What was the age of driver snd deceased?

Deceased was 18, do not know how old the driver is.

How would it be a miscarriage of justice? Cleaning ones gun and negligently discharging it and killing ones spouse, should that individual be charged with manslaughter?

What would be accomplished by ruining a kid’s life?
Do you think the victim would want his buddy charged?
I’m not saying that the circumstances don’t fit the legal definition of manslaughter. I’m saying to charge this kid would serve no purpose.
But I’m a Republican. I’m fine with somebody having an opinion different than mine.

I was on that side until I read more. Apparently the driver had already hit someone and the rest of them were saying to stop and slow down.

I haven’t heard that.
Puts a whole new spin on it.

As I said before, play silly games, win silly prizes!

This is a tough one. As I said earlier two families are forever changed.
Tragic. . . . yes
Dumb. . . . yes
Immature. . . . yes
Irresponsible. . . .absolutely
Malice. . . . probably not
What would it accomplish NOT to charge? Our system of justice seeks equity, but do we ever get there? Accountability, sometimes. BTW The driver is not a kid. He can vote, take a life in the service of the country, incur debt, make most adult decisions for himself.
Do you think the victim (we don't know they were buddies, they knew each other) would want charges brought? That's a rhetorical question. We can't know.
The purpose of a charge would show that in the end we are a nation of laws. The intent is everyone can seek justice in our system. If it is proven you are the one responsible for the death of a person, the system wants justice. You don't like the system, change it.

Those that say it would serve no purpose? I'm pretty sure it would teach the guy driving the truck to be more careful and think about his actions so his future actions don't cause anyone else's death. This world is going to shit because most in society now aren't held accountable for their actions.

That's a good bit of information filled in here. If anything the negligent manslaughter charge is too subtle after reading that.

Some people's kids....

I FEEL BAD FOR FAMILIES ! BUT THAT Deer in headlight stare is strange , no fear no regret just OVERLOAD ? NO DISCRIPTION OF EMOTIONS , POWERS THAT BE SEEM TO BE CONTROLLING THIS FAIRLY TIGHT . TOURIST BOARD IN ACTION ? HOW OFTEN VEHICLES INVOLVED WITH RETAINING PONDS ! NO FENCE YOUNG PEAPLE'S PLAYGROUND ?
JUST A FEW QUESTIONS .

 

[DustyDog]

They are charging the driver with negligent manslaughter. Seems harsh for a dumb kid’s prank.
Lord knows I did a lot of stupid things when I was a kid.

That's because his name isn't "Alec Baldwin"...

AB's not out of the woods just yet.

 

[DustyDog]

I'll bet they were impressed by the "Jackass" movie...

 

[TontoFAC]

The young man that died has some responsibility also. He had to consent to be pulled in the inner Tube.

Somebody died during the commission of a crime. That should be a murder charge. It doesn't matter how he died or what kind of crime it was or if the dead guy consented or the age of the men involved
