Millionaire Crashes His 918 Spyder Into Crowd...
... Injuring 23, 3 critically including a child.
Say what you will, but if I were not injured, and a loved one was, I would be going to jail that day. Because I would kick the living shit out of this non-driving asshole! Some may try and throw out the, "But that's the risk of being a spectator." So be it. I'm still beating some ass! And if my CHILD is involved... Forget about it. Quote:

Horrible event! And those barricades were a joke!
"While the driver is a collector of cars, he doesn't appear to have the necessary skills to drive such cars with such velocity," the inquiry says. What's sad is this is most likely true for 99% of the people on the road regardless of what kind of car they drive.

If your child were involved, you should be reported to CPS for allowing them to watch a high speed car events with joke barricades.
It's an unfortunate event, but you really can't blame the driver completely. It was on a track that wasn't properly set up for spectators. You can see something like this coming as a spectator, which is why I wouldn't be one. |

i mean, it's not like the guy meant to do that, it was in a controlled environment, just because he wasn't as skilled as he probably should be to drive that car does not mean you should " kick the living shit out of him"

This was clearly not all on the driver and it was accident as you said. |

One thing is certain: money does not buy driving skill. Hell of a collection he's got.
I'm with you though, he'd be in critical condition also if that were my kid. He was certainly at fault for letting his wallet exceed his ability, but it's still not as bad as drunk drivers (in my opinion). |

that's like saying if you were at an amateur pond hockey games and some guy took a snapshot that hit your son in the head, would you beat him up? or if you're at a skip barber lime rock racing event and a female driver popped the clutch and ran somebody over... i am sure the driver thought he was doing everything in control and feels awful about the mistake |

In a portion of the video he nearly lost control around a turn, and then he laughed about it. He clearly thinks it's cute. It's not...
I would hope someone there could stop me. Because I probably could not stop myself in trying to get to the guy. But a much better option would be to sue his ass into oblivion!

Yes and my kids wouldn't be there. You act so hard...if you have anything to lose, which you do if you have a wife and kids, you can't go around beating people up or your ass will be in jail. Plus, maybe the guy you think you'd beat up would beat your ass in return?

I think I'd be more concerned with my child's well-being and getting them help.

Some of us will agree to disagree. Not gonna debate my actions and why they would happen. If you are NOT a parent. You wouldn't understand. Event sponsors deserve their wallets to be emptied as well. But driver is CLEARLY out of control and the magistrate ruled HE was the one at fault. As they should.

Love the no blame for you mentality. Not only are you not to blame for being in a no safety regulated private event, you believe you are well within your parental rights to assault someone who didn't do it on purpose. I guess you'd fight Lebron James if you had court side seats and he crashed into your kid and gave them a concussion? |

I don't "act anything". I simply stated what I would and will do. And I happen to know a thing or two about Civil and Criminal Law. I would be prepared to take my punishment. But that's me. You do you. There are talkers in this world and doers. Trust. I am the latter. Not many parents or humans for that matter would fault me or anyone for their actions against that asshole.

I'm sure your wife and kids wouldn't be "prepared to take your punishment" and wouldn't enjoy visiting dad in jail or in the hospital after getting beat up. If you know anything about law, you know it's stupid to assault someone in a situation like this. This is very different than someone committing a crime against your family or putting them in danger. You put them in danger by being there. The facility put them in danger by not being ready for the accident. And the driver has some fault too. But you're ultimately responsible for your kids' safety. |

Exactly. But who knows... Maybe he would. There is this phenomena known as "fight or flight". I also believe this can be applied to instances like this. Emotions are powerful either way. As a former cop, I've seen it all. Hopefully the families completely bankrupt his sorry ass and he gets imprisoned.
