I saw this on the Las Vegas Review Journal website. It's a security camera video of a car mowing down a bunch of church goers as the were coming out of late evening service. The driver managed to hit eight people.

But it gets worse!

The driver, after getting out to check on her car, gets back in the car and drives away. She then crashes the car and flees on foot where the police arrest her. She gives the police a fake name.

No, no, that's not the worst.

She's an 18 year old mother and the child is missing and she ain't talkin'.

Some people just really really suck!

That would have eliminated one of the more unfortunate parts of the story;-)

I count 14 ways that this is awful. 15 if just being an 18 year old mother is bad.


1-8 person hit
9 check car, not people
10 drive away
11. crash again
12 flee on foot
13 fake name
14 child missing
15 18 year old mother

I can't fault her for being an 18 year old mother alone. My own mother gave birth to my older brother when she was 18. Of course, she was and still is married to my father. They just got the spawning over with early. The young lady in this story seems somewhat less responsible.

Here's a few more things that are 'wrong'. She (and I am only using that word because authorities say she is female. From the picture released, I wouldn't have been sure) is homeless, living out of the vehicle, has no drivers license, the car is not registered and of course no insurance. But really all of that is secondary to the fact that her 1 year old son is currently unaccounted for. That just has bad news written all over it.

What were Church goers doing in Las Vegas?
Why were they out at night time during the week instead of doing their prayer prattling on Sunday Morning when motorists expect crowds to delay them?
A woman with a "missing" child.... how long did it take the woman to realize you don't need the brat you just need the brat's paperwork?

On a side note, does anything tell you that you are worshiping the wrong God more than your congregation getting hit by a car right after a service?

I shouldn't read the Review Journal or Vegas Sun either. There's some not-right-in-the-head kind of evil in Las Vegas!

The only thing I can see possibly in her favor was (when I blew the screen up full size) it looked a bunch were standing in the street, not walking.

Not that you shouldn't stand in a street in the dark in Vegas, but considering the accidents over the years I've seen, that's just asking for some other dope to run over you.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

So they should be worshiping the god that protects all
his flock from bodily harm, then. Which religion is that?

Do you know anything about religion at all? Just curious.

It's easy to jump to the wrong conclusions not knowing all the facts, but I am bothered by the fact the driver evidently is a Sudanese national somehow in this country.

Well, I am jumping to that conclusion from the article. I suppose these folks could be citizens, or the 18 year old could be.

Assuming this, when you have homeless aliens who couldnt have just walked across the border, something is very very wrong.

Glad to see the paper mentioned the victims were church goers. Never miss an opportunity to give the self loathing a chance to spew their special kind of hate.

I guess churches in Vegas can't offer any Bingo... odds are too good at the casino.

It's unusual that no one was injured. Usually when a drunk driver crashes, someone other than the drunk dies.
