This seems to happen multiple times per year internationally and you know that’s really disgusting and why I advocate traffic control enforcement via video surveillance nationwide (USA) and internationally; then the police could have arrested these people at leisure.

It’s also time that people that drive in such a manner get hit up with charges of wanton endangerment in the 1st degree every time.

I’m tired about hearing of the rights of drivers and their privacy when it’s a privilege not a right. The victims are innocent when these privileges are abused.

I’m also an advocate of many more sidewalks, catwalks and tunnels across busy streets but what stops this is video traffic enforcement and a lot of very expensive tickets, impounded cars, revoked licenses, jail, un-insurability and un-employability of repeat abusers.

:frowning:

So sad :frowning:

RIP engineer and hope that your life in the next world will be better than in our reality. :frowning:

That’s a shame, it’s a lightbulb gone out due to the stupidity of the rest of humanity. We’re our own worst enemies as a species.

Agreed. Such a loss, shame he never got to see the oculus rift revolutionize the industry. Rest easy.

:frowning:

Rest in peace.

RIP Andrew Reisse.

Its so messed up that these oxygen thieves took the life of a great mind.

Can’t believe this.

I say give them the death penalty man. And it’s not even out of hate, that wouldn’t be rational…but they killed him fleeing the police? WTF.
Animals like that should be put out of rotation, plain and simple.

I can’t help thinking that we should idolise people of science and pay then 10x more than anyone else, more than actors. More than sports stars. Because that sends a clear message that using your brain is the human ideal.

Will it ever happen?

Sad to hear another great mind destroyed out of stupidity. Hope, they get a long hell filled life in jail.

I used to think death penalty was OK, but I’ve changed my mind. Of course I worry about someone like those perpetrators being released to do the same crime rather than spend their life in prison. I’m not so sure about the passengers culpability, I was trapped nauseous trying to lay in the floor so I wouldn’t become a projectile in the back seat of a Camaro/Firebird/something in college while some fool drove squealing tires on 1 lane winding back roads at some sickening speed. Should have know better than to get in the car of a college roommate’s friend, especially when all the other ones were trying to get me to smoke pot, sniff coke, and other things.

I do know I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for video traffic enforcement common sense. Those police felt they had to pursue that car because that had no way to track them.

In the interest of safety as hippo suggested, and knowing how cheap the US government is, unless you have a weapons system capable of destroying billions and billions, how about a suggestion of an encapsulated GPS Location Tracking device embedded in a protective shell that can be shot through a trunk (boot) cover into the trunk and still remain functional rather than send police chasing after people like this or shooting out their tires dangerously…I know they’ve invented armour penetrating bullets already.

…but then this is from someone that has noise making devices glued to the bumper of his car to scare squirrels and opossums off the street.

So they thought killing someone who (most likely) contributed more to society was worth avoiding prison…well dang. Don’t care if they didn’t mean it to happen, they were escaping the law and killed someone in the process of trying to avoid getting what’s due to them and that is prison.

What?! Omg…

Not as long as 95% of the mankind are barely bright enough to properly kick a football and think that beings like paris hilton and other starlets are to be looked up to and need to be loved instead of being seen as what they are, the proof that mankinds best evolutionary future is one where we hopefully vanish from this universe at least for our and the universe interest.

And I agree, its sad that this kind of stuff happens, especially that a few guys who never will contribute anything meaningful to the future of mankind robbed a single individual the possibility to do exactly that and that for breaking law … Its one of the few cases that really make me think that a ‘full controlled environment’ might actually not be that bad if applied correctly. Nowdays the fear of consequences somewhat seems to be considered a joke or there wouldn’t be that much ignorance or arrogance (they will never catch me) taking place amongs those breaking laws willfully

The police said that the people who killed him were “gangbangers on probation”, presumably meaning that they should have been in prison for their previous crimes but were given a slap on the wrist by a judge. I’ve seen worse cases, such as a young woman being raped and killed by a serial rapist who was let out (yet again) after serving only a small fraction of his sentence. This type of thing is routine in the U.S judicial system.

I’m not sure it’s the judicial system that is at fault here. We are the #1 country for the number of people in prison, and we have as many people in prison as countries 23 have combined. A look at the numbers suggest about 1/3 of the people in prison in the world, are in prison in the USA. Perhaps we should look at what is causing so much crime that fills our jails so full that we have to let convicts out early.

It’s a terrible shame this man was killed. I hope they caught the individuals and are prosecuting them to the full extent of the law.
