I guess the message is if you're going to run loud pipes try to be polite when you're stoped in traffic. VWW

Is the whole world full of fcuking idiots?

Makes me proud to be FROM Indiana.

Did the guy die? If yes, why not heavier charges?

If Chapman did die, I think he should be nominated for the 2002 Darwin Award.

pretty clear he didn't die.

i'm trying to decide which party is stupider. i think it's a tossup.

I seriously doubt that the world is a darker place because Chapman is no longer with us, or because Patton will be locked up for the next several years. I could be wrong -- perhaps Chapman was days away from discovering a cure for cancer, and Patten was on his way to a construction site where he was joining Jimmy Carter in building homes for the homeless, but somehow, I doubt it.

Gotta say that 2-8 years shooting a man in a fight that the perp started seems pretty light.

Think you are right -- on both counts.

In spite of the title, nothing in the article suggests that he died. This makes the charges a bit more palatable.

Umm...are you new? Do you really need to ask this?

BMW4VWW · 12-06-2002, 10:45 AM

Read the story again. If the guy had died the charges would have been at a minimum

involuntary manslaugter. VWW

[*]Assuming the guy didn't die and I am not a lawyer, why wasn't the charge attemped (aggravated) murder.?[*] If he did die, why doesn't the AMA go hire some attorneys to file a wrongful death suit?[*] I wonder if Patton would of received the same light plea agreement if he had killed a kid in car reving his engine.
