Killer to Get ESPY “Courage” Award
London Telegraph ^ | July 14th, 2015 | reasonmclucus

Posted on 07/14/2015 6:38:46 AM PDT by kathsua

It was in the county of Los Angeles, California. It was Saturday Feb. 7, 2015. At 12:12 P.M. the call came in. ESPY’s future hero then known as Bruce Jenner had been courageously driving along the Pacific Coast Highway at just over 46 mph casually smoking a cigarette like an old movie hero. He was apparently unaware of the danger ahead where some vehicles were stopping at a traffic light. ESPY’s future hero didn’t have to worry. The big Cadillac SUV he was driving would protect ESPY’s hero from injury when he couldn’t stop fast enough to avoid hitting the Lexus ahead of him. The impact caused the Lexus to cross over into the oncoming traffic lane where the driver Kim Howe died when a hummer hit her vehicle.

Unless he/she was texting or something it seems like just a terrible accident and not a crime even if it is Bruce/Catylin Jenner.

How does Bruce Jenner qualify for an award in the first place? He’s been out of the athletic or sports world for decades. Supposedly this award is based on people who have a current connection to the world of sports.

Unless ESPN is just wanting to prove how liberal they are. But some of the talk I’ve heard, ESPN is perceived as an absolute joke with this.

Reminds me of how Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for having achieved nothing.

Perhaps he/she was adjusting his/her makeup at the time of the accident.

He was following way too close, considering he was pulling a heavy recreation vehicle behind.....

...he couldn’t stop......so plowed into the first car in front of him knocking her into the traffic, and she gets hit and killed
....Bruce still can’t stop and proceeds to role on until he hits the car ahead.

Sure, just a simple accident....
You....or I.....or anyone else would be dealt with so hard our heads would be spinning....
And sued from here to kingdom come.

Probably but I don't believe that's a crime.

The press doesn’t know what to do; he’s a protected tranny then again he is a Republican.

But then again "driving while distracted" possibly? But it needs to be proven. Meantime "killer" seems unjust.

I’m certain that Jenner will be sued just as you or I would be sued for his negligence that caused the accident.

It was due to a mechanical failure. The SUV had a bad tranny.

I thought hitting someone from behind makes it your fault for following to closely.

Reckless driving resulting in a death is most certainly a crime—for serfs.
