    The headline:

    Fatal Distraction: Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime?

    YES! It is and it should be. It’s neglect! There’s no reason to keep reading when the headline asks a bullshit question.

    I also wouldn’t read an article titled, Should murder be wrong?

      An award winning journalist, the only one to have will two Pulitzers for features, this being one of them: “here’s a horrifying thing that can happen to anyone.”

      Some random dipshit: “what an idiot.”

        A man gets drunk and beats the shit out of his wife.

        An award winning journalist: “here’s a horrifying thing that can happen to anyone.”

        What kind of dumb fuck logic do you have in your brain?

          Exhausted humans incredibly likely to forget things

          Is closer to the actual facts being discussed in the article, which is a very basic and simple thing to understand and fits the headline well

            Yeah, and drunk people are incredibly likely to do dumb shit.

            Don’t do dumb shit and stop killing everyone.

              Oh if only we were perfect little robots, amirite?

              If we peel back your anonymity and examine your life from birth to death, yes, I’m sure you never had close calls and never did dumb shit, is that right?

          Are you this toxic and miserable in real life or are you just chronically online?

      I know I’m being pedantic but murder requires intent, it seems that the majority of these cases are manslaughter, still illegal though and just as sad.
