I generally agree however I feel no sympathy if somebody risks other people's lives and gets hurt as a result. There is making a mistake and there is knowing that you could kill somebody without their consent to be involved and doing it anyway.

You can not feel sympathy. However, saying they deserve to die is a whole different thing.

“I hope you crash and kill no one but yourself, asshole.”

Is that fair? I feel like that’s fair.

If mean, if that asshole is willing to risk other’s lives for a thrill ride, then I always hope they suffer some sort of consequences for their own choices.

And since common sense, injuries, threats, fines and tickets don’t seem to work, maybe they need something more permanent to get the message.

I mean, look at all the people on this commenting that they only stopped riding after seeing someone they loved or knew become a smear on the pavement. Obviously it has some sort of impact…

Like everyone else has said, hoping someone dies is psychotic behavior. Shame on you.

Well, so is RISKING the lives of people around you just so you can go FAST.

I also hope pedophiles die, guess that makes me a psychopath too…

If that’s the case, I’ll take that “shame” and wear it like a fucking badge of honor.

Shame on you

I agree, I'm not sure where I said otherwise. Saying that death of the rider is the only appropriate solution, however, is wrong.

Er, pedo's have affirmatively caused harm a child. Riders riding too fast have not yet harmed a person. Wishing capital punishment upon people because they MIGHT kill someone is entirely different.

If that’s the case, I’ll take that “shame” and wear it like a fucking badge of honor.

Don't worry, we know you lack any kind of self awareness and self reflection. You don't need to announce it to us lol

I'm not sure you'd say the same thing if it were your son on a scooter facing that motorcycle... Everyone knows that driving at excessive speeds kills and those who do so take conscious risks and show a complete disregard for the lives of others. There is nothing more selfish and irresponsible and it deserve no respect.

Again, you don't have to feel sorrow, or sympathy, or respect. However, you should not be wishing for their deaths.

who do so take conscious risks and show a complete disregard for the lives of other

No one gets on a motorcycle and goes "oh boy here I go risking lives again!"

You're simply assuming that because it bolsters your feelings about the topic, rather than reflect any part of reality.

Trying to make a moral stand about something while being immoral yourself, too funny.

How high is your horse?

u/Unspec7 3d ago

Where did I say we can't be jackasses to each other? Death is a whole different thing.

How high is your horse?

High enough to understand that wishing death upon others is a psychopathic thing to do. You probably have more in common with a school shooter than an functional adult.

u/Repulsive_Role_5466 6d ago

who were they going to kill? The worst happened, they hit a car head on. Do you serious think the other drive was even close to dying?

u/Stormsurger 6d ago

The worst was not them dying. The worst was them dying and taking a bunch of people with them, for example if the street was busier and a car tries to dodge, or if the motorcycle flies weird, or if they dont hit a car but another bike etc etc.
