    A woman who was arrested on Saturday after she drove a truck through a youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas – killing a boy and a man – has been released from custody without charges pending further investigation, according to authorities.

    Once again, the best way to do some murder is with a car. People just accept it

      God forbid we look at our society and figure out why the elderly need to drive at all and fix our neighborhoods, and then follow it up with actually testing and revoking licenses. South park parodied this now over 20 years ago.

        RTFA. She’s a 34yo mom. Not saying you’re wrong, but that doesn’t apply in this case.

    Guarantee she’s white & reasonably well-to-do. Only Caucasians get such privileged treatment.

      You very much underestimate “carbrain” - not just the driver, but very much so in juries and judges.

          The odd thing is that it is very inclusive, race or gender or other silly divisive thing counts less when it is about cars.

            Okay, so I’m afraid I’m still having trouble connecting the dots here. How does society’s general dependence upon cars lead to the police releasing the driver despite having killed two people? History has long shown that would be much less likely to happen for someone who’s not Caucasian, and - while I can see “carbrain” being a contributor to how the situation has been handled - I highly doubt it’s the overriding factor as you seem to suggest.

    “Hurt” sounds like she stepped on their toe or something or is it just me?
