Knowing entirely too little... I don't wish to be harsh. But ****, he had to be going FAST when he hit that embankment... all to avoid, what, living in a jail cell overnight and a court date and the stigma of being caught and such like that?

Yeah, good trade off, man, you won that hands down.

I agree...****! Even running from the cops, I don't know that I'd go that fast through a parking lot. It's good that he was the only one that died...But you weren't there, and don't know his reasons. It may not have mattered to him whether he lived or died. And you shouldn't judge unless you've been there. But agreed...Most sad about the Cobra. It deserved better...

I did not need to be there to know he was a moron and could of killed people. He got what he asked for and everyone around him was lucky he didnt kill them. I do not need to know why a person fires a gun into the air to know its a bad idea.

Sad ending for the Cobra, but a positive in the fact that the car was fast enough to kill him and not leave him hanging on in a hospital bed for the next 20 years while the taxpayers pick up the bill.


RIP, Cobra.

Adrian answered it before I did.

Oh, yes, I can and will judge idiocy, regardless of my being there, and I'm a harsh judge and jury. This was idiocy, and he's now the deader for it. Glad he's the only one, sad he couldn't not be an idiot.

And yes, that includes not being able to secure a car from a 'runaway' throttle. I can shut down **ANY** car in that scenario in 1.5 seconds or less. There's no way I'd be able to launch it like this.

Maybe he was pissed because he was looking for a Chotchkie's.

Drunk and license revoked. Glad he's gone and glad he didn't take anyone with him.
