Meant to post this a while ago.
It only came to my attention because my mom told me about it, she told mea about this 'shocking' story of youths eating McDonalds while a man they just crashed into was dying. She thought it was terrible how young people are becoming so callous. And even though I know aussies are often first rate pricks, I told her, knowing nothing about the story, that it wasn't 'youths', cause Whites, no matter how bad, don't typically act like that, at least not as a group anyway, and that it was non-whites that did it.

A group of youths sat on the roadside and ate fast food while an elderly man lay dying from a crash involving their high-performance car, witnesses claim.
The four teenagers and one 27-year-old were travelling in a blue Subaru WRX STi when it collided with a 1974 Ford Escort panel van on Saturday at a roundabout at Miami on Queensland's Gold Coast, the Gold Coast Bulletin's website reports.
The panel van was hit with such force that it flipped onto its side, partially ejected an 82-year-old man. He suffered chest injuries and later died in hospital, while his 72-year-old partner sustained abdominal and leg injuries and remains in a critical condition.
A police media spokeswoman said the Subaru, carrying five occupants, was unregistered and the 18-year-old driver disqualified from driving.
Police also confirmed to the Bulletin that the car and its owner were known to them, having been impounded on November 13 for 48 hours for hooning offences.
Witnesses to the accident told the Bulletin they were disgusted with the youths' behaviour, saying not one of them attempted to help, and instead sat and ate McDonald's that had been dropped off to them.
"They just stood there and then they sat down and then someone dropped Maccas off to them," local resident Fabian Atzori told the Bulletin.
"What is it with young people where they can just turn off to human injury?"
A passenger of the Subaru was charged with failure to provide information to police, and three other Subaru occupants were handcuffed but not charged.
Sergeant Brendon O'Reilly said the crash investigation team were still investigating the crash to determine whether the Subaru was speeding at the time of the accident.
