As I’ve said, this particular case is different. But why would the majority of hit and runs involve injuries? The majority of car accidents do not involve serious injuries. The ones that make the news do, but most accidents are minor
I've no idea why you're wriggling so very hard to exonerate the police here but it is a really fucking terrible look. HTH
I’m not? I’ve said multiple times that this case is different.
Once more, people, in general, should not be locked up for causing minor damage to another vehicle, even when they flee the scene.
As I have said MULTIPLE times, if the hit and run involves targeting a person or a major crash that injures someone, that is different
No one has argued for anyone to be locked up for causing minor damage to inanimate objects.
If you are unwilling to grapple with the details of this offender and/or unable to quit your knee-jerk defence of the police persistently ignoring the crimes of predators, just keep your fucking mouth shut.
Except people have disagreed with my statements?
I’m not talking about the article, I’ve already discussed that in other threads. Of course they fucked up and should have more aggressively pursued Pham.
You're on the wrong thread. I don't care that you got here because you're an idle blabbermouth who prefers spouting words to reading them. It's well past time for you to fuck off.
Idk why you’re so mad, we literally agree on this? And I read the article, dude.
