people he kills is the cops family. The cop will have to blame himself for that ****.

 

lovely, I avoid people who do what if scenarios I have worked with cops and they speed as much as anyone on this forum, they are doing nothing out of the ordinary

 

that is called WINNING
