What ever happened to the teen who tried rolling coal on a group of cyclists but ended up hitting them instead? Did he get afluenzaed out of his charges? Well Connected teen finally charged after mowing down cyclists

And that article is almost 18 months old. I haven’t been able to find out if there has been any further action regarding prosecuting that idiot. I have a funny feeling that charges will be swept under the rug eventually.

Charged and went to court and guilty are very different topics... Probably easy for a well connected kid to be told ... "Hey we have to charge you because of this, but your under 18 so your name won't be in it... but we are going to make an accident in the paperwork and you will walk away"

Idk if you’ve ever met triathletes before, but I’m guessing there was at least one lawyer in that group. These are highly driven people who spend their free time exercising like maniacs. If the kid isn’t charged, he’ll be sued into the poor house along with his parents.

I am a triathlete, this is accurate. Go to any triathlon and check out the parking. An awful lot of BMWs, Audis, and Teslas in attendance.

Yeah it is kind of weird... Probably the same mindset that tells a person they need to do an IronMan is probably the same mindset to get to high paying jobs.

I really hope we don't know anything because he was a minor when he injured six cyclists, but I have no faith in the system when it comes to wealthy, well connected criminals.

The problem with the US Legal System is that you are both a Minor and not a Minor in cases like this... Just comes down to a few small details...
