Deadly Joyride

[Autonomous Collective]

(Apologies for the dramatic title, but you're reading this, hey?)
Two child passengers died Friday when a car driven by a 9-year-old boy in rural Mississippi crashed while being pursued by police, authorities said on Monday (?). 1 nine year old and a 13 year old were killed in the accident after being thrown from the car.

The incident occurred on Friday night after the car turned to avoid a mandatory checkpoint on Highway 35, just north of the town of Forest, about 45 miles east of Jackson.
A useless loss, overall.

That's horrible. We should outlaw check points, cops and driving age restrictions.

If we outlaw the police force, who would enforce that law?

Sad story.

The militia.

Who are what? A trained (hopefully), armed, and paid group of citizens? Sounds like the cops to me...

They were probably smokin' weed and chugging 40s.

Goddamit we need a 40 day waiting list on driving cars.... a cool down period as it were.

Kids do dumb things. These kids, unlike most of us, unfortunetly, did not survive their dumb actions. Sad, and a tragedy.

Sad story, but thank god they didn't kill themselves by gun. They would be dead even worse, and it would be much much more tragic !
