The termally stupid are always with us. The problem is sometimes they speak to reporters.

 

It was a bit of a freak accident, there was a reasonable chance that the drunk driver would have hit that pole regardless of whether any one was chasing him.

In the final analysis, it is the fault of the grandmother anyway. 

If she had brought up her children to respect the law, and for and ensured they instilled respect  for the law into their children in turn, the wannabe Stirling Moss would still be alive.

You got the wrong grandma LB - this grandson was walking down the footpath and the police car hit the pole and it fell on him.  She should have taught him to run from trouble instead of goggling at it.

While I'm very sorry for the injuries the boy sustained, if we followed grandma's advice and banned pursuits, would that lower the risk of innocent people being injured? 

 

It makes me wonder if the child was injured and the police weren't pursuing the car, wouldn't she then be jumping up and down demanding to know why there were no police around.

 

You oh so can't win!

god people drive me demented!  oh yes, let's just let the lowlife scum know that all they need to do to get away from the police is drive erratically or too fast.  FFS... if i had my way anybody who failed to stop would be tasered in their balls. 

*giggles*  What a brilliant idea - quick fried scrotum.  Guaranteed not to breed any more spawn.

 

Actually, the thought flitted across my mind when I read that - what if it is a woman driving?

Don't know LB.  We are cunningly designed in such a way to prevent that.  But being as there are women who are just as feral if not more so then men out there we need to work on that.
