  • He probably knew that the charges would be more severe if he continued to run and did not want further repercussions. Considering the bail is set at 2 million dollars, I doubt he will be getting bailed out but if he was, then I would be a little more conscious of my surroundings. But if he killed two people, I'm hoping he would have learned his lesson about street racing. I think he feel's sorry about what happened considering he more than likely was looking to have fun, not kill people. 

  • He probably didn't want to live with knowing he killed two people. I'm sure he wouldn't be allowed to get a license ever again. He probably feels guilty about what he did.

  • He might have done it for publicity. I don't feel safe on the roads anyways due to so many distractions such as phones and he probably doesn't think much of it.

  • Because there might of been witnesses that would of snitched. It is not just drive around with him out he was racing a highly tuned up car. He probably think why was some out that late at night.

  • I think he felt bad so he was surrendered. I hope he learned his lesson. 

  • Well I don't know how a person could live with all that gulit knowing that he might have killed three pedestrians. Honestly if he was street racing i wouldn't worry about him doing it again if he got bailed out. Obviously he feels guilty and I bet hes already learned his lesson. 

  • I think that he surrendered because he thought that he couldn't run forever and that he was guilty. And I would not feel safe with him driving but who has 2 million dollars to bail him out? 

    • Exactly. I think his bond was set so high because of how tragic this event was! He will pay the time for it!

  • I think he surrendered because he felt bad. 
    I wouldn't feel safe at all, but I would hope that he had learned his lesson from what happened earlier. 
    I think this man probably feels bad for what he's done. 

    • I agree, especially if he has to live the rest of his life knowing he killed two people!
