@joepyeweed :Simply because you don't seem to see the problem with people being shot by repeat offenders who have been given a slap on the wrist multiple times...This is part of the problem with liberal hand holding mentality created by Kevin Lyons and continued for years that has led to the problems we are having currently.

@lanestar7

@lanestar7 :Not true at all, its and honest question that was answered as I thought it would be:It happened to somebody I know so it's important, when its somebody I don't know I will just know it happened and ignore it. @Whit @JakesAunt I completely understand your feelings and that fact that you are upset. I just think this kind of outrage needs to be shown for people who are killed not in an accident involving road racing or other thing but killed on purpose. There are 3 sides to this story and we will only ever hear one side. What would you like to see done to this guy? Want him drawn and quartered? Shot? Run over? Locked up in a dark hole for 100 years?

Thank you. I want him locked up for a long time. Hopefully, this will help keep others safe. Jake is in a casket for the rest of his life. To leave Jake and not come forward shows a lot about his character. I can guarantee if roles were reversed Jake would of stepped up to the plate.

@Carguy :This isn't a political discussion. Take your topic elsewhere as joepyeweed suggested.

@JakesAunt so how do you know it was his fault? Did him not stopping have any affect on the guy being dead or was he dead regardless? How does this guy going to jail or being charged keep anyone else safe from accidents on a pretty dangerous road?We can't start putting people away for bad character.

@Carguy :I think that is a problem, where did I ever say otherwise?My point was we can be outraged by both repeat offenders and road rage murders at the same time... and name another thing that we should be outraged about and we can be outraged about three, four, or more things all at the same time. And they would require different means and methods to address them... that also can be worked on simultaneously.

I was answering a question as what I would like to happen. As to yours, if he is in jail he won't be driving and I believe this is another reason..

@jimthompson Did you read the article I cut and pasted a page ago? It sounds like Thrush basically admits to moving to the right side of the roadway and then Fishel spun out of control. Are those two events unrelated?? And then Thursh gets home and doesn't look over his heavily after-market modified vehicle to see white paint on it after he was just in a road rage incident with a white car??? If you spend thousands on modifying a vehicle I imagine you pay pretty close attention to the state it's in at all time. Not like he was driving a beater he didn't give a crap about. "Thrush said he tried to get off Route 6 at the Knoxville Avenue exit, but Fishel tried to come up alongside his truck. Thrush was afraid and tried to move to the right side of the roadway, he told police, at which time Fishel’s car spun out of control in the grassy median and crashed. Thrush kept driving because he was scared, he said. When officers told him Fishel had died, Thrush reportedly started crying. Thrush had told police he didn’t know the two cars collided. But according to the police report, officers found white paint on the truck’s driver’s side front wheel well and also on another panel."

I think the prosecution has enough circumstantial evidence that will result in some type of plea, no trial. If the guys past driving record is admissible, he is screwed.

@lanestar7 That makes it sound like he is putting it on the dead guy. He left the scene because he was scared of him, he was driving erratically. A decent defense attorney would get him out of this with maybe a nominal jail sentence but probably more like fines and license suspension.

This part has me confused... CCTV cameras typically aren't the best quality for picking up license plates at a distance, especially that late in the day when they start to go black & white instead of color. I also wonder why Burger King would have a camera pointed away from the business.So did the guy hit the drive-through for a burger after road raging?

@tapeworm I'm guessing he went to these places BEFORE the incident. While conducting their search for a black pick-up, the police probably went to several businesses and checked their video footage looking for it.

Jake worked at Menard's. If this incident started at the BK, how does his story of trying to take the exit add up? Then he changed his story and said he DID take the exit, just to get back on Route 6? It just doesn't add up. The photos I saw of the white car clearly show a rear impact & side damage to the doors, not typical in a rollover accident.

The rear impact says an awful lot.
