I'm biting on this only because this is a very serious issue and some people's opinions are just wrong.

Have you ever driven a sprint car on a dirt track? You don't drive them like normal cars on a paved surface. In the past two days, I've seen comments from some people here and many others on other websites explaining how a sprint car is driven. Using the throttle is necessary to be able to control the car.

Clearly? Where is your evidence then? Nothing about this is clear.

Two hot-headed guys caught in the moment, only one had a deadly weapon at his disposal.
For the most part, I agree with you on this.

Intentionally? Again, where is your evidence?
