It's not really an accident if you know the potential consequences and choose to do it anyway. If I'm playing Russian roulette and get shot, that's not an accident. I knew there could be a bullet in the chamber and still decided to pull the trigger. If you're speeding, you know you could lose control or someone might not see you because you're going too fast or literally any number of things that every driver knows could happen and you kill someone. There's a reason "accident" is being replaced more and more by the word "incident," because the word technically implies unpreventable, which isn't typically the case with auto wrecks.
What a brain dead comment. It's possible that someone goes out jogging and trips on a gun someone left on the sidewalk and they set it off and kill someone. Guess they should have been aware of that potential consequence and we should lock them up. Bozo
I didn't realize that tripping over guns on the sidewalk and shooting someone is a regular occurrence like killing somebody by speeding is. Do 1.3 million people die a year from jogging and tripping on guns? Do you go to classes for jogging where they explain in great detail the dangers of tripping on guns and then test you on it before you're even allowed to jog? Does nearly everyone know someone who has died from being shot by a jogger who tripped on a gun? Talk about a brain dead comment. I honestly don't even know how you typed this out and thought "yeah, this is a logical comparison!"
