The BEST course of action is to whip out your cell phone and film it. Don't turn into a wannabe Rambo out to get justice.

did they *really* deserve to fuckin' die just for egging some cars??

Instead of being a grownup Lopez had to brandish his steel against some frightened unarmed losers because he evidently can't feel like a man without it

another innocent driver died. The eggers, who were 15 and stole dads car, are just fine.

It's just that pulling his sidearm for a situation that didn't call for it was beyond fuckin' stupid

They died because the kids ran a red light.

Between the egging and the deaths other crap happened that has to be acknowledged; the kids made decisions that apparently never existed or don't have to be admitted to in some people's worldview.

That denies them personhood.

There's zero plausible reason to get mad at your car getting egged, except for being an idiot.

Idiot pulled a gun, and it all went downhill fast from there.

ok

Being OK with a thing is wholly separate from getting bent out of shape.

You didn't know that?

OK.

I had a friend who had to represent (through his family law practice) kids who were dropping rocks on cars from a highway overpass; no one was killed, but there were accidents. This is a case of two wrongs, well, three - how did the dad have it so the car was available to a 15-year old?

This is all horrifically sad and maybe there are levels of blame, but a person died because a bunch of other people made bad decisions.

ok

What he did was wrong but I see people letting the kids off easy. It’s ultimately their fault.

If these juveniles hadn't been out committing criminal acts they wouldn't have encountered this guy nor recklessly sped and plowed into an innocent woman's truck, killing her.

Guy shouldn't have overreacted and pulled a gun but, to me, 99% of the blame for this tragedy rests with the teenaged driver and his crew.

That's vehicular manslaughter.

The reason they ran a red light is they were being chased by a freak with a gun, which has to add up to some type of assault with a deadly weapon resulting in death. Involuntary manslaughter at minimum.

That doesn't excuse the kids or the pursuer. They are all wrapped up in the chain of events leading to the victim's death.

I'm not sure I could convict him of much more than something like menacing for pulling the gun and the chase. On the other hand, I'd have zero problem in finding the teen driver guilty of felony murder.

The entire chain of events that led to this woman's death was set off by a bunch of asshole youths who decided to go out and get their kicks by committing criminal acts.

One does not have to make a choice between who deserves the blame.

into another car. They were fleeing someone threatening death. He could have taken a license plate number and let the cops handle it. He could have stopped and rendered aid. He had a lot of chances to do the right thing.

He killed another person and threw his life away at 14 for just so he and his homies could get their laughs.

I hope her family sues the fuck out of these juveniles’ parents.
