This incident reminds me how I almost crashed my van when I Tried to take off a pull-over sweatshirt as I was driving. It got hung up around my big head I still get weak in the knees thinking about the stupidity of it, even decades later.
I just heard about Anton's death a few minutes ago. And I thought I was a Star Trek fan! I really thought he was a great Chechov. He made him funny and likable, but still super smart. Wow, It has really upset me, especially after learning the details.
cheers! -

TMZ links won't work, but easily found.
From the dent in the fence, and the position of the brick column, he was hit with tremendous force, and at very least, completely unable to breathe or move. Also it looks like an exclusive neighborhood where it wouldn't have been easily visible or heard by others.
Must have been absolutely terrifying last moments. RIP.

The "blame" game is about avoiding and going into denial about the "reality", "mishaps" and "sufferings" of life. It always has to be something else, or someone else. It just is most of the time. Yelchin may have simply forgotten to put on the park break, so his "own" actions had a consequence.

a new shifter design that was recalled because too many people were not engaging park probably
You mean the park break, if it was a manual vehicle? Or was it automatic? The car was found in neutral and the park break would have need been engaged regardless of the transmission, due to the slope.

no i mean park on the shifter. yes it was found in neutral because park on the shifter wasnt selected because no doubt due to the design that makes it hard to know when you are in park or not and hense why it was recalled. yes he should of engaged the park break (handbreak ) but most autos can hold the car on a slope without the park break..

And it doesn't mean this wasn't a defective model, and it would be quite the coincidence that his jeep happens to be under recall for doing what killed him.
Your confident insistence that he was at fault is born of a twisted failure of logic and mean-spiritedness. Hopefully you will speak your ugly thoughts aloud to the right person irl and get what's coming.

You asked a question, and I politely answered it.
You call ME dense? I have never asked you a question.

Don't insult me due to your insistence that we need to play the blame game.
You need to read your own words:
There was nothing defective about his vehicle. He made the mistake
Remember, short-term? You are the one playing the blame game.
YOU CANNOT PROVE the jeep was the cause.
And you cannot prove it WASN'T, but the recall coincidence is remarkable, and investigations will tell more. Given that you don't know one way or the other, why so quick to blame it on Anton? Probably because you are a prick.

Your confident insistence that he wasn't at fault is born of a twisted failure of grasping "reality" and pure-simplmindeness.
So if the vehicle was defective for the reasons of the recall, does that mean the parking\handbreak was too?

Do you really set the handbrake every single time you put an automatic vehicle in park, esp if just hopping out for a minute? Also, "simplmindeness"? Id111ciot douchebag proves him/herself to be an idiot.

If I turn off the engine and exit the car, yes I do. I guess you are the simpleminded one, because you can't see that if the handbreak was on, the car wouldn't have rolled backward. That is what it is for, a precaution and a good habit to get into using it. Perhaps you need some more driving lessons.
