RIP Alejandro Alvarez, best wishes for recovery to the rest. >:( :'(
according to reports, this guy is an american citizen, was drunk AND asleep.
i'm not a violent person, but i would personally work this guy over with a bat ... just
enough so the message is painful and permanent.
SPOOOOOON! >:(
I'm waiting to see that happen to all the singlespeeders that roll through Hollywood on the weekend nights.....
With all the drunk partiers in their cages and the cyclists "fighting the man" by not obiding by the rules of the road and traffic signals--- its a recipe for disaster.
^ i agree with that ... the yobs that run lights and signs give the rest of us a bad name.
the mexican thing was a sanctioned race ... those guys were exactly where they needed to be.

From the article, he admitted to using cocaine before the accident.
Sounds like death penalty material to me.
Wow
That photo makes me sick to my stomach :-\

I am no lawster, but if the same incident happened in this country, and the driver was American, would American law call for (or allow) the death penalty? It could be argued that the driver never intended to kill anyone...he was just drunk / stoned. And absent intent, is the death penalty justified? If so, then INTENTIONAL murder should ALWAYS get the death penalty, and it doesn't.
Not that I don't want to see him punished. I too ride a bicycle...I have 67,000 miles on my current ride, a '92 Tommasini (all Italian). That picture makes me cry. I see bodies flying through the air, athletes who may never walk again, let alone ride.
And not that I'm at all saying I'm anti-death-penalty. I'm just saying that a penalty of death could possibly be misapplied in this particular case, IMO.
Just my $.02, of course.
Mods - If anything in this post is inappropriate, very sorry, please remove.
no death penalty in mexico.
but he can look forward to a long and intense life as somebody's biotch.

It does says he used coke. Where does it say he was asleep?
If you're on cocaine, then you don't go to sleep.

Not all states have the death penalty - so it would depend on where in the the US this took place. Even in states with the death penalty a prosecutor isn't required to seek it for sentencing. Also, while he didn't intent to kill anyone he did intend to drive under the influence. I'm not a criminal lawyer - just my thoughts.
That is just make the beast with two backsed up. :(

Why send them to hell right away with a death sentence and execution when the convicted would face two hells in a life sentence without any chance for parole ... one during time in prison intimately knowing fellow prisonmates, and then after he/she dies?
