What are you talking about?
Who is "them".
Don't tell me you are trying to make this a liberal vs conservative issue.
Meh this is one of these things that was probably bound to happen.
Here in the U.S. 32,000 people died and 2.3 MILLION people were injured in 2013. Some temporarily or even permenantly disabled which is a large drain on our economy from a productivity and healthcare standpoint.
This isnt just one kid getting injured.
I can't imagine if this type of track record was applied to flying or taking the train that those methods of travel would not have seen sweeping changes if a technology was available to eliminate 95% of accidents/collisions.
This is just a natural progression of technology.
