Drew (the driver) was 21 and his passengers were 20

 

What was his last name?

 

Bennette

 

Lets see... he had his license suspended, never stopped driving. He was driving a mid 90s s10 that was loud as hell, beat up to shit, and bedford city KNEW this vehicle and him (due to causing trouble in vehicles before and going to jail for robbing car washes) so they were GOING to pull him over if they saw him. Well, he got pulled over 2 days before he was going to get his license back and got a ticket of course. He continued to drive, and drove himself to court for this ticket, the license was suspended further, and as he drove away from the court house, the cop who wrote him the ticket before followed him then pulled him over on his way home from court. He told me if he got caught again, he was going back to jail... probably why he ran.

I had seen him do things to help people though and generally he just liked to laugh. In all honesty, he simply wanted to fit in and be "cool." He was 21, but I saw him as more of a kid. He was easily put up to things because he thought people would like him more, and mostly everything he did socially was driven by him wanting friends. In his defense, he had an extra female chromosome or something, and by his own words, made him have the mind of a ~14 year old female. He was on testosterone producing supplements because of this... he was a little slow. I don't think he was responsible enough to be driving in the first place.

I can build a case against him all day, but when it comes down to it, he died at a very young age. He wasn't out doing the whole car scene thing thinking "hey, this may hurt me or other people." I don't think he ever had bad intentions with it.

Exactly. It is sad, he's 21, and dead... like I've told other people shit talking, I've been faster than 115mph, been in wrecks, and know many people that have done dumber shit. Granted, I don't think I'd drive 115mph through a residential neighborhood endangering tons of people (this is the part that kills sympathy from lots of people) but I've never been facing jail time either. How many times has everyone on here done somethign in a car or on a bike that could have potentially killed them? It's a gamble everytime that everyone here has done it. Unfortunately, "drew" got a bad hand this time, and most everyone that's playing monday-morning quarterback was delt a better hand to begin with than he was.

 

Well said.

 

Just because you are delt a bad hand doesnt mean you have to bet anything.

Ill be the first to say I have done stupid shit. However I was also smart in doing stupid shit to where if something happened I was the only one who would get hurt/killed. It sucks he died but if people would use their head and think for a bit then this guy would still be alive. (and probably have a license)

This guy was delt a bad hand and went all in. That's just stupid.

 

I think you missed the forest because you're looking at the trees.

 

No, my point was that there is no excuse to repeated bad choices in driving.

I know what you were saying about him not being a bad guy and stuff like that. But, if you get burned by the same thing 7 or 8 times (or more) dont you think you would maybe learn not to try your luck anymore or change the way you live so you dont put yourself in that posistion?

RIP to the dude, and glad no one else was killed.

 

have some respect.

I was out of line by locking, but reopened and will let it slide. my apologies to those if they were offended, but I got a gut feeling this will end up bad.


continue on.

 

Thank you kindly sir.
