That was bad too, but not as bad as Heche's case since it wasn't a residential neighborhood where kids could be playing, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZecxzmH1fs.

That's BS argument but I knew that argument was coming. Speeding on highway is just as bad if not worse.
shareDo you lack reading comprehension? I plainly said it was bad, but highways are made for speed while residential neighborhoods are not, plus Heche smashed into someone's house and left them homeless while Paul Walker & Rodas only destroyed themselves on a relatively empty highway.
shareMore destruction potential at highway. End of argument. That nurse crashing the other week proves this. Never heard of a person fatally crashing like that in a pedestrian area unless it was a terrorist/mass murder attack. Examples like Alek Minassian, the Nice truck attack etc. That is not what Heche did.
shareWhy are you telling me this? I plainly said it was bad. The issue on this thread is why are people more outraged by Heche's mad actions compared to Walker's foolish speeding, which I explained in simple terms.
shareYou said it was not as bad as something else. And people are challenging your logic of what is or isn't as bad as crashing in a residential street.
shareBoth are bad, I agree. But, again, highways are made for speed and don't have children playing/walking/whatever. True, kids travel as passengers on highways, but they're protected by the vehicle/seat belt whereas kids on neighborhood streets are not. Thus driving down a residential neighborhood at 90 MPH is worse than driving down a highway that is conducive to speed and lacks kids playing and people-in-general frolicking.
Furthermore, it's worse if a reckless driver risks the lives of kids simply because they haven't even lived yet. In short, it's worse to die at 5 years-old compared to 24.
More kids die in car crashes on the highway than by being knocked down in residential streets.
Obviously, and why is that? Because there are (1) way more people on the highways and (2) way more vehicles, not to mention (3) driving at way higher speeds, compared to residential areas where you're driving 25-35 MPH.
Also, the topic of this thread is why is the public outraged more by Heche's crazy driving compared to Walker's foolish speeding on the highway. It's not just that Anne risked the lives of innocents playing or frolicking in the neighborhoods, but that she actually smashed into a home and left some homeless, even if it's just temporary. Walker, by contrast, only destroyed himself on an empty highway, not to mention his friend in the passenger seat.
That's all I have to say on the topic. share
Are you trying to say that no building can be at risk from a high speed accident on a highway? Or that pedestrians young and old are only at risk in residential areas?

Yes I know that. And the attempts to paint the Walker incident as somehow better are ludicrous and distasteful.
We can be pretty sure that Heche's behaviour was exacerbated by emotional distress and likely intoxication. That doesn't excuse any of it. And neither does the lack of children frollicking in front of Walker's car as he and his friend gambled with everyone's safety make their actions less worse than Heche's.
By the way, "the public" aren't outraged. Just hand wringing chickenshits attempting to establish some weird sense of moral authority.
Nothing you’re saying seems controversial to me. I watched the video of her driving like a madman down a neighborhood street. It appeared far more reckless than seeing someone speeding on a highway where all other motorists are likewise moving fast and there is zero risk of pedestrians. I’m not sure why others gave you grief about such a benign and indisputable point.
