Teen Says Friend Asked to Be Hit With Car
By Associated Press
52 minutes ago

CHESTERTON, Ind. - A 17-year-old boy who police said asked a friend to hit him with a car "for fun" was still hospitalized Tuesday with a broken leg.

Michael Morris, a junior at Chesterton High School, was in fair condition at Porter hospital, spokeswoman Robin Carlascio said.

His friend, Stephen D. Domonkos, 18, told police that Morris on Saturday night asked him to hit him with his car, something they had done before. He told police that Morris was "an adrenaline junkie."

Domonkos was driving about 25 mph when the car hit Morris, shattering the windshield, in the parking lot of a Chesterton restaurant where Domonkos works.

Domonkos was charged with felony criminal recklessness. If convicted, he could face six months to three years in jail.

"I won't do this no more," Morris of Chesterton told The Times of Munster

    The situation is ridiculous, but...


    does it really make sense to charge somebody with a felony when you have two willing idiots? Now: hitting an unwilling victim for fun might properly be felonious. And intentionally getting hit by an unwilling driver might properly be felonious.

    Similarly, in Germany, they're re-trying a manslaughter case in which one man killed and ate "an apparantly willing victim" (National Public Radio; I have no link). I might take that to felony, but I'm not sure.

    At any rate, for these two boys, I'd advocate for a costly civil infraction, or a misdemeanor at worst. And I don't think the driver is any more to blame than the...uhhh....target.

    I was wondering about that myself. The "victim" was quite literally asking for what he got, and he's still around to confirm thif fact. If he died it might be a different story.

    sure it does, they had a good chance to wipe one of the morons from the gene pool. Furthermore, now that the news of their stupidity is out, they will have more trouble finding dates (at least we can only hope)
