You are the one that uses words without having a clue as to what they mean. Yet, I am the one failing here? Ok got it.
You are not getting my point about outlets like Tmz. Big Money does not care about Tmz because they know uncritical people like yourself won't take what they report seriously. It just like the stories from Into The Buzzsaw. There is case after case of the big names in media suppressing stories because they might offend the special interests. The stories cannot get played on the big networks. If the reporter wants to get their story out there, they have to go to less traditional outlets. The fact of the matter is that investigative reporters have to go to outlets like Tmz, if they want to reach a broad audience. That is just how it works in the media today. Hence Tmz is more likely to report on things like the missing camera than say CNN, FOX, ABC etcetera. This does not mean that Tmz is clean as snow. It just means that they are more likely publish certain things because of who they are. The big money interest namely NASCAR will not be offended by Tmz's reporting. That's why they are not buying them out.

TMZ is basically a gossip column, thats all they are. and anything they can find that will add to the gossip is going to go into their reports even if they are not true. if there was a camera on tonys car, you can bet that the police either have it, or they know it was there. you really cant hide a mount for such a camera. and if tony or crew tried to hide such a camera, you can bet there would be a flurry of activity at the courthouse trying to get a hold of said camera, and as far as i know there isnt any such activity. its also likely that if there is such a camera, and it has evidence that would exonerate tony, or even just cast enough doubt on the case, you can bet that footage would have been released and the case would be over.
GoPro mounts are tiny and easily removable. Even if the mount were left on the car, it could be easily overlooked.

I don't know why this is even being debated. There are a few fundamental facts here:
1) The universal rule of racing is you do not exit your vehicle during a race unless it is on fire, and in that event you run OFF the track and not ON it.
2) Kevin Ward violated rule #1 because he was a hot headed moron.
3) Regardless of whether he jumped at Stewart's car (which I now believe is what happened) or simply got too far onto the track in his rage and inadvertently got run over, it is ultimately irrelevant. There is no one to blame for Ward's death other than Kevin Ward himself. He is a lock for this year's Darwin award.
4) There will be no criminal charges against Tony Stewart. Kevin Ward's parents might try a civil suit, but that would be a lost case as well with the only hope of payment being a settlement if Stewart's attorneys deem that fighting the case would be more costly.
Your universal rule does not appear in the track's rule book or the rule book of the sanctioning body. There might be a recommendation. But, there is not any rule.

It is an absolutely universal rule (or common ****ing sense, if that makes you feel better) of ANY motorsport. I have about 100 passes down a drag strip and know of this rule. Whether it was actually codified in their rule book is irrelevant. Kevin Ward was profoundly stupid and ignored the rule, and it resulted in Tony Stewart splattering his ass across the track.
You might as well let it go. You clearly have no experience or understanding of motorsports and there have been no objective facts to support your assertion that Tony Stewart hit Ward intentionally.
If it is not in the rule book, it's not a rule. Everyone that says this stuff is blaming the victim. It is not Kevin Ward's fault that Stewart gassed the car and murdered him. I am just curious. Would you blame your daughter for getting raped, if she wore a short dress the night of her rape?

Another illustration of your ignorance of the sport. Theres plenty of tracks around the country that have plenty of rules not written in a book that violation of will get you fined or banned from participation. Happens every day at racetracks allover the world. All you have to do is violate one directive given during a drivers meeting to be punished. At a track it most certainly does NOT have to be in writing to be an enforceable rule. Anyone who has one race under their belt knows that is a fact of the sport.
Its Kevin Wards fault for running out into traffic while not thinking straight and all charged up emotionally. Just like when a drunk knows no better and wanders out into street traffic. When not impaired by substances or a juvenile emotional tirade both know that running out into traffic is a very unwise and unsafe thing to do, yet when not thinking clearly they lose sight of self preservation and do something incredibly foolish.
In the instance of someone running into traffic only a complete moron would be surprised that such an action would commonly end in great bodily injury or death. Just as you would not be shocked by someone being struck by a bullet when running out onto a live target range, being struck by a car in this circumstance is entirely predictable if youre smarter than the average summer squash.
You obviously have your own agenda Spinoza, as since your sign up to the forum your first 3 pages of posts were on this one subject. Im surprised you find enough time to have these concerns being so busy sexually abusing young alter boys with priests as I read about you doing from several sources earlier on. In the end though, only God can judge both you and Tony Stewart after any misdeeds so theres that.
This is obviously a "Do as I say not as I do" kind of command. How is that ignore function working for you?

This troll already got the same thread in the Automotive forum shutdown, better to ignore the baiter. Ignore function works wonderfully.

Why should you care?
Unless it's for baiting purposes, which is what it appears to be.
