Crime Chinese cops leave body of boy racer in street to deter speeders

[KaerfNomekop]

Tao Lung, 28, was racing against another car at speeds of over 150mph through the streets of Kunming, Yunnan province, when another car pulled out of a house and caused one of the two racers to crash after it failed to brake in time.

Lung was driving a Jaguar F-Type sports car that struck the kerb and a hit a tree, tearing the roof and a wheel off the car and throwing Lung out of the car onto the road, where he was run over by the car he was racing against.

He was killed instantly and the second car and the driver have not been found.

Residents said they were fed up with people racing on the street, and warned police it was only a matter of time before there was an accident.

One said: "Because the people here who drive fast are rich the police don't want to tackle them."

Police at the scene chose not to cover up Lung's boyd, instead leaving it fully exposed to show what can happen from speeding through residential streets.

Another resident added: "I think they wanted to get the message across that driving like this has a cost, sometimes its more than someone might want to pay.

"I think that was why they left the body lying there for so long."

The body was taken away after more than an hour of lying exposed to pedestrians and motorists.

Only for an hour. Doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me. Maybe it will help out, and there's no harm done if it doesn't.

I thought this is exactly what those street racers want. Those who aint fast enough or cant control their cars die a violent death and the other guy comes out alive and without punishment.
Now the winner gets media attention to honour his win. And as a trophy he can look down on the corpse of his unworthy opponent.

The dead idiot made a terrible mistake. But it's still "Disrespectful and Disgusting" what the police did! Some dignity they should show. At least for his family's sake!

This is how all competitions should work.

I feel sorry for the family who had to deal with the embarrassment and sorrow of their loss.
