God, I've been sitting here for an hour watching the memorial procession for the officers who were killed here in Pittsburgh on Saturday, then I come onto Deadspin and find this.
@Juancho: I guess Steve Phillips hasn't had a chance to analyze the situation and use his brilliant GM acumen to second-guess Adenhart's decision to go home instead of staying at the park for an extra two minutes.
Good gracious. And I drive a Mitsubishi! (2007 Galant)
Ironically, said Mitsubishi was purchased after I was in a horrible accident that totaled my Oldsmobile. Thanks to God and the good American iron it was, it crumpled like a champ and the airbags went off. I walked away without a scratch, I didn't even have any soreness or whiplash.
This whole thing makes me want to cry. That's a sad Easter for the Adenhart family and the Angels. And anyone who loves baseball, really.
Very sad. I would take this opportunity to remind people that just because you have a green light and someone else has a red, doesn't mean they are going to stop. Always look. I can count 3 times in my life where if I wasn't paying attention, I would have at least had my car totaled by some idiot flooring it coming the other way.
I was the second car at a light last month. It turned green, and the car in front of me proceeded through the light, and got t-boned by a speeding SUV.
Her little girl was ejected from the vehicle, and suffered an open skull fracture. The whole scene was terrifying.
I followed the local news for a few days, and everybody was okay, but it was the scariest thing I've ever seen.
@Kid Canada: It's like that in Europe too, and somehow I think it makes it safer. You have to be alert for this kind of driving. Whenever I drive in NYC, I'm concentrating like a Nascar driver.
Two USC students were hit about a week ago, and the people in the car stopped to peel the guy off the hood. The girl hit was killed. A 7 year got hit yesterday or the day before and the driver and passenger stopped to ask the kid and his brother to not say anything. What the hell is wrong with people? And if this guy who caused this tragedy turns out to be drunk, he should not come out of prison.
@Father of 2 Future First Rounders: Every time I hear about the drive WHO TRIED TO TAKE A CELLPHONE AWAY FROM A 7 YEAR OLD WHO HE JUST HIT I get so pissed I cannot see straight. You fucking hit a child and then you try to bully him into not telling? What the fuck is that guy's problem?
@Father of 2 Future First Rounders: People for the most part are cowards, and care much more about what might happen to them legally than the fate of the person they just hurt. That doesn't justify it, just explain it.
If you need some support from a fellow compatriot during such difficult times, I'm here for you. I'll even put my pants back on if that makes you more comfortable.

My prayers to the family...I hope the guilty party gets life, but know he'll get five years max.

In Montreal, street lights are generally considered to be non-binding polite suggestions as to who should go and who should stop.

Not sure. Seems obvious that the tag / VIN is going to point the cops to the right person.
Maybe people think lawyers can find loopholes. Too many crime dramas on TV?
