        Literally every single time you don’t intend to murder someone.

        What a dumbass question.

            When rockets take people to space then we do care where they come down, and that’s strategically decided to avoid killing people. If you mean rockets with explosives attached that are designed with the intent to kill people, then your comparison is equally as dumb as your first one.

            Again a ridiculous argument. One is literally intended to kill someone, the other is a means of transportation. I’m not a fan of cars either but if you actually want to get people on board with the cause equating anyone who drives with Wernher Von Braun is a bad move.

              Rockets don’t exist purely to kill people.

              In fact, they are a mode of transit! Can you get a man to the moon in a car?

              tone policing from someone who will obviously never be an ally

              Cool story.

                The rockets you were referencing were never a means of transport, only a long distance weapon used by Nazis. And apparently I’m not an ally because I don’t think literally everyone who drives is as bad as a Nazi war scientist who made some of the Nazis deadliest weapons? Are literally just a troll to make this sub look bad?

    Wtf?

    • Premeditated Intent: Murder
    • Intent without premeditation. Heat of the moment: 2nd degree Murder
    • Doing something you weren’t supposed to and killing someone: involuntary homicide
    • Failing to do something you were supposed to and killing someone: negligent manslaughter.

    Who made this meme (and topic) and why is everyone so ignorant of the law? This almost certainly is vehicular manslaughter case or… If it can be suggested that it’s the pedestrian maybe was partially at fault it might be negligent manslaughter (ex: failed to stop when someone jumped out).

      You can kill someone with a gun and have it be called an accident. You can also intentionally run someone down with your vehicle and have it be called vehicular homicide.

      We can say “fuck cars” without false equivalencies.

        It collided with the environment, so yes.

        My brother unintentionally incinerated himself when he put his car into a tree sideways, I don’t consider it an accident.

        If it collided with something that caused it then sure, but it could also just be called a rollover. The whole point is to avoid the word accident as it implies no fault when the fault lies between the drivers and the road design/ rules.
