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

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.

“In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involv­ing distracted drivers. This represents a 6.7 percent decrease in the number of fatalities recorded in 2012. Unfortunately, approximately 424,000 people were injured, which is an increase from the 421,000 people who were injured in 2012.”

“Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55mph, that’s enough time to cover the length of a football field blindfolded.”

“At any given daylight moment across America, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, a number that has held steady since 2010.”

You are always at fault, if you rear end another vehicle, for being negligent, but it's not necessarily criminal.

And Bruce will have to pay up.

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

I didn't say that! That was someone's reply to me.

How does Bruce Jenner qualify for an award in the first place?

The all seeing eye of The Judges Of Sodom has beheld his depravity and recommends encouragement, fame, and reward. In this small way, they acknowledge his contribution to the debasement of common sense.

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

100%

The defense: Bruce was driving but Bruce doesn’t exist any more, so who gets tried?

That would be true if he weren’t a “hero”.

Bruce and the Media with Bruce being fault in the accident (I’m sure he didn’t mean/intend to kill someone) SHOULD HAVE bowed out of the TV appearances on “Caitlyn”. It’s extremely insensitive to the family of the deceased. He should have stayed away from TV.

Ok.

Seeing Bruce Jenner dressed in drag is one thing.

HEARING that same male voice of his while he’s dressed like that. Jeez. 10 seconds is my limit.

THAT MOVIE IS NO LONGER A COMEDY.
