Hit and Run drivers drive me crazy!

No one should ever benefit from committing a crime. Way too often people who injure and kill leave the scene of the carnage they caused. Many turn themselves in after the alcohol has left their system. Others don't even do that and are only found after painstaking investigations. When they are prosecuted they face a class E felony if they have killed or Class A misdemeanor if they have injured. If intoxicated when they killed or injured, the penalty would have been much greater. They benefit by committing the crime of leaving the scene. They also show the world what matters to them and it is not the poor injured of deceased person they left on the roadside. Their fellow human beings are nothing to them. They exhibit by their actions what they value.
In the Sevierville newspaper a story is told about two young men who allegedly ran into a woman on a horse with their cars. The woman suffered injuries. The horse died. The young men kept going. The young men are presumed innocent. Eventually the Courts will sort out any culpability issues. In the meantime we should remember our great responsibility to care for one another in times of need. Never accept that leaving a crash scene is anything less than immoral and horrible!
