Teen scooter driver hits back of parked car and goes flying into rear window of an SUV in Dorchester; suffers major injuries

Not that there is any indication of this at all

You're right. There isn't any indication of this at all.

I really wonder at the astonishing genetic superiority of some of you, who clearly never did a boneheaded thing as a teen nor are parents of teens who do boneheaded things.

If he dies from his injuries, his mother will pretty much cry herself to sleep every night for the rest of her life. And that he died doing something stupid and irresponsible won't enter into that in the slightest.

“…if the scooter driver here is part of one of those dirt bike gangs….”

Are you going to be one of the gloaters?

That pays for the damage. What did the car do? Nothing. Why should the owner have to pay for someone being an idiot?

before driving into a parked car

… rode my bike into a parked car. I was not wearing a helmet. I landed on the roof. If you think it was stupidity that caused me to do that, you are wrong. It was self preservation. I was being chased by two large dogs belonging to a nutcase who encouraged them to terrorize the neighborhood.
No reasons were reported why this kid did what he did.

Really, no.

If some suburban kid got hurt running into a parked car while skiing, playing lacrosse, fencing, sculling, sailing, dressage, or even doing a foxtrot at a debutante ball, I'd still laugh my ass off.

A car's what, five feet tall and six feet wide? 30 square feet of unmoving wall in front of him and this kid ran right into it on a device that he can stop and steer? That's a special lack of situational awareness.

My Lord, that parked car jumped out right in front of that poor boy!

I have a certain level of distain for scooter drivers who disregard, in this case, basic common sense.

And suburban kids who get hurt doing similar mindless stuff engender a similar response.

I draw the line on death due to such activities. That I feel bad for. A kid I knew died when he drove into the side of a bus on Boston Street in Dorchester. He was 14. Not the smartest of moves, but a life cut way too short. Compared to that, this kid is lucky.
