You took my best friend. Not only mine but many peoples best friend. You took a son from his mother, you took a very young persons life. What gives you the right to just leave and not see if he was okay? I hope they never release a heartless sick murderer like you! But I know you will only do like 10 years. That is how it always works! You get your freedom back and a woman gets to suffer each and everyday cause you took her son! Friends have to cry everyday cause you took the 1 person they could talk to, relate to, and somebody who understood them! How do you look at yourself? How do you live with knowing you took a kids life? And what was your reason? If you had no reason, why didn't you stop to see if he was okay? I hate people like you and if you can take a life, you deserve to have yours taken! I hope you rot in hell for what you have done!

Quote: (People run over bikers and don't do time.) End Quote......well boo who... sob....sniffle..... uncontrollable crying.........waaaaaaa....... there is probably a dash of truth to that but then all kinds of crimes are committed every day that people don't do time for.........one example is people who smoke dope.......people who are or were pot heads........ as for the article if he had not been at fault he would not have left unless he lacks common sense.....very possible.........

I'll agree he was probably scared. But that's no excuse for leaving. People run over bikers and don't do time. Perhaps he had been drinking. Maybe he had drugs on him. Maybe he was just scared. We'll never know probably. But he took a life due to careless driving; he should do some time; leaving the scene will probably add to that time.

I love me some OCB (old crumy butch) in his wife beater. Just in his early thirties. Probably scared the living dodo out of him. I'd go for a lesser on this one unless there was more to his record. Why ruin a life over a tragic accident and being scared. Work time gang.

Nice wife beater he has on. Wonder if it has a FUBU tag on it.
