If you save the kid - vehicular manslaughter and probably realistically around three years or less in prison.

If you don't, vehicular manslaughter and negligent homicide (you purposefully allowed somebody else to die). If you get caught you'll be spending much more than a decade behind bars.


Plus I personally could not live with myself if I allowed the second kid to die - I'd struggle for killing the first kid. So no matter how long the prison sentence I'd save the kid.

I broke countless laws already. So I am not exactly a "good" person. But if I would have to choose between a kids life and my temporary freedom I would choose the life of the kid.



I couldn't leave the kid to die. I'd have to run over him again.



Did they get in the middle of the road where they're not supposed to be?
Or did I swerve off and hit them?

Situation 1(above):

*me hits kids*
Stops car
Yelling out the window: You dumb fucks, watch out next time!
Get out to steal their belongings
Tell the living kid "You shouldn't dance with the devil!" *evil grin*
Get back in car
*drives away*

Situation 2:

*me hits kids*
Stops car
Yelling at myself: You dumb fuck, you just hit some kids!
Get out to make sure they're okay, realize they're not
Ask the living kid if he believes in God
Tell him he will see him soon if appropriate
Get back in car
*drives away*
*insert heavy drinking and drug use here*



Its easy to say no I would do this and that but I am sure some people that said I would let the kid die would safe this kid once they see the dying kid on the street. Your feelings betray you often in situations like this and you do stuff (positive or negative) you wouldnt expect from yourself.

I'd like to know the four people who said they would save the kid

I polled save the kid, Why because my wife 21 at the time was run down and killed and my sister inlaw was left in a critical condition by a drunk driver while waiting at a bus shelter to go to Uni at 8.30 in the morning, the car  came down the hill and veered  across the road  he was given a 6 month jail term. so yes I would.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

There's more than one way to handle this.

1. Put the injured kid in the driver's seat and report my car stolen (cover my face with my shirt so injured kid doesn't recognize).

2. Take the injured kid to the hospital. Rape an old lady.

3. Wait for the cops to arrive (shouldn't move an injured person--you can do more damage). When they do, I'd whip out my trademark phrase, "Did I do that?" (Steve Urkel sold me the trademark, btw). The cops will be so entertained, they'd just laugh and let me go.

4. What the hell are two kids doing out in the middle of nowhere on a Saturday night when I've just left the strip club? Are they runaways? If so, they're bad kids and they got what they deserved for not listening to their parents. Drive away (aka: Rationalize what I did).

5. Blame it all on a black guy. Of course, I'm black so there's only a 50/50 chance that this would work.

6. Man up. Take my punishment like a man.



I guess I'd go with #6. Of course, I haven't had a drink since mid 2009 so this situation wouldn't happen to me. I like to think of myself as the kind of person that tends to do the right thing. When I do wrong, even if I can get away with it, I usually take responsibility.
