Stewart throws helmet at Kenseth
Hint: The guy throwing the helmet in this video is Tony Stewart. Notice how slow Matt Kenseth is going (additional hint: The race is under caution) and notice how he swerves to avoid Tony rather than steering towards him.
Like I said, I’m not a fan - the ONLY race I’ve ever watched was the 5 seconds or so of this idiot getting out of his car. If stewart got out of his car he is an idiot too. So should he be dead? Would that make you happy?
And if Tony Stewart had been run down while doing that I’d be defending the guy who accidentally ran him down.
I'm no fan of Tony Stewart, primarily because of the anger issues he had early in his career. However, there is NO evidence to suggest that he did anything criminal in the Ward incident. Was he negligent in driving too high on the track, going too fast, not responding quickly enough? Even if Stewart was (and you seem to about the only one who thinks so), a grand jury found nothing criminal in his actions, although apparently the grand jury should have asked you to read Stewart's mind.
Auto racing is inherently dangerous. Anyone who participates knows that. Act stupidly and risk increases exponentially. Kevin Ward's death was a tragedy but wrongly prosecuting someone without clear evidence only compounds the tragedy.
Fortunately, we don't do prosecution of a person in this country because YOU don't like them.
How far into the caution? 300 feet or 3 laps??? HOw many actual feet did Kenseth have to slow down to caution speed???
Is this in daytime??
Is it at night on a larger, more well-lit track?
Is Kenseth driving a car which has a LARGE WING over the top, going down the right side & OBSCURING the view in that direction?
Is Tony dressed in black at night time on a dark track???
What I see here is entirely different than the small dark track where Ward got hit.
At least make SOME effort to compare apples to apples.
