Default Re: Should a criminal be responsible for the crash of two news choppers??

I disagree, Felix. How can you charge him with vehicular homicide when his vehicle had no direct effect on the vehicles that collided?

He did not "cause" the choppers to collide. The choppers' crews happened to focus on him to such an extent that the pilots appeared to ignore basic safety procedures (e.g. looking out the flippin' window) and collided.

If a similar crash occured because pilots (or drivers) were watching a woman walking down the street in a bikini, would you advocate charging her with four deaths?
