BS There is evil in all of us and for some people it doesn't take much effort to bring it out.

Fortunately, however, they are still in the minority.

Nonsense--the skid marks showed she changed direction in a controlled manner AND crossed the road to hit the cyclist--the other four people will be used to prove premeditation, but she definitely would have been charged with some degree of murder even without them.

Whoa. That must be the definition of Hell on Earth. Sucks to be you dude. Thanks for the insight though I just thought you had lost your cotton picking mind.

Actually you are quite wrong. TBH I thought this was a completely different thread. I thought this was your earlier thread or Joey's, but this is a completely different story and the BIG difference between this story and any other similar story that has been posted in A&S about a cyclist/motorist collision is that the driver is usually able to at least prove no homicidal intent! Sadly, if they are texting and kill someone it is considered a tragic accident. When it's deliberate that's a horse of a different color and in this case and others like it, the driver is going to spend time in prison.

Never!

I live in a city that is majority not white. Any statement I make here about my city has about a 60% chance of referring to a non-white person. My father was an athlete and mom was a pro ballet dancer. My life has always been full of non-white and gay people, including relatives by blood and marriage. One good thing about New Orleans - you better be socially liberal or we will run you out of here.

Who's the troll here? Who is reading racial overtones into statements that have no such content?

You.

Well I wasn't talking about this thread specifically. But do I have it right on the rest of it then?

You are entitled to your opinion and interpretation of anyone's posts on the Internet. I have not seen any of your claims (that I can think of) that I could blame you for voicing. Except race baiting. Speaking or which.....
