Hard-luck season continues for pissed-off kid, Tony Stewart runs him over & kills him

[Pants II]

Stewart is not at fault. Kid was an idiot.

Kinda difficult to charge Stewart with murder considering he was parked behind a car blocking his view and going at a high rate of speed on a dirt track.

No way he gets any time for it.

It's too hard to prove intent and the dumbass pulled a Darwin move to walk on the track and confront the great Tony Stewart.

The cars weren't going very fast. I've jogged on roads where cars go 30-to-40MPH. It looks like the car veered out and just sucked him up and spit him out.

Sure looks like Stewart attempting to intimidate the kid by accelerating causing his car to go sideways. You can hear the acceleration clearly on the video. He miscalculated how close the kid was. He is not without any fault in this but the kid clearly should not have been on a dark track in a dark suit.

from what i read, they don't know that it was his car accelerating-the audio could well have picked up another vehicle.
there's no criminal intent, the guy stepped out onto a track at night in a dark suit-not the brightest idea.
i know several say 'well stewart was pissed'. why would he be mad, the wreck did nothing to him. and i doubt some 20 year old who got wrecked would be an issue to him either.
i'm surprised it's taken this long, knowing how many of these geniuses (including stewart) have gone storming across the track to show their displeasure. sheer idiocy.
there won't be charges. but i fully expect a civil suit by the kids family.

The only people that would agree with this are the braindead and the deaf. Even the blind could tell there was acceleration before impact.

i'll tell you i am neither, and don't appreciate your remarks. i neither know nor care if there was any acceleration, just know what i've read and heard on reports. saw a video of it once, on a cell.

If it's "they" who don't know, then why would you get all pissy? You're just telling us what you've read.

but since we're on it.......how the hell would you know if Stewart was mad or not?? You know their back story? Were you inside his head? His car? Have access to his radio?

He clearly drifted the kid into the wall.

Besides, this is the first time Tony Stewart has ever flown off the handle. His track record is pristine.

Two wrongs never make a right, and on that night, it cost a kid his life.

Declan, I'd withdraw the deafness complaint and rest your case on the braindead complaint.
