The world today is becoming more and more dangerous.Many innocent people are being killed and dying due to unfortunate accidents. On Monday, 6pm, a skateboarder Ralph was hit by a silver Toyota taxi and died. It was near King and St.George's Street . The driver was charged with second degree murder. Ralph was 28 years old riding along with his skateboard when he was hit by the taxi driver. The taxi driver is 43 years old and was in court on Tuesday to explain his case. They are still investigating on how exactly this happened, but it is expected for the taxi Driver to spend 10-15 years in prison.
This shows how dangerous and careful you ned to be in this world. Many people are dying due to stupid and unfortunate events. It really hurts to see one person die and negatively impact their families. I think many people need to realize how important a life of a person is. With one mistake, you can get killed and it can never be recovered. As a 16 year old boy, I am starting to realize that I should second think my actions if I don't want any of my family members, and people around me to suffer.

Im not sure if the cab driver should really be charged with murder. It could have been a pedestrian that he didnt see.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if he should be charged with second degree murder because if this was a planned murder, it would have been a hit-and-run case and if you plan to murder someone in a taxi, you can be easily tracked down. I think that the courts should see this as a accident which can be the case. Many bicyclers or skateboarders can be easily hit from on-coming traffic if their not careful.
