Scenario 1: - 0% your fault; You're driving on your way to your job like you normally do, you're not speeding and you're paying attention, a kid on a bike rides into the road and you hit & kill him
Scenario 2: - Arguably partly your fault; You decided to go driving for some pointless reason like to the gas station to get a soda, or a gram of weed, or just wanted to go for a drive, you're paying attention and not speeding, a kid on a bike rides into the road and you hit & kill him
Scenario 3: Entirely your fault; Your're driving intoxicated, have no reason to be driving, not paying attention to the road, and driving recklessly and speeding, you run a red light and hit a kid crossing the street on the crosswalk.
Would you feel guilty about #1 or 2?

If your paying attention shouldn't you be able to see this little shit and slam on the breaks? I'd feel guilty regardless because it's a little kid. I'd feel guilty if it was a woman to probably if it was a dude fuck him he should've been looking both ways

feel bad my ass. any one of those scenarios would have given me a case of priapism. I almost got a nigger in the street a few months ago but he jumped out of the way

If you drive you risk death, thats the fun of it.

Id only feel guilt if it was my fault where I coyld have done something to prevent it. Id feel bad in anycase, especially a child, dog or other animal, but just simply me driving normal, paying attention, regardless if the drive was for the sake ofba drive or not, I wouldnt feel guilty solely for that. I dont drink and drive, I dont drive when I take new drugs or drugs that interfere with me driving- ever even had a speeding ticket. Id say I am a pretty cautious driver and I pay attention well behind the wheel so I doubt Id ever be feeling guilty for a tragity like that.

I thought I was responsible for a girl's suicide once, and it fucked me up really bad, like more than I could ever imagine. Life changing.

I would feel bad if I ended an innocent life in any instance. Even if you arent to blame its still shitty.

Guilty? Never. Sad? Yes in each scenario.

Everyone who says they wouldn't feel guilty is lying. I'd feel bad about killing anyone, unless they're a really shitty person. Let's say I'm driving down the road and Crooked Hillary suddenly ends up under my car... yeah, not feeling bad at all.

I already feel bad and guilty and I haven't even T-boned a kid.

It reminds me of a post I read from an EMT. In their experience, every single driver who had had someone commit suicide by jumping in front of their vehicle needed to be sedated.
You're still human, all too human.

One time I thought I caused a chick to miscarry her twins and felt pretty bad for a few days, until my friends mom convinced me that I had nothing to do with it. It was probably for the best she miscarried anyway.
That was the one and only chick I met through Craigslist.
