So, Tony Stewart killed a guy today

[Gimp]

Not sure if anyone follows Nascar at all, but Tony Stewart killed a guy on a dirt track race today. Video is online (for now).

Pretty graphic btw.

[quido]

yikes

[Deridin]

Well whatever the dude's problem was he pretty much supported what South Park said about them being stupid by going onto the track.,,

Looks like he sped up rather than hitting the brakes, what a dick.

Also, Murica etc...

Not going to claim that I'm an expert at car racing but everything I'm reading says that on a dirt track with those specific types of cars, revving up the engine will jerk your car left so his speeding up was very likely Stewart's conscious effort to NOT hit the moron walking in the middle of the race track.

[freez]

who the fuck can tell?

now i have to research a real cut where some ****** doesnt post a fat greed ad in the middle of the murder.

[freez]

green*

[Herp]

What really happened:

He knew he caused kid to crash by turning high but felt it was the kids' fault not his. When he saw the kid outside on the track QQing, he tried to scare the kid by driving close, revving engine, etc. He accidentally hit him as a result.

At the end of the day, 2 wrongs do NOT make a right. Also, he probably won't be found guilty by law, but he is guilty by court of public opinion. He can rot in hell for all I care.


Guilty to me.

[freez]

who cares


you deserve to die if yo want to step out in that ring pal


are u fucking kidding me?


LOL

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

He shouldn't of laced up his gloves.

[freez]

you dont step out in a circuit of midget cars on dirt going 90-120 mph unless you want to die.



rip but the dead man was a raging moron.

[baakss]

Looks like he tried to scare him and got too close. Ouch.

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

Scared him to death. :cool:

[freez]

10 years for tony


and the retard that stepped out can enjoy the grave



rip retard

[FoxxHound]

huehuehue

[Herp]

He was just trying to tell Stewart that he almost killed him earlier.

[Visual]

maybe he should have put a little pep in his step instead of playing crosswalk guard?

[Nuktari]

If you're stupid enough to walk into the path of speeding vehicles, you kinda deserve to get hit by one.

Sure as fuck aint no Disneyland Teacup ride, homie.

[freez]

natural selection at its finest

[SyanideGas]

Holy shit

[DarkwingDuck]

The fucking idiot should have stayed off the track. Wanna be a fuckin loser? The die for it.
Survival of the fittest

[Rhambuk]

Still boring as hell to watch

[Estolcles]

It's still gonna kill Stewart's career. Sadly.

*Is a Tony Stewart fan*

[Gaffin 7.0]

not gonna be good in court though lol yikes

[Tasslehofp99]

damn the way his body landed was so nasty...ugh

[Champion_Standing]

He probably should have stayed in the car, but why did nobody else have a problem avoiding him? The race doesn't keep going when there is car spun around in the middle of the track you know.

Death penalty for tony stewart

rubbing is racing

The race does keep going, under caution, so they are going 30-40 mph still around the track. Tony started to try and get low, but you have to steer with the accelerator with the way that you have your car set up on a pitched dirt track - pushing the gas uses the weight of the car to move down the track, etc.

shut up bda scumbag defender of murderers

[Fael]

This presents a very interesting legal problem. Whatever it was that tony did, the question is did it create a reasonable certainty that that kid would be seriously injured. That is enough for murder in most states. Probably just get him for wreckless homicide, or maybe nothing.

On a side note, if tony reved his engines to scare him, then that intent would be imputed for purposes of committing battery and wrongful death, with some nice punative damages.
Tony is going to owe that dumb ass red neck's family big chunk of change. Sadly it'll be gone in one generation or less.

Tony Stewart isn't going to get in any trouble for this. The worst case scenario for him is that he looses sponsors. He may end up paying a big settlement in civil court, but don't count on him being convicted of a crime.

[Red_Psyphon]

tony is fine, Darwinism took the kid out for running around in black on a dirt track (poor lighting)midrace. Revving up to turn/swerve is how those cars work. Literally he wasn't mad that some kid wrecked. The kid was mad and had something to prove but went about it all wrong. Also I live a few minutes from there and know that track fairly well.

Tldr: terrible accident but is the victims fault. Rip

[Fael]

I'm no expert. But it looked to me that he was being reckless with his vehicle.
I think many others on this board agree. So I would say speak for yourself.

There is no doubt that he will pay millions on a civil suit.

Dolic

[Red_Psyphon]

its you who needs to speak for themself

[fullmetalcoxman]

A couple of the other cars almost hit him when he was walking out, I can't believe the dude kept coming after those near misses.

[Red_Psyphon]

yes he did the guy went "full retard" and put himself and others directly in danger and got killed. Tony has to live with the guilt of this accident as well its a shame people bias their decisions on past actions. This race was nothing to nascar racers and is something tony does to keep his driving up between real races. RIP ward

[Tenlaar]

What the fuck are some of you smoking? The only reckless or purposeful actions here are the dumbass getting out of his car and running over to stand in front of a moving vehicle during a race.

[Swish]

Maybe media pressure will retire him from racing altogether if he gets off lightly.

[Sidelle]

I doubt that Tony Stewart even saw him until literally the last second, if at all. Dark clothing plus view possibly being blocked by the car right in front of him that also had to swerve as they were coming out of that curve.

