Reply to comment by fckyaselves in Family, friends mourn 2 killed in Cranston dirt bike crash by Addicted2GravyTears

They were grown adults, who decided it was a good idea to speed down a busy city street in the dark, on an unregistered, not legal dirt bike with no lights, swerving into oncoming lanes. ...win stupid prizes.

After knowing this has been a major issue and city scourge for a while now. They made a decision to be unlawful dangerous jerks. And this is the consequences.

“Grown adults” passenger graduates high school last summer. You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

One of them made the decision to drive recklessly, the other was a passenger. None of the reports I watched or read said anything about swerving, where did you see or learn that detail? Seems like you’re making a lot of assumptions to justify why you are happy these kids died.

Do you think the passenger was put on the back of an unregistered, not street legal dirt bike with no lights, at night on a busy city street against their will? They chose to go for that ride. Too bad. Look out for that. I'm not happy 2 people died, but I also don't give a fuck that they did. Period.

You keep trying to defend these two people, why? I agree they didn’t deserve to die, but their actions have consequences and these results aren’t surprising. What are you actually defending? Why are you against everyone in here? What’s its value to you? How can you not see that these men made their own bed and laid in it themselves? How are they the victim?

One of the WJAR articles mentions that witnesses saw the bike driving at oncoming traffic.

Hold on. That’s it? That’s the ONLY bad decision and only one of them made it?

How wrong you are.

Normal, responsible person’s decision making, and I mean at age 18. Heck a lot of 16 year old kids have thought of some of these questions going for a driver’s permit at even age 15. ..

Should I buy a dirt bike? Can I afford the insurance? Do I have access to a pickup or a car with a trailer? Where can I ride it legally? If I can’t ride it in the street legally should I buy it? Do I own a helmet? Do I own two helmets? Should I ask my friend to ride with me? Should I ride it uninsured and not registered on the street? Above the speed limit? Passing cars at Broad and Norwood? Without a headlight in the dark?

And the friend. Should I get on anyway???
