Wow. That kid did everything wrong. Stole a car, got stopped, trapped a cop in the car and dragged another one as he fled the stop.

Condolences to his family.

They're "outraged," which means they want a payout, condolences rescinded.

Bonfire of the Vanities (the movie) was a documentary is my favorite ref for this.

I love every actor in this movie, why have I never heard of it?

It's famously one of the worst movies that all who were involved ever made. There's a podcast and a book about how disastrous the movie was, both called "The Devil's Candy." I recommend the original book, the book about the movie, and the podcast.

Perhaps the parents will be held somewhat monetarily responsible? If the women whose home was crashed into civilly sues the deceased kids family, then perhaps you get a different outlook from the deceased kids parents, as they will be held responsible for their child’s reckless actions. Some kids have behavioral issues that are hard for ANY parent to handle but this sounds like a case of bad environmental influences. My parents would have perhaps killed me themselves, if I ever stole someone’s else car.

I have empathy for parents dealing with difficult children. I do not have empathy for parents who do not raise their children, there child endangers their own life and others, and then the parents want some type of community outcry?

You can't rescind someone else's condolences. That's not how that works.

Condolences? This kid was a product of his upbringing.

They're insinuating it's racist to assume a 17 year old boy who spends his time stealing cars and wrecking said cars into homes with police officers hanging off the side didn't receive proper parenting. How it's racist, I'm not sure; if anything they're telling on themselves...

I’m pretty sure they don’t even know anymore but they’re quite smug about it

I grew up in NW, not the worse area, but definitely places to avoid. I hate to see fellow young black Washingtonians getting caught up in the wrong crowd and committing unnecessary crimes that end up with them dead or in jail.

I don’t know how anyone can blame anyone but him for the result of this.
