Lunchbox is probably perplexed as to why ppl are found "not guilty" instead of "innocent" since everyone is presumed to be innocent in the good ole U. S. of A.

I'd love to hear how you came to that conclusion.

Seriously admins? Can I at least get a warning? It's not like I'm alone here.

Another lunchbox tactic to add to the mix. Say something that doesn't make sense, wait for people to call you on it, then make them write a novella to explain why you are wrong, then make fun of them for calling you on it. This kind of fun could go on forever.

Also, condemn people for repeatedly asking the same question despite never making an honest attempt to answer it or explain why it's an invalid question.

Not sure why he would be given the benefit of the doubt as to innocent intentions. There's a huge gap from completely innocent to murder.



Perception is greater than reality, the average American certainly proves this to be true. There's really nothing he can do to prove to some people he didn't have ill will, even though there's really nothing to prove that he did.

Perception, interpretation. Two people can look at exactly the same thing and have totally different conclusions.

I would encourage those on both sides of this argument to read the article linked from Road and Track.com by Steven Cole Smith.

Form the article:
quote:

The idea that he accelerated trying to hit Ward is beyond the pale.
Why, exactly?
quote:

The idea that any driver would purposely hit another over what was a comparatively minor, “that’s racing” incident is hard to swallow. That Tony Stewart would be the one to do it on purpose? That is unthinkable.
Why is it unthinkable?
His support for those declarations seems to be that he is friends with Tony and that Tony is a nice guy. If he's a nice guy, he's a nice guy that is proven to lose his temper during races.

Because you would be saying that Stewart intentionally killed someone because they flipped him off.

It's a good article about tony but it seems to focus on ppl that think tony would intentionally run over another driver. Ppl that actually believe that have to be few and far between.

I just watched the video. And I don't know what that guy was thinking. He was stepping farther and farther into danger. This is an overall terrible incident. And it could have been easily avoided

Yeah. The biggest think to take away from this isn't whether Tony Stewart did it on purpose or not, but that the other guy was a total idiot. He did something incredibly reckless and lost his life because of it.

If I go into the hood and get shot, sure the other guy is guilty, but everyone would be ridiculing my arse for not knowing better than to stir shite up in the hood as a white boy.

There is a certain level of common sense people should have about not putting themselves in certain situations. Running out into the middle of a dirt race track at night with cars going 80+ mph is one of the situations intelligent people would avoid.

So you watched the video and came to the conclusion that Tony didn't see the guy walking at his car pointing an accusatory finger at him?

Most logical explanation, considering the circumstances.

Stewart not seeing him until it was too late is more logical than Stewart intentionally running him over because he got flipped off.

Absolutely. When you consider the position of the two vehicles and the victim, it's the most natural explanation.
