You can't possibly know that from the article.
they weren't wearing seat belts. That's why they are dead.
You can't know that either. They may or may not have lived if wearing belts.
If anyone is to blame, it's the media for portraying running from the police as "cool".
How very liberal of a concept, blame everyone except the person who caused it. Maybe video games were the cause. < /sarcasm>
I doubt the driver came up with this idea on his own.
He was driving, he didn't have to run away at high speed. The blood is on his hands. But he's dead, so we have to blame someone else.
It's not the police's fault when someone runs from them.
I agree and I hope your weren't implying I said anything like that.
That's akin to blaming a new TV in the house for a break-in.
Huh? Your analogy about the media is more like that. And I never did that, BTW.
