Reckon I'll leave his guilt up to a judge and jury. ( thought of you in my evening prayers last night; didn't like the tone of "see you soon"; made me sad ) Anyway, axehandlebill; What would Jesus do? Try Luke 13:27.

Was he driving a Toyota with a sticking gas pedal. He might have been in shock after it happened. Are we sure he is guilty yet.

I hope some people here remember this and don't go crazy like the Zimmerman case...We know he hit the boys and maybe he didn't have the right mind at the time to stay and call for help..but he did hit the boys and the boys died from his actions...so my question is, what is the right thing to do to him now? We can forgive him, but we won't forget what he did. We can kill him too, and that won't bring the two boys back. Or we could just put him in jail for the rest of his life and make him remember everyday why he is in jail...What would Jesus do?

The one on Cantrell was much different, the driver stopped, and the kids ran out into the street, this thug hit the kids on the sidewalk and hit the gas.

Wonder why we're hearing about this one but the story about the two kids that were hit on Cantrell was covered up...

Probably high on the smack when he ran those two kids over.
