Stupid Media Question of the Day
A pair of Mexicans in a car accident in Illinois ran off, leaving dead and critically injured children behind. A puzzledDaily Heraldwants to know:

How could they flee when five others in their car were lying on the ground so seriously hurt?

Could it be they're in the country illegally, and don't want all the trouble of having to sneak back in again after they're deported? Might they have figured that it would be most convenient to let American taxpayers deal with their dead and injured children, as with all their other healthcare issues?

Nah. They must have been worried the racist cops would profile and oppress them.

mvscal?

I don't see anywhere in the report that the driver (and other passenger) was Mexican. Or illegal.

I think I know why:

A pair of Mexicans in a car accident in Illinois ran off, ...one of them screaming " Long live the Marxist revolution!!!!

Nice try at blowing a little smoke into the investigation, Marty.

So far, you've proven nothing.

Police on Sunday were still searching for the driver of the ill-fated 2003 Ford Expedition and another passenger.

"There could be a million and one reasons," said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Leo Richard. But police are reluctant at this point to speculate. "We may not even put our finger on the one (reason), if we started naming them. That's why we're investigating."

But he still was disturbed by the act.

"I'm always shocked when you have victims, and (some people don't) do what they can for them," Richard said.

At about 8:45 p.m., a Lincoln Town Car driven by Kevin Cooke of Carpentersville was cut off by a white van in the far left eastbound lane of I-90.

Cooke told the Daily Herald Saturday that he tried to avoid hitting other cars and swerved the Lincoln onto the shoulder of the tollway. But Cooke said the shoulder's soft dirt surface made the Lincoln slide sideways and he hit the rear of the 2003 Ford Expedition.

The Expedition, he said, swerved back and forth, then violently turned sideways and flipped, rolling over several times and sending children in the vehicle out the side window.

Two of the seven passengers in the Expedition, 5-year-old Luis Cabrales of Elgin, and 67-year-old Maria Guadarrama (confirmed beaners) of Mexico, were pronounced dead at Sherman Hospital in Elgin.

Another passenger, a 6-year-old, was taken by air to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in critical condition, according to state police.


...well lets add this up for ya Marty....7 passengers (your first clue) in the Expedition...2 of the 7 passengers beaners...1 six year old (unidentified) taken to hospital....the dead 5 year old was a beaner so we will assume that the 6 year old was as well....you staying with me so far? 3 of the 7 occupants were beaners= 2 beaners headed for the border, and 2 beaners in the expedition unaccounted for...make sense?

I'm sorry, was I re-directed to a different link to that story than you?
I didn't catch that detail.

...and I was so careful in laying out the logic for you. Just trust me on this one.

I know that I, personally, enjoy those weekends when I can get away, steal or borrow someones car and drive a gaggle of mexicans I don't know around town in search of a way to get them killed so I can enjoy the thrill of running away from the scene of an accident.

Marty does hav a a point on the proof thingie...

Now if the accident vehicle had been doing 90 and going the wrong direction on the highway, that would be proof positive.

Marty does hav a a point on the proof thingie...

and yet, he has determined who will be the winner of the presidential election already.

Ever wonder how many folks have gotten themselves dead over the last decade or two, thanks to our ridiculous love affair with SUVs.

How can anyone with three braincells to rub together think that these top heavy pieces of shit are actually safer than a regular car.

Sealt belt usage might be a factor here.

Sorry, Mayheeko. We're full. We don't need anymore busboys, lettuce pickers, rapists, murderers, child molesters, thieves or disease fouled welfare sponges.

I'd prefer the previously mentioned electric fence and setting up an afternoon of Messican zapping for the fam as has been previously discussed on the board.

If you roll it over, it's your own damn fault. I've driven a Blazer for the last 4 years through every kind of weather and traffic situation possible and never once have my wheels left the ground. Oh, and in a head on collision, I'd take my chances with a Blazer over a Prius 10 out of 10 times. But yea, if you try to corner in an SUV like you would in a sports car, you're going to wind up in a rollover situation.

I drive a GMC Jimmy and have driven a Jeep Cherokee for years. When it's windy, on bridges and stuff, whew.

I can see where an SUV would roll over in certain types of collisions due to it's top heaviness. Nothing in life is free and it all boils down to trade-offs. If you need or want the security and utility of an SUV, you've protected yoruself from some types of accident consequence and yet opened the door to others. If you choose to drive a sedan, a sports car, a scooter, a motorcycle - there's a cost and benefit for each of those choices.

Demonizing SUV's has been one of the most comedic exercises in the past several years.

That's the problem, though. You get dumbfuck soccer moms driving a truck and thinking they're in a sports car.

Just low hanging fruit for Chuck Darwin. Nothing more or less.

What's really funny is that SUV owners who can't afford to fill up the tank anymore are crying the blues because their value has depreciated to the point where they can't get out from under them.

And some are committing fraud by lighting them on fire, reporting the car stolen and trying to get the insurance money.

Wow, 4 years? I guess SUVs are the safest thing going, then.

If you drive at normal highway speeds in an SUV you are risking a rollover if some assbag cuts you off or you experience a blowout.

Yeah, in a head on collision, you will trump that prius thanks to the extra weight, but, overall, you'd be safer in a decent size normal car as your likelyhood of rolling it is much lower. And rollovers, statistically speaking tend to be bad news for the fukkers inside, even if they are belted in.

What's really funny is that California home owners who can't afford to pay their mortgage anymore are crying the blues because their value has depreciated to the point where they can't get out from under them.

Keep your tires properly inflated and your risk of a blowout is practically nil. But if some assbag (like you) decided to cut me off, he's going to get run into. Why risk serious injury in a roll-over just to spare some prius driving dumbfuck from one of life's important lessons?

Either my browser cache is full, or my computer has blown another vacuum tube, but I don't see any "moonbat" references in your post, Cuda.

Oh, very well, Marty...

Here's a decoration you're likely to see on B-Monica's suv in the near future




happy?

They are if you're not a complete dumbfuck who doesn't understand the limitations of their ride.

Same as with any other vehicle. The only difference is that with an SUV, the speed at which a rollover becomes more likely is lower than that of your average 4 door family sedan. If one adjusts their speed accordingly, the risk is no more or less than any other vehicle.

The safest car is the one being driven by the accident free driver. Tell me you knew?
