So then you are advocating that he receive 5 negligent homicide charges as well?

I never said that. Don't put words in my mouth

Makes absolutely no sense in this case.

How is that not reckless operation?

If you think logically instead of emotionally, it makes complete sense.

please explain.

It's just a ticket.
And I'm sure the DA will drop it.

Apologies.
Obviously some discretion was used when charging him. I think the fact that they threw in a reckless operation ticket just rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
Most people feel they should do a toxicology report, and if he's clean let him be.

It's a ticket that never will end up in court. The DA will most likely drop any charges against this kid.

God comfort this young man and his remaining family.

Because it was his family, we should forget all the laws?

1. The headline the news chose makes it sound like they are going to throw the kid under the jail.
2. I think this is highly fricked up by the state police. I understand this is a standard ticket but how about we apply some fricking common sense to situations. Do we really need to shake a teen down over an accident that kills his parents?

Who would the state be providing justice to by doing that? His family? Doubt it. The community? Doesn't seem so. Who then?

Honestly he should probably be ticketed with failure to maintain control, but I guess falling asleep had something to do with it.

Not being "emotional" in this case is impossible I would think, for most. ... They just need to leave it alone. ... It was an unintentional, horrific accident. He fell asleep ... Unlike driving under the influence which is absolutely willful.

Are you arguing for the sake of argument?
If so, yes to your question. The DA's office can use discretion in this case.

So why would it be different if he was impaired?
