First off, your question is framed in a very negative and argumentative
fashion. So, you should not be surprised that the replies received are in
kind.
In later posts (now seven pages long) you assert through your statements
that the driver knowingly and with malice of forethought went “...plowing down
the bikers” as if with intent of doing as much harm as possible. I, (as others
who have answered you) flatly refute this point of view.
I'm of the opinion that he was trying to comply with the rules of the road
and stopped accordingly. I'm confident he would have remained stationary had not
the bikers attacked. He may not have known his right front tire had been
slashed. But, within a split second of the passenger side window being smashed
his "fight or flight" instincts kicked into overdrive and thus his right foot
went down, HARD. I do not believe he was consciously aware of who or what was
near the vehicle and therefore the damages caused by his actions were
involuntary.
It seams not satisfied with the response to you first question you continue
to ask new ones. Each appearing to mitigate the guilt of the motorcyclists while
shifting blame to others, like where were the cops?
Well, a search of the most recent news stories shows that at least one of
them was an undercover narc. So it's obvious why his information has been slow
to come out. As for the others well, the police are investigating and they're
going to be very careful what and when information is released. I'm curious as
to the 911 calls. I've read there may have been as many as six from the victim's
SUV alone.
Now, as to your latest hypothetical scenario re rape victim was former
stripper. I have first hand knowledge of a case where a young teen died due to a
city's negligence. What should have been a slam dunk multi million dollar
settlement ended up being a very low 5 figure number. Why? Because the city's
lawyers put the family on trial. Proving they were a burden on society wasn't
enough they then proceeded to crucify the dead teen. Using stats from who knows
where they convinced the judge that the teen would have grown up to be a
criminal.
Sorry, but your rape victim would have got screwed twice. Once by the perp
and then by the justice system.
