But in all of this i do find it stupid to race on busy streets especially mid day afternoon, i have street raced before, but in tampa where it goes on they are a bit smarter then doing it on a major roadway in mid day afternoon, those 2 goons get what they deserve.

The sentence is too damn light. Six years is not enough.
IMO, they deserve 15yrs minimum, and to have their driving priviledges permanently revoked. They were responsible for that woman's death, for chrissakes. :a:

As you get older, wiser, and have a family you start to realize there are more important things in life besides who's dick is bigger.

That's like saying get someone liquiored up, send him out in a car and he kills someone, he really didn't intend to kill anyone - he just wanted to get home. There's always an excuse, which I hate excuses.

Not saying it's not his fault, nor that the person is not responsible for the death. It's just not murder. Murder is an action performed with the intent to kill. Vehicular homicide charges fit the crime committed.
