I agree, but that also seems to back
up my point about it being the insurance laws themselves that were at fault
there. Because the way the law was written, it had to be the first choice.
Because had the parents not paid to fix it, and the guy hadn't called....then he
would have had to pay for the car himself because the insurance company wouldn't
have......because he didn't call the cops.
My point exactly, I agree with
you.....but I think the insurance law that made him call was the culprit.
Because according to the article had he not, they wouldn't have paid. I think
myself there should be some wiggle room in there where it could have been worked
out and then if the parents didn't pay he could have still filed on his
insurance. But the way the law was, according to the article...the didn't have
that option.

No one is really saying that action
shouldn't be taken. What is really being said is that the action was
unproportionate. It could have been handled, insurance not withstanding,
by the adults in the instance talking it out. That's the way people
*used* to handle things. There is no reason why people can't still
handle things that way. Getting cops and lawyers and insurance companies
involved should always be a last resort, yet today it's the first
option.
Frankly I think there is enough real crime
going on that it is ridiculous to waste a cops time by having him present to
write a citation to a kid that misjudged his jump. Maybe he could be at
the red light stopping the adult fools who come through the red
lights.

Another thing wrong with society is people don't want to take
responsibility for their own actions or the actions of their
children.

I'm not a kid today, because there is no way in the world I'd wear a
helmet to ride a freaking bicycle. And I'd probably jump a few sand
hills. God knows I jumped over my share of picnic tables on
one. I've even hit a car or two on accident. No one made a
federal crime out of it. If punishment was deserved my family took
care of it. There was no need to bring the cops into it.
That's partly what is wrong with society these
days. Everyone wants to either call the cops or sue over things that
really are unimportant.
