How do you figure? You can mourn anyone who passes on for any reason.

It's a stupid reason for anyone to lose their life... I'm glad no one else was hurt or killed, but he didn't deserve to die over a simple mistake that anyone could make in a split second. He was obviously already doing a high speed pass, so his adrenaline was already off the charts... What do you think can happen if you're already full of adrenaline, flying down the road, and a police officer chases you? You have .00005 seconds to decide to pull over to run, and most people will continue running once they start and usually don't stop until they either get away, get caught, or get hurt. It's unfortunate... and it wasn't worth it, but hindsight is 20/20.

There was a local guy that was killed in a similar accident a few years ago, with a few exceptions. He was a minister at a church, and he was in a truck... He came up on a road block and had consumed a few drinks, so he panicked. He eluded for about 15 minutes before he lost control and hit a pole, killing himself instantly. Good people make mistakes too you know.

 

shut up. why the hell CAN'T you mourn for someone dieing... you may have thought his actions to be stupid, I know I don't think it is wise to run from the police, but I still regret that he died doing it, and feel for his family and friends. Just because someone dies being irresponsible does NOT make him a bad person, any less of a human being, nor mean you cannot mourn the loss of life.

edit: Zero Cool you beat me to the punch

 

R.I.P. :[

 

R.I.P. we have all made stupid decisions in our life that might have endangered ourself or others, that doesnt mean we should pay the ultimate price. Im sure he was a normal person that just made a bad split second decision and didnt intend on hurting anyone. Hopefully people will learn from his mistake.

 

RIP Ricky. you will be missed.

the death toll on motorcycles around here is getting rediculous. i ran out of fingers and toes counting how many friends i've lost due to motorcycle crashes over the years.

 

Maybe thats a hint, that motorcycles are just not *practically* safe, and with new technology making them faster and faster, they are just going to get more and more dangerous.

 

Dangerous if you cant control yourself while your riding it I guess

 

you're a fucking idiot

 

Im an idiot thats alive

 

Why don't all of you guys have a lil respect!!! This was a friend of mine!!! Yeah he made a dumb choice to run... But what you guys don't know is the fact that the trooper didn't need to continue chasing him their was a chopper right above his head... This is bullshit and I really don't want to hear you guys bashing my friend... He made a mistake and it cost him his life...NOW SHOW A LIL FUCKING RESPECT HIS MOM IS NOW SUCK WITH ALL THE BILLS... And the fact his dead don't be dicks for once