That was really dumb. Sorry he died but it was his own fault.

[myriverse]

My opinion of car racers is already fairly low, but I really can't see fault in Tony Stewart. I don't get walking into the track like that, unless you want suicide.

[Nietche]

If you're stupid enough to walk into the path of speeding vehicles, you kinda deserve to get hit by one.

[nyclin]

Tony might have been able to do something to avoid the kid, but that doesn't excuse walking into the middle of the racing line on a track with an event in session. This is a sad event for everyone involved.

I'm not a big fan of Tony Stewart or NASCAR in general but given the dim track lighting, and the way these cars turn (they don't, unless power is being applied), I don't think he did anything wrong. Kid should have stayed in his car and saved his raging for the pits.

[iruinedyourday]

Loling at how dedicated rednecks are to their heros ;) merica!!!

[Skinned]

They should hang up a sign telling people not to walk onto the racing track. Must be the venue's fault.

[Fael]

Sure the guy put himself in harms way. But that doesn't matter.

He put himself near Tony's car. It sure as hell seems to me that Tony caused the back end of his car to either hit him or come close to hitting him. Proving it is something else.

I never said tony will go to jail for this. He will pay that mans family a good amount of money though. Let's just watch and see what happens. New York is comparative fault. So even if the deceased was 90% at fault, his family will get some cash.

If I walk across a gun range who's fault is it if I get shot?

herp a derp probably because he started walking to tony stewarts car instead of the others?



derp derp

I'm just glad these guys are killing each other to help prevent this.

this 100%


This is not murder; it is a tragic accident for sure.



for those of you that think this is murder...go read about what Donte Stallworth of the NFL got away with a few years back.

[Misto]

That was pretty boring.

I'm not surprised that the kid who died was 20 yrs old.

That's about the age most people die when they do something stupid.

[iruinedyourday]

you guys sound like you're trying to get out of jury duty.

[Zaela]

i think we're all missing what's really important here:

did he at least win the race?

[a_gnoll_pup]

He lost the human one.

[Pitborn]

Yellow flag means slow down.

A witness said Tony Stewart accelerated prior to the impact.

Tony Stewart had just cause the same guy to wreck, and that drive was gesturing at Tony when he ran him over.

Detective Pitborn says Tony Stewart is a fgt.

[MrSparkle001]

The guy was an idiot for approaching Tony's car like that. I mean wtf.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

The guy was an idiot for approaching Tony's car like that. I mean wtf.

Fucking this.

I have no idea how races work but bravado and showmanship like that are gonna get you killed.

[Herp]

Way to not see the whole picture. The issue here, in your example, would be whether or not people deliberately shot at you when you walked across said gun range.


Everybody knows what he did was stupid. Doesn't give Sterwart the right to headhunt. Just because he ran on the track doesn't mean he's fair game to for a certain driver to run his ass over in the heat of the moment.

[Tenlaar]

A witness said Tony Stewart accelerated prior to the impact.


Detective Pitborn should take five seconds to figure out that those vehicles require acceleration to turn. Trying to avoid the dumbass running out in front of your car = accelerating.

[Kekephee]

"I'm super mad that I got run off the road in NASCAR so I'm going to walk my redneck ass across the track as these retarded-looking airplane cars are zooming back sos I can talk some shit to the guy who ran me off the road" see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya

[Zadrian]

What the fuck is a Tony Stewart?

[Orruar]

Do you have a PhD in behavioral genetics or are you talking out of your ass?

I have a PhD in Laughing At Unintended Genetic Help (LAUGH for short). Of course it was a tragedy. But hundreds/thousands of people die in some tragic way each day. And in this case, it means one less idiot in the world, which is great for not only the gene pool, but the ecosystem, economy, culture. The human race has been touched on this day.

The "wut gun" was fkn funny as hell - what happened to that one?
The one with the wut lady shooting her head out of the gun, lolol

[GnashingOfTeeth]

I watched that and all I could think is stand behind the car, no dont walk out there.

[Portasaurus]

more o2 for the rest of us

[Kayso]

The truly sad fact is that most of the rednecks competing and in attendance are presumably still alive.

Didn't click. Don't care.

[phrantique]

Shit like that happens in VP aswell, every once in a while..

Kid = IB
Tony Stewart = TMO

Don't get in the way of something moving (common sense).. even tho, Tony Stewart is prolly gonna pay up aswell - fault or not. Difference is, this guy wont respawn at bindpoint.

[Fael]

Was the guy a moron? Yes. But that is par for the course when it comes to race car driving. Stewart did a similar thing after getting pushed off the track a few years ago.

Additionally, it's worth noting that the guy was not standing in front of Tony. He was standing to the right of his vehicle, pointing at him. Tony did not need to avoid him.

It is my opinion that this incident is sketchy as fuck. That is my legal opinion.

No, it would be more of an "if you walk across a blacked out gun range, where shooters cannot see what they're shooting at, whose fault is it if you got shot"

Realistically, between the low light, the speed, and the constant turning, their visibility is extremely limited, and they don't always have the time to react. Tony Stewart will not see any criminal action about this. he will however, lose most of his Sponsors.

[Fael]

because 30 mph is break neck speed for someone like tony Stewart.
