A young man in Hangzhou, China was hit and killed by a red Mitsubishi Evo sports car that was racing with two other expensive sports cars a few nights ago. Chinese netizens are outraged and afraid that the rich will be able to break the law and avoid trouble by using their money. The police statements after the accident have made Chinese people even more angry.

Hu Bin’s family has paid Tan Zhuo’s family 1.13 million RMB as compensation for their son accidentally hitting and killing Tan Zhuo while street-racing in Hangzhou. Hu Bin was driving 84-101 km/h when he ran into Tan Zhuo who was crossing the street at a crosswalk.

Although this compensation should not affect Hu Bin’s criminal liability, many people are afraid that Tan Zhuo’s family accepting the money will allow Hu Bin to escape the punishment he should receive according to the law. They believe that accepting the compensation shows that they will no longer pursue the case, so why should the government pursue this case further?
