Have you guys even really researched this?

I dont see how having a weapon would have prevented his death from someone who didnt know how to drive properly crashing into a bus.

The bus, which the driver “put a lot of input into” trying to get away from the minivan, sustained damage to the back axle, Smith said. It went down an embankment, turned, then flipped on its top.

Aiden Clark, 11, was ejected out of the top emergency hatch as the bus flipped, and he was crushed under the roof, Smith said. The emergency hatch door snapped off its hinges.

It almost does sound like these assholes went right for the bus, but I am going to assume it wasnt on purpose, because I try my best not to judge people until I know the entire story.

It wasnt even a fucking haitian ffs. (edit: I guess he was, but he lived in mexico, and had a mexico license, but mexico does have a haiti population living in it)

Smith said there is evidence that as the Honda made initial contact with the bus, Joseph attempted to turn the vehicle into the other lane. He said there is no evidence of an attempt to brake or return to the proper lane prior to striking the bus.

The minivan was traveling between 58 and 61 mph at the time according to a speed calculation, Smith said. The speed limit was 55 mph. A speed analysis could not be completed on the school bus.

Joseph’s attorney, Cathy Weithman, said during opening statements the sun was in her client’s eyes at the time of the crash. Smith said the sun was in the east — the direction Joseph was traveling — and Joseph’s sun visor was down.

Weithman emphasized to jurors the main element of the case is whether Joseph’s license was valid: an invalid license elevates his vehicular homicide charge to a felony, which gives way to the involuntary manslaughter charge, which he can be charged with if he caused a death while committing a felony.

Joseph has a Mexican driver’s license.

Sydney King, Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles policy advisor, testified Tuesday that Joseph did not have an Ohio driver’s license, but he did have a state identification card. She said an Ohio ID requires a person to establish residency in the state.

Joseph obtained his state ID at the end of March 2023, King said. She said Joseph provided an I-94 when he applied for his ID, which established his immigration status in the U.S. as legal.

A person who has established residency in Ohio has 30 days to obtain a driver’s license in order to legally drive, King said. Those from out of the country whose intention is solely to visit can drive for a year before being required to obtain an Ohio driver’s license.

Yeah they should prolly require immigrants to retake driving tests for their license, imo.

Anyway. This poor fucking family dude.

Its bad enough their son got fucking EJECTED and crushed by the bus, its been a year and they got to deal with this stupid shit now?

They just want to heal and how the fuck is that going to happen with dipshits like trump and vance using their son for their own political gain.

It really is sickening.

This is also something I have been pointing out for fucking YEARS.

They should have seatbelts on the buses, ESPECIALLY IF THOSE BUSES TAKE HIGHWAYS.
