Most shocking! Condolences to the two victims and their families!

Extremely shocking that the driver did the thing which has become all too common: Run like a coward and disappear into the night, not giving a da*n whether he/she could have been of assistance to the ones he/she hit!

This despicable action alone should be punished with a twenty year sentence!

This is a tragedy!

Condolances to the family,

the hit and run, is scared out of his/her tree right now. They will likely turn themself in. Give it a day or two.
I say vigilantism should be allowed back, the crooks and weirdos get waaayyy to much slack in ths kind of stuff. By the time he gets to court ( if he ever does) it will have been a couple of weeks if we're lucky and he'll get a year or two or more likely community hours. If I kill someone for breaking into my house I go to jail for 20 years. I say to even things out, one chases them down, runs them over and never turn yourself in. One has a much better chance of leniency if one appears to be a criminal than a common citizen. If I could find away around it I would have an assault weapon in my house and I would be praying for some freak to come visit me. Right now my hunting rifle will have to do. I know a bit ridiculous, but people joke about it and its true, the criminals have more rights than the innocent, and those in justice will argue that its not their fault..really?? then whose is it? Two innocent women get killed and what will happen? if they catch them, they might get jail time?? they should be hung, burned and their remains buried in a septic field. I have had it with scum bags who get away with killing people. I think we should have open season on them!!!
Thanks for letting me rant, There is too much death these days and not enough responsibility taken for it. And its not accpetable!
Some drinking drivers who cause an accident make a run for it so they can sleep off the booze somewhere and turn themselves in the next day when they are sober.

Condolences to the families. I pray dad can recover from watching his wife's death so that he may raise his four children and that family and friends will help by stepping in at this horrific time.
My thoughts and prays are with all your families that have been left behind.
He was probably texting or drunk or both.

highlanderpg: I think you've got the right idea. Let's learn a lesson from Egypt and take back the power we have given away to the courts. Very unpopular sentences should be demonstrated against with such a hullabaloo that they will be revisited.
\this case will be solved within the next day or so and the P.O.S. that did it will be in cells.
