road deaths

"Not only are they second class because they have fewer rights than offenders, but just compared to other victims of crime, our government doesn't define homicide as including criminal road death...so the driver of a speed boat can be prosecuted for homicide manslaughter, but a drunk speeding driver caught trying to evade police, well that's just causing death by dangerous driving."
