But according to Bill, collateral damage is just "part of the game."
Because it is a game to him. A mere YouTube clip. Another "bad guy" who is no longer on this earth and Bill doesn't have to contend with him.
Just the way he likes it. Another dead no name. Time to make the donuts and sip my Unicorn Frappacino from Starbucks, feeling nothing for a pixilated biker who was, and I want to be clear,
HELMETLESS AND THE COP KNEW THIS,
Issuing him a certain death sentence, right in the path of a car with innocent civilians.....
Give the guy a badge of honor and as for John Doe who is a criminal of the highest order for running from a cop (probably because he had some weed on him), well see ya wouldn't want to be ya.
What man here wants to live and think this way? Stand up! 5 posters here do. And they are PROUD of that mindset.
If you are standing, good luck with a wife and kids. You'll have a lot of trouble relating/raising/showing compassion with an attitude like this. You simply won't be able to manage these relationships properly with attitudes like this. I can assure you. I've seen it a million times.
You capatalize him being without a helmet so that's of importance to you. It wouldn't matter if he was wearing his Sunday school dress to me. I have no compassion for criminals.
Did I say give the cop a badge of honor for it? Absolutely not, but I'm not going to condemn him for it either. It was a judgement call on his end whether to proceed with the chase. I don't believe this cop went out and killed this guy in cold blood. Maybe the adrenaline got to him and it went to far, but it was in no way an intentional murder like you're making it out to be. Negligence, maybe.
Just the way I like it, I'm indifferent to it. I can, with 100 percent certainty, say I could care less if he lived or died. You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. That decision of him to run was purely on him and no one else.
You don't run like that for a little weed or a $300 ticket and if you do, then he's dumber then I thought and nature took its course. I don't like setting a precedence of allowing the criminal element to just run because he really really really doesn't want a $300 ticket. If it was just a little weed, he wouldn't have even gone to jail for it. It's the south and he was a good ole boy, what's going to happen to him if that's all it was?
I have 3 kids ranging from 14 to 4. If they're grown and they make the same decision to kill themselves over a little weed like you think this is over. I will feel sad for them, but it's because they wasted their life over something so trivial and I obviously failed at teaching them to take responsibility for their actions. Am I going to condemn the cops for killing my boy? No it's necessary to maintain law and order, I don't want to live in an uncivilized world. I want to feel safe with the little time we have on this earth, so to give into criminals is a little insane to me.
I've had no issues maintaining relationships in my 36 years on this planet. Do I make everyone's life around me better, maybe;maybe not, but I can say with certainty I make no ones life around me worse.
