I don't know about you guys, but all that pic does is make me sick...and it makes me sicker to think of what kind of society we live in where people would actually laugh at these pics and say the guy got what he deserved. Nobody should have to die like that, and as much as I HATE thugs, and carjackers, I don't wish cruel and unusual deaths too them.

I hope you all think about yourselves as you're posting your smartass arrogant responses to this thread. Don't forget that we're all human, and if this guy was born into a rich family he could have been a much different person, not some poor street thug under a semi truck. Who are you to judge people you don't know, or take satisfaction in their painful deaths. If this guy was your brother, or your son, I'm sure you'd feel much differently.

Sorry, I disagree with this.

This thread DID put a smile to my face...... Normally I would think that this would be a deterrent to those who want to be carjackers & gangbangers.... In real life, things like this (like this sort of test/gang initiation) will continue.

1 less thug that I have to worry about that will harm innocent peeps/loved ones or myself... All in the name of "being in a gang" or "protecting turf" or whatever reason they have.

If this is the decision that they want to do at this point in their life, then there will be consequences.... I'm not the least bit sad, quite the opposite.

I have to agree with Chris, but for more reasons.

The sight of such an accident, someone being crushed, is not nice to see. It's the thought that there is one less peice of s4!t on the streets and that the idiot played himself. That is the really funny part.

So how hard is he now?

Real men stand on their own two feet, not with a gang.

So, imagine this guy has probably pulled off some other carjackings in his life, injuring or killing innocent people. Say 1 was your mother. How would you feel about this poor lil boy who wasnt born into wealth?

Nick,

i can appreciate what you are saying and to some small extent may share the same view as you, but please keep in mind:

I don't wish cruel and unusual deaths too them.
How much would you agree with this comment you just made if this same carjacker tried to steal a car from a loved one and actually killed them. Would you then also feel that they don't deserve to die. Be honest

and if this guy was born into a rich family he could have been a much different person,
I'm sorry, i really don't mean to be rude, but this comment is very ignorant. Are you trying to say that children of rich parents do not perform this kind of b/s. I really hope that's not what you're trying to say. I really don't want to get into a sociological discussion here, but if you believe that then you're living in some fantasy world. :roll:

Peace.

I don't really know how I'd feel, but I'm not a very vengeful person, sure I'd be glad if he was off the streets and couldn't do any more harm to anyone, and maybe I would under certain circumstances want him dead, but I don't think I would see this an appropriate death for anyone.

All I was trying to say was that if he had a different situation growing up, he might not be the person he was in that picture. Maybe I used a bad choice of words, but I was trying to point out the fact that he was born human just like the rest of us...thugs aren't born, they're raised. If a dog attacked you that you knew was trained to do so, would you blame the dog, or would you blame his owner? Sure there are exceptions, people who have enough free thought to avoid a life of crime regardless of their enviornment, but for the most part, it's the sad truth.

Sorry if I'm ruining the disturbing apparent comedic value of this thread by turning this into a moral debate :roll:

Well, we can debate this kind of thing for hours. Granted, it's somewhat sick to gloat over pictures like this...but the guy made his own choice. You make stupid choices like this, and shit happens. I have to agree with Chris C, Chris E and Karaki, among others. How many people did he injure or kill during his gang-bangin' days before checking out?

These gangs are one of society's cancers...sorry, but the bastard got what he deserved.

Nick O, I have worked in the inner city here in So Cal, I have worked with children who have to witness gang violence every day of their lives, I have attended funerlals for 5 year olds who have been caught up in gunfire, I have had to escort children in vans becuase they are too scared to walk down the streets they live on for fear of their lives. Don't think for a second that this guy would have thought twice about killing that truck driver, someone who was just out doing his job. Your right, life is a precious thing, but people that take human life for sport are not human in my opinion and do not get any of my sympathy. I am sick of these s.o.b's, so take a walk through the streets and listen to the gunfire and the lack of respect for human life that these animals have. This has nothing to do with the wealth or class that these people are born into, I have seen kids grow up into wonderful, successful, loving human beings that have come up off the same streets, living in the same poverty as these "thugs". People who havnt witnessed this first dont have a clue.

well, i for one kind of thought it was sickeningly funny... there was a really similar incident here this past summer...
some guy tried to cross whyte ave. (big party area) and got semitrucked...it was ****** gross, but interesting, cause you could see normal shaped head and shoulders, then the drop cloth just sunk down in his midsection where the tires hit, then his hips and legs were normal.



and for those of you who want to see it... my very own "owned" pic!

Toyman, all those points you made were very good ones. Sorry if I've been being a jerk...I guess the reason I feel the way I do is because about 8 years ago, one of my older brothers (a truck driver), got crushed and killed by a forklift accidently at his job. when I look at these pics it's hard to feel pleasure in the thug's crushed corpse because it reminds me of how my brother died, and for everyone else to be laughing at him....I don't know why but for some reason it feels like you're all laughing at my brother. When my brother, a hardworking father of 3 gets crushed, everyone's sad and horrified by the way he died, but when a street thug dies the same death, you all laugh and say he deserved it. He didn't deserve it, my brother didn't deserve it, and nobody should deserve it end of story. When you're dead, you're no different than the next dead guy.

Sorry for polluting this topic with my ignorant opinions. :roll:

we didnt mean to make fun of your brother, but im sure your brother didnt go around randomly causing violence and mayhem upon innocent persons.

im sorry to hear about what happened to him, and im sure he was a fine person, but i somehow doubt that thug was similar to him in any way, besides being human.

Nick O and Toyman,
I can understand both of your opinions. I think you both have valid points,
especially Nick. A person who victimizes others (his choice) shouldn't be pitied but he didn't deserve to die. No one does really. Death is the absolute end and shouldn't be made fun of. Not to say that there isn't some dark humor in the situation but for any of you to dismiss his life is incredibly arrogant. You're not God or any equivalant. It is a fact that poorer people are more likely to commit these type of crimes but not all do. I grew up extremely poor but I've never been arrested and I've never done drugs. I credit this to my own personal characteristics as well as my mother trying to always live in a somewhat good area even though money was very tight. I know and have spent time with kids that are even less poor than was but live in worse areas and even though they are bright and intelligent there is a REAL lack of opportunities for them compared to others. Imagine growing up and having half the houses on your block boarded up or torn down. It's pretty depressing. It's not enough to just be born, you have to learn to be a good person. And most people are a product of their environments. Instead of wishing death on someone who has done wrong, try and put your energy into preventing someone else from becoming a similar person in the first place.

Just my thoughts,

Birth, Death. What's in the middle is life and the choices you choose to make affect that. This guy CHOSE to try to jack a moving truck, and cause and effect kick in, this guy's gone. I think that most of us forget that everyday you take a chance just by leaving the house. You don't think that going to work, school, etc could be the last thing you do. You don't give second thought to the fact that there could be a semi bumper with your name on it. Life is precious, and you only go through it once. Take chances like this guy, risk getting hurt.

How about an eye for an eye??? He put himself in that position, what if HE dragged the truck driver out and he got run over, do you think he would of cared, let alone stop and help. I think not, I dont care if you're rich or poor if you choose that " lifestyle " you get what you deserve.
Just my 1.5 cents
