    Objection, speculation.

    I’m not here to debate what would have happened, I am just disappointed that the immediate reaction to a youth’s tragic death is guffawing.

    I hate cars too and I think they shouldn’t be around either. But as long as they are I am going to insist that kids get drivers ed training and that that training is constantly improved upon. I am being quite consistent here.

      lol, we’re commenting on each other’s speculations- impressive observation.

      But yeah- super disappointing people’s empathy doesn’t always extend to those that recklessly put others in danger and kill themselves. Super sad…

      But the good news is that we actually agree on the value of gun safety training. Turns out we can agree on the substance of gun policy while disagreeing that people that shoot themselves in the head are idiots!

          Fortunately it’s a wide spectrum and most 17 year olds aren’t nearly as idiotic as this Darwin award contender.
