The phrasing car accident technically applies to any incident involving a car crashing into a person/structure/car. The phrase "accident" in reference to a car, can be intentional or unintentional.



Says who?

I have read stories about programs for people who caused fatalities while driving under the influence.  They aren't allowed to use the word "accident" when discussing their incident, because it connotes that they didn't do anything wrong. They can say "crash" or "collision".

Calling it an accident when iit was the result of a selfish or evil decision is just wrong.
Have some patience, FFS.

Calling this an accident or crash is just plain stupid.

There is a difference between a "legal definition" and common definitions. Programs regarding people who killed someone during a DUI are designed to make them take ownership. Accident takes away from that ownership.

But the legal definition would still refer to that as a car accident. You are free to check the internet for legal definitions of "car accident," you'll find that it is a more general phrase, than how many will view it.

Agreed. Still doesn't mean there was some narrative or agenda, rather just stupidity in word choice.

Not defending the word choice at all. Just attacking the idea of it being part of some agenda and narrative shift.

This applies to a person who has been involved with a personal injury caused by a negligent driver as well.  To call it an accident connotes an impression that a plaintiff doesn't want to give so the plaintiff should avoid using the word accident and call it an incident as well.

The editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel saw fit to dump the story already from the front page of the paper this morning even though another person died (a child) and the perp made his first court appearance yesterday.

And there was no front page pick of the guy, either.  The pic that was inside was literally the size of a quarter.  To deny there was a clear agenda because of who the perp was is insane.

The first line is stoopid and has nothing to do with the subject ... although I do know from all the COVID-19 threads that you firmly believe that all people, women and men, have total choice over what to do with their own bodies.

The rest is just roQQ3et blather and AON talking points. Nobody defunded the police.

CountryRoads, you seem like a reasonable dude but I'm concerned that a few of the points you're making are also being made by the Q Believers on the internet around this being the first attack of the new civil war. I hope you're not falling down that rabbit hole.

Are you currently in that rabbit hole??  Genuinely curious as to why you pay so close attention to the Q stuff?

Black people in the big cities (and small towns) love that when they mention BLM, the immediate response is ALM. They love it and don't think it's racist at all! roQQet should try it out.

This is some headline.  Wondering what the SUV will be charged with?

Wow. Headline makes it seem like a driverless SUV malfunctioned.

I want to be clear, I am in no way suggesting this wasn't intentional. Whether it was weeks ago or moments before impact, this walking garbage made a decision to run over those people. He should be locked up until God comes for him. I was just asking if there has been any video released that supports the officer's testimony. I haven't seen anything that leads me to think that this was a terrorist attack but if what the officer is saying is true, that would likely change my thinking.

I don't think I've seen any footage of the dancing grannies getting hit, so we don't have full video of the attack. But with that many witnesses, why would they lie on the complaint?

The suspect had previously posted on social media that he wanted to knock out a bunch of old white people. Maybe the dancing grannies were the target the whole time? It has also come out that the guy had previous conviction for threatening to blow up a las vegas casino.

I really don't think this was a spur of the moment decision. It seems far more likely to me that the Rittenhouse verdict caused this guy to finally snap and try to fulfill his wish of knocking out a bunch of old white people.

I guess we will see. I mean if his goal was to make that sort of statement, wouldn't of he said something?  Not much use in terrorizing if you don't back up what you do with saying why you did it.

He probably wasn't anticipating the media treating it like an accident. Or possibly he did it for his own pleasure rather than some broad political statement.

Question:

If a white guy who was all over social media attacking black people, the BLM movement and the guilty verdict for the three murderers in Georgia drove an SUV into a parade in a black community and killed a bunch of black people would anyone on Scoop or in the general population need an admission from the killer to believe that race was a motive?

I know I wouldn't.


MU82

It looks like race was a motive. That makes a heinous crime even more heinous.

It was not an "accident" or a "crash." It was an evil, hate-filled act of extreme violence.
