Teen accused of killing man in Flower Mound

[Mike]

When all said and done, this unfortunate man is just another statistic... one of 40,000+ that will be killed on the Nations roads this year. We kill enough people on our roads to match 9-11 every 23 days!
But heaven forbid us banning cell 'phone usage outright... oh no, just the school zones will be fine... spineless politicians!

Absolutely! This country has HUGE problems with DWI's. Age is not an issue here, those country's where 18yr olds can drink don't have half the DWI cases we do.

This is an inherent problem that leads to hundreds of deaths like this every year!!

I dare say some Defense Lawyer will be chasing this case for the $$$, blood on their hands!!

RIP Joe , you are missed on this holiday.

I miss my best friend everyday. I think those of you that have mean things to say should be considerate to those people who lost a son, grandson, cousin, brother and friend.

FORTY THOUSAND +

That's how many are killed on U.S. roads annually by whatever means.

Joseph is sadly another statistic.

Driving standards are poor, courtesy on the road... what courtesy. Talking on cell 'phones, eating your fat burgers.. whatever....

Approx 120 people A DAY are killed.... It equates to 9-11 every 23 days... we invaded Iraq on the back of that...

Road deaths? Nothing is done.

Joseph... Rest in Peace

I happen to know Lauren very well and I am not taking up for this situation but I think you all need to stop and look at the situation. Yes they said there was drinking involved.. but who knows how much. WHO WALKS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN IT IS PITCH DARK. Yah she was under age.. but if she was 21 would you all be yelling? What if she swirved to miss a dog would you all be yelling? If she was soooo drunk that she couldn't function to swirve and miss him that is a different story but I don't think this is the case.. she just couldn't see him.

R U kidding me? u r the only ingnoramous here and dont think ur alone with being these individuals friends. Read the real results the police report said she had a bac of .000 @ the scene and later so get ur facts straight. The "victim' was however very drunk and had the bac to prove it. He was walking in the middle of the road! yes a tradgedy but still THE MIDDLE OF A 55 MILE AN HOUR HIGHWAY what is that a recipt for? DISASTER. we need to take control of our own lives before we expect other to do this for us... and as for you comments on her, you as an individual can know God will judge you, just you and HIM worry about that...thats all point blank period move on...

[REallyhuh]

U all have it so twisted she was not drunk read the police report all u experts and friends out there however the victim yea he was drunk you can check that out 2 and in the middle of a 55 mph freeway he obviouslly didnt value his life to much as for her sad all u who think u know bettr doont look down next time u change the cd player or u might be the one everybody knos so much about...

[SHOCKED]

Seriously are you people saying THE PERSON WHO GOT KILLED FOR NO REASON IS NOT A VICTIM? Seriously, you guys are being real...IDIOTS. Imagine if YOUR loved one got struck by a car and KILLED? Just by walking along a SUBURBAN ROAD? Cars are supposed to STAY ON THE ROAD, so even if there wasn't a sidewalk - THE PERSON WHO DIED IS A VICTIM! Cars stay on the road, wow, who would have thought of that...maybe a 15 year old teenager...gee.

[Friend of Joe]

Joe was not legally intoxicated as REallyhuh indicates, he had some alcohol in his system and NO DRUGS. REallyhuh stop pulling stuff out your butt and learn how to spell.

We have greenbelts and sidewalks out the yahoo. Just because the majority of the people who complain about wanting to walk/ride in the street don't realize they are elitists, does not mean the citizens of Flower Mound should pamper the little spoiled brats with bike lanes, etc. Get on a sidewalk like all the rest of us brainiacks!
