On Friday night in Connecticut, Joe Biden delivered one of his most odd and clumsy speeches when he said the phrase God save the Queen, made reference to his 110 years of age and repeated a line from what he wrongly claimed to be an old John Wayne film.

Also, as he walked off the platform, he appeared to be lost and a stage assistant had to come up to help.

President Joe Biden Speech Raises Questions

But, the President accelerated and jogged ahead of him just as the assistant reached out to grab his arm.

The purpose of Mr. Biden’s trip to West Hartford, Connecticut, was to serve as the keynote speaker at the National Safety Communities Summit, where he was introduced by Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.

Nine months after attending her funeral, he concluded his address with an odd reference to Queen Elizabeth II, and he then looked uncertain about which way to exit the platform.

Varied State Laws and Owner Responsibility

In his statement on Friday, Biden emphasized his call for new legislation that would outlaw high-capacity magazines and semiautomatic rifles of the AR-15 design as well as hold gun owners accountable for the improper storage of their guns.

“If any of you pulled into this parking lot today, got out of your car, and left your key inside, and a child, say, 13 or 14 years old, came along, got in your car, took it for a joyride, and killed someone, guess what? You are accountable,” Biden said.

The general common law rule across the 50 states is that the owner of a stolen car will not be held accountable for damages when the vehicle is stolen and then involved in an accident that results in injury or property damage, according to the insurance-focused Claims Journal.

Although some states and cities have laws that prohibit an owner from leaving keys in an unlocked vehicle or otherwise hold the owner liable, [and] the liability of the owner will typically depend on the facts of the case, the journal notes that these laws vary from state to state and city to city.

According to a list of state legislation and case law created by the legal firm Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer, car owners may be held liable for traffic violations in Hawaii, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Washington, DC.

Courts in other jurisdictions, such as Connecticut and New Jersey, have determined that the owner can be held accountable if leaving the keys in the car led to a theft that was anticipated owing to elements like other recent vehicle thefts in the neighborhood.
