ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!?! You DONT even know the whole story or what he was doing or thinking at the time!!! All you "know" is what the newspaper says! You talk about karma?? So you're telling me that MY FRIEND deserved to die??? "Good Riddence"???? If you even knew him at all you would know what a kind, caring, loving, good hearted person he was. NO ONE deserves to lose their life so tragically, ESPECIALLY this person!!! He was a beautiful person inside and out and he touched alot of lives. It doesn't matter what mistakes he made throughout his life, he was loved by everyone who knew him DESPITE those mistakes. I dunno where you get your information to talking about a high speed chase there buddy but I think you need to check your facts. I think the only people here who needs to "smarten up" are the narrow minded individuals like yourself who only see things on the outside and dont bother to look deeper. This was not a case of "good fortune" it was a horrible accident who left alot of people broken hearted, devastated, angry, etc. Im mourning the loss of my friend and people like you make me so sick..how would you feel if it was your friend, or your son, or even your brother and i told you it was "karma"??? You are disgusting. If you were so "in the know" then you'd know what you're talking about which is clear you dont!!
