I was once a stupid kid that was joy-riding in a my friends dads car. He had "borrowed" it while his dad was on vacation, I snuck out with him in the middle of the night and ended up totalling his dads car after I rolled it into a ditch going 70 mph. I was 16 without a license. My parents did NOT raise me to do that, I made my own bad choices. Just like those kids did, only I was lucky enough to only have horrible whip lash and my friend escaped with seven staples in his head. I wish a cop WOULD have caught me when I was going 100 mph on the freeway. The car wouldn't have been totalled and we wouldn't have been hurt. I'm just lucky that I rolled it when I did too, because two minutes later a family in a minivan came driving by and called an ambulance for us. THANK GOD FOR THAT COP THAT CHASED THOSE KIDS BEFORE THEY KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. (I'm 19 now and hopefully know better)

", I made my own bad choices. Just like those kids did"

That's the whole problem here, only one kid was driving the car, the other six were innocent passengers who were more than likely screaming for their lives and begging the driver to stop during the chase. They committed no crime. Some of them were only 13. But this is the year 2004, the age of the hardened heart.

You might not be stupid now, but you're still a kid.
Many times I have wondered how I managed to survive
the stupidity of my late teens/early twenties.
