From the supplier: Survivors of dangerous games such as drag racing or Russian roulette in which others die should not be considered guilty of homicide. The underlying dangerous activity should be criminalized and penalized more severely instead of distorting the doctrines of causality and complicity to cover such cases, as some courts have done. Those who take excessive risks and luckily survive should be punished as excessive risk-takers, not as harm-causers to those who do not survive.
