Paul Walker from "The Fast & the Furious" dead at 40 in car crash

The Nikki pictures changed the way I drive and still do until this day.

I can't look at Paul Walker's pics -- this might be the most affected I've been by a (Hollywood) celebrity death. Don't want to remember him that way.

PAUL WALKER DEATH

HUGE CAR RALLY PLANNED AS TRIBUTE

Paul Walker will be remembered by thousands of auto enthusiasts this weekend with a huge, noisy car rally ... but TMZ has learned law enforcement will be out in force ... gunning for any reckless drivers.

The car meet is scheduled to begin at noon on Hercules Street ... near the spot where Walker and Roger Rodas died in the fiery crash of their Porsche Carrera GT last weekend.

More than 20,000 people are expected to show up -- that's a lot of vehicles. City officials are urging locals to avoid the area altogether.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they'll be ready for trouble, too ... with a highly visible police presence to make sure the event goes off safely.

We're told ... anyone caught doing burnouts or driving recklessly will be cited ... and could have their car impounded on the spot.

With the numbers expected of course police will be out in force & with that number of peoe why wouldn't anyone driving recklessly etc be cited? Idiot fucking reporters.

I have seen alot of gore and all, but those really upset me to the core. From what I understand, two CHP dispatch supervisors leaked her photos and broke policy, as those photos were't just sent to her parents (they are so gruesome, the Coroner refused to let her parents identify her by those photos. They are that bad). They were sent to their collegues and then the whole world. What sucks about this case, is that they only got a 25 day suspension and when Nikki's parents went after the CHP legally, A judge ruled that there was no law that allowed it to be punishable. They appealed and was awarded over 2 million dollars( they should have been awarded way more). In Paul's case, it too looks like it was taken by rescue or the CHP and not a bystander to me. Once that tarp was removed for the Coroner to start processing the bodies, the general public would have been cleared of that area by then. I've seen bodies in worse condition than Paul and his friend. I really wish assholes wouldn't fuckin' post that shit on the internet for the families and especially the kids to see. Sorry for the manifesto, but i love gore just as much as the next person, BUT............. Somehow seeing Paul's body that way, really made me super sad.

It might be different in the US to the UK, but if the body is badly damaged to effect identity they go with personal effects first. In a Stasium fire there were enough belonging survived to ensure that dental records were a confirmation not the sole source. Also the family member involved in this was instrumental in assisting the police device a database for this sort of incident & also wanted to inpliment some sort of "markers mark" in dentures.

It is good that her death had a positive affect on some lives & the way people drive. It doesn't make "sense " of her death but at least it is something good.

I never have a problem dissing child molesters. He's right up there with Roman Polanski and Woody Allen.

FFS just because they were dating @ 16, it doesn't mean he was having sex with her.

**Sarzy** · December 7th, 2013, 03:06 PM

Alyseba - You're trolling right? He's up there with someone who drugged and raped a kid? Even if they were having sex it doesn't make him a paedophile.

Maybe it's just me because I hate cars and don't drive, but a car rally for 2 people killed in a horrific auto accident seems pretty tasteless, like having a 21 gun salute for someone who was shot to death. I know they were both mad car lovers but still, to me it's tacky.

**manningmsj** · December 7th, 2013, 04:12 PM

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think it's tacky, per se; just in poor taste. I just really hope it's safe and people don't act like assholes. Sounds like the police are prepared. Still, that's a lot of cars.

i know, it would only be worse if they had a barbeque after the rally.

I feel bad for laughing at that.

**WelshSquelch** · December 7th, 2013, 05:24 PM

Didn't the police also have to ask people to stop doing donuts and burnouts at the scene? Heard something about that on the radio a day or two after the accident and thought it was a little tacky.

Oh My God, I don't! I had to blow my nose afterwards I laughed so hard.
Annika, humor in a dark situation is always my favorite. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

I literally did not know who Walker was or care, but I'm not looking either.

Those Catsouras pics were nasty!! But not actually as bad as I thought they would be. There are worse accident victim pics on the web, unfortunately. I guess she went out like Jayne Mansfield.

Thing is, I didn't start driving until I was 26 because I was profoundly phobic about it. I have never thought that I was being silly. Driving IS really fucking dangerous and my fear was actually pretty rational. It's only by suspension of that quite sensible terror that we are able to do it so easily. Brrrr. I can't look at pics like that often or I really will have trouble getting behind the wheel again.
