Paul Walker dead following car accident

[sniper7]

Very sad, I enjoyed his movies. RIP

He was in the process of helping out the Philippines taking people on test drives.... How sad for his family! Growing up without a father is going to be hard.

So is the media blaming this on the Porsche or the light pole?

In 2012, 33,561 people were killed in traffic accidents in the US. That is about 2800 people every month or 95 people every day.

Be safe.

Sounds like the Porsche honestly, By the tone of the writing in every article I've seen on it, it's like it was some magical phenomenon where the car just flew off the road all by itself. I mentions nothing of high speed driving or reckless actions by the guy behind the wheel.

Remember, Nothing could possibly be the fault of the person.

The accident happened in Santa Clarita -- north of Los Angeles -- and Paul was the passenger in the two-seater Porsche Carrera GT when the driver somehow lost control

Sounds to me like they're pinning this on the driver. But I would really appreciate if we could not turn this into a political circle jerk.

Good that they're admitting it finallly, every single one I saw last night said things like this, as if the car magically was in control at some point.

According to witnesses, the red Porsche Carrera GT carrying Walker and his friend lost control and slammed into a tree and then a light pole.

He was reportedly a passenger in the Porsche at the time of the crash.

I think he'd be alive if he was driving... They got a lot of training in driving to make the Fast And Furious movies. So sad, I liked Paul Walker. Like Jhood said, anyone who says he can't act has their head in their 4th point of contact- he saved the silly script that was Joy Ride.

It would seem obvious that a car by itself wouldn't just run into something solid, there's always that human element. The driver, Roger Rodas, I'd imagine was no slouch behind the wheel being that he was a SCCA World Challenge competitor. I've heard of other Carrera GTs killing their drivers, apparently it's a lot of car to handle. Either way, It's sad to see someone with as much potential as Paul Walker just pass away like that. From what I gathered, Paul was an avid shooter, big car enthusiast, and his morals seemed to be the right place. Which I think is rare in the acting world, and his movies were entertaining to say the least. R.I.P.

And it is a problem if a sarcastic political barb is tossed out how?

If a firearm had been the cause of his death we would have already been blasted with 8+ hours of anti gun rhetoric.

Face it, in just about every part of our daily lives politics plays a role. (unless one lives in a fantasy world)


RIP Mr Walker

Because this is a car accident. Maybe victimization politics plays a role in everything you say or do, but for many people, it doesn't.

...but probably not quite as much as the professional driver that was behind the wheel when they went one-on-one with a telephone pole.
