According to CNN, the suit was filed on Monday by the 16-year-old teenager for “unspecified damages” of defects, which inflicted to the death of her father. "The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car. It doesn't belong on the street," Jeff Milan, the family’s lawyer, said in a statement.
"And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas," he added. Calvin Kim, the Porsche Cars North America representative, said, on the other hand, that the company hasn’t seen the lawsuit yet

Rough draft segregation was a terribly unfair law that lasted about a hundred years in the United States. A group of high school students who struggled for better educational conditions were a big factor in ending segregation in the United States. Even though going on strike for better conditions may have negative impacts, African Americans were not treated equally in education because of segregation and the Jim Crow laws were so unfair and the black schools were in terrible condition compared to the whites’. In 1896 the Plessy v. Ferguson case made the segregation of blacks and whites legal; and the Supreme Court made the Jim Crow laws legal, saying that blacks are “separate but equal.” African Americans knew that was unfair and could especially see it in the schools.
she replied after a moment. “Daisy, I saw some trouble on the road. George Wilson’s wife was killed. You know the fella that owns that garage? A car killed her, she said.

This conclusion was arrived at by the Royal Courts of Justice in London who after 23 hours produced the verdict that Henri’s ‘gross negligence’ contributed to the crash. Henri Paul was driving the couple whilst under the influence. This alcohol caused him to drive more erratically, and crash into the tunnel pillar. Witnesses say that Paul was drinking at the Ritz bar on the night of the crash. This was confirmed by bar receipts found after the crash. A medical expert concluded that Paul had had ten aperitifs, and was twice over the British driving limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol, and three times over the French one of 50 milligrams of alcohol when he drove the couple that night. French prosecutors say that his alcohol levels were between 1.73 g/L and 1.75 g/L (approximately 0.17% mass/vol.) at 12:25 am, following the crash. It has been estimated by investigators that the Mercedes-Benz crashed into the tunnel pillar driving at 105 km/h, over the speed limit of 50km/h. This was more than double the speed limit. The official verdict was that the crash was in equal part by Henri Paul’s drunkenness and the pursuing
While reading “ Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer, many opinions can be formed of Chris McCandless. One, in particular, was the author's opinion which he blatantly stated on page 85. He didn't think that Chris was some reckless foolish insane idiot. He believed that competent otherwise he wouldn't have lasted so long. I agree with Krakauer, things Chris did on this journey did not show signs of some careless person. Chris was just an adventurer looking to get away from the expectations society had of him to see the world for what it really was.
The following is an adjusted version of an argument I presented in Critical Thinking last semester. My opinion has not changed, just expanded.. :)
The People vs. Hall and Dread Scott Decision both were very interesting cases. Their similarities zoomed to expose the preamble of the Constitution and make the authors of it think over what they meant by "all men are created equal." This question is still present today, are all men created equal? Or does it mean by men, the white Americans with European decent?
This book is telling a story about two African American boys (Wes A and Wes P) who have the same name and grew up at same community, but they have a very different life. The author, Wes A, begins his life in a tough Baltimore neighborhood and end up as a Rhodes Scholar, Wall Streeter, and a white house fellow; The other Wes Moore begins at the same place in Baltimore , but ends up in prison for the rest of his life. Then why do they have the same experience, but still have a totally different life? I will agree here that environment (family environment, school education environment and society environment) is one of the biggest reasons for their different.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.
“ A family of five was traveling to Florida for a family vacation when the family was suddenly struck between two semi’s. The EMT’s pronounced the whole family dead at the scene earlier that night. Police have yet to release details on what the cause of the accident was but said it was an unexpected incident”, the local news reported said.
Imagine that your daughter is walking home from the store. A man in a black car starts following her. He gets out and begins to follow her by foot. You daughter begins to run in fear. The suspicious character begins running after her. She stops and decides to face her fear. She knees him and pepper sprays him. Seconds later, shots were fired leaving your daughter dead. She is the aggressor and he is justified for shooting her in “self-defense” under the stand your ground law. The stand-your-ground law is a law that states that an individual has the lawful right to use any level of forces, including lethal force, if they are faced in any situation where they feel harmed. The first “stand your ground” law was passed in April of 2005 in Florida.WHile the “Stand Your Ground” law can be used as self defense, it puts the lives of African American youth in danger by allowing people to take unfair advantage of the law: therefore, O.C.G.A 16-3-23.1 should be prohibited.
There were over six million cases of car accidents in the United States alone, about 41% of these incidents involved a male, between the ages of 16-19. Most accidents are caused by distractions such as music and cell phones which caused over three thousand deaths last year. This is a big issue in young drivers today, as they lack respect of how much damage a moving vehicle is truly capable of.
Summary B chapter one in Unthinkable gets in detail about what happen the day of the accident, and why and how it happens. Scott was working for a lawn mowing company with a group of friends for the summer when a reckless driver made a mistake on the road causes the 18 wheeler scoot was on to lose balance.

He was in critical condition so the doctor gave his parents a chance to pick the leg get cut off or it does not.
Have you ever had to make a decision in your life? I’m pretty sure we all have, the decision can even be what you ate for breakfast in the morning. Robert Frost wrote a poem about a man who has to make an important decision. In the poem “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost, he states, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference” (Woods). To me taking the road less traveled by means, doing something on your own. It means not following a crowd, it means doing something unique. It can be hard to go your own way, but that is what Robert Frost is talking about. Everybody should go the path is right for them, not the one that many other people have gone down. There are many examples of people taking the unexpected path, I have gone through a path many people have never seen before, so have
Following sexual allegations made against the well-known actor, Kevin Spacey has been suspended from House of Cards and cut from multiple projects. I think that perhaps one of the most shocking allegations made against Kevin Spacey is that he attempted to seduce Anthony Rapp at the age of 14. At the time they were both on Broadway. Spacey was reportedly having a party and invited Rapp. However, after a while, young Rapp got bored and decided to head to the bedroom to watch tv.
