Had to flee to throw the pot out of her car?

This is an outrage! There should have been no plea bargain with this killer, that’s right, I said killer, because for all she cared or knew, she had killed that little girl. She drove off after hitting the girl and the impact tossed her little body over 70 feet thru the air, where she then came down on the hard pavement smashing her bones and burning off her skin with abrasions as she slid to a stop. Nice picture is it not? A message needs to be sent to drivers in Ocean City, and the state, we are going to be tough on scofflaws! But alas, we have to be PC, and not be too harsh on Africans, after all that would be disapproving, and we can’t do that, or we could be called a racist, so we will just give her PBJ or a suspended sentence.

Agreed. You idiots keep voting for Democrats and this country will be lost forever.

Gerald, In this particular case the charge she pleaded to was amended up to a felony as opposed to the usual amending down to a lesser charge.
