Woman runs teens over for revenge
 
Quote:

Monday, December 06, 2004

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — A woman ran over two teenage brothers after they accidentally hit her sport utility vehicle with a golf ball they were bouncing in a parking lot, officials said. One of the boys suffered life-threatening injuries.

The 14- and 16-year-old boys were bouncing the golf ball in a shopping center parking lot Sunday afternoon when it went astray and struck the SUV driven by 47-year-old Kathy Feaganes Allen (search), sheriff's Deputy Greg Suchy said.

No damage was done, and the boys apologized and began to walk away, Suchy said. Allen started to drive away, but suddenly made a U-turn, ran over a median and struck the teens before knocking over a light pole, Suchy said.

She then allegedly went after a third brother, but did not hit him. A witness said that after the SUV came to rest, Allen got out of the car and smoked a cigarette with the boys lying on the ground in pain.

"She charged them. This was the most deliberate act," witness Russell McPhee said. "After she ran them down, she got out of the car and lit a cigarette like a movie star."

Isiah Grayer, 14, was in critical condition Monday. His 16-year-old stepbrother, Justin Marshman, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

A judge ordered Allen held without bail Monday on three counts of attempted murder. She is being represented by the St. Johns County Public Defender's Office, which did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

people are seriously screwed up.

mikeflca 6th December 2004 23:13

it is generally understood that women hold more grudges than men.......:weird: :igor: :confused:

Bilbo Baggins 6th December 2004 23:59

Another reason to a growing encyclopedia as to why women shouldnt drive.

On a serious note, perhaps some sort of psychological test will be drafted into the driving tests for people?

guns dont kill people, soccer moms kill people

shakey_snake 7th December 2004 00:13

Yeah right, and then incorperate the same thing into reproduction licensing, and then we could have an upper party, a lower party, and proles. and then everything would be happy! ;) :rolleyes: :igor: :weird: :eek: :down:

Another reason pissed off people don't need to drive SUV's. SUV's are like tanks and a pissed off person in a tank never results in good things happening.

Mattress 7th December 2004 02:44

you can do just as much damage to a human with a mini if you hit them and run them over

deeder7001 7th December 2004 06:06

SUV drivers need to stop acting like they own the road(at least in california they do). 80mph and 10ft from my rear bumper...bastards:mad:

zootm 7th December 2004 10:14

Anyone else reminded of that Simpsons episode where Marge gets an SUV?

(Canyonerrroooo...)

Wrong. In most cases people hit by a car land on the hood. Since SUV's ride higher the likelyhood of a human body going underneath the vehicle is much more likely.

In addition:

Light trucks crashing into cars accounts for the majority of fatalities in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions

2,000 people would still be alive if their vehicles had been hit by a heavy car instead of an SUV

80 percent of car and SUV owners strongly that automakers should make safety changes to SUVs that would make the roads safer for car occupants

While SUVs pose serious safety problems for their occupants, recent studies are showing that SUVs are greatly increasing the danger on our roads for drivers and passengers in other cars. Federal information shows that although light trucks account for one-third of all registered vehicles, traffic crashes between a light truck and any other vehicle now account for the majority of fatalities in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions. Of the 5,259 fatalities caused when light trucks struck cars in 1996, 81 percent of the fatally injured were occupants of the car.(9) In multiple-vehicle crashes, the occupants of the car are four times more likely to be killed than the occupants of the SUV.(10) In a side-impact collision with an SUV, car occupants are 27 times more likely to die.(11)

They do everywhere because they're not going to be the ones hurt in an accident - so why should they give a shit?

deeder7001 7th December 2004 15:13

they better start giving a shit, it's MY life on the line and them asswipes need to realize that. maybe i should just become a cop and start ticketing thier asses.

If I would have said that I would have gotten flamed by the whiners here.


Anyway, people like this should be drug out into the middle of a parking lot and shot in front of a crowd. There's no need for a trial, you know the stupid bitch is guilty. She's a waste of air and we shouldn't have to spend a dime trying to defend her in court and keeping her locked up. One volunteer with a gun would solve the problem of dealing with her.

shakey_snake 7th December 2004 19:01

The driver sounds like she's a typical Mom.

CaboWaboAddict 7th December 2004 21:27

I'd bet she'll blame Bush...

"OMFG I'm just so distraught over the election..."

Bilbo Baggins 7th December 2004 23:05

How about, instead lynching her, we use the justice system for what it is, and send her to court?

Totally agree.

Irony is reading this thread this morning and watching the morning traffic reports at the same time. There were nine major accidents here today - every single one involved an SUV ... ironically one of the accidents involved TEN SUV's and another was an SUV that hit another SUV and flipped over.

'nuff said.

Far as a lynching that's wrong and a waste of rope. Instead I think she shound be hit by her own vehicle so she can feel what the kid she tried to run over felt. Eye for an eye.

Actually you might be right. A bill was brought to debate on forcing vehicle makers to lower SUV's to the same height all other vehicles are, make them more fuel efficent and lowering the headlights to a level mandated for all other vehicles as suggested by the NTSB. Bush and the GOP killed the bill in 2002 at the urging of the manufacturers.

Hey, you brought it up, not me.

Mattress 8th December 2004 03:14

I wish that bill had passed, I hate driving behind SUVs at night, blinding. They should ban those xeon or whatever headlights too.

Whiteness... Blinding... I feel myself being drawn towards the light... SMASH!

deeder7001 8th December 2004 03:19

i don't like it when i'm on the freeway at night and some idiot, in an SUV or full size truck, just gets behind me with the high beams on. if too much light gets into the cab of the car i'm driving i won't be able to see out the windshield.

ShyShy 8th December 2004 04:56

Those lights are a pain in the ass. I drive a Cavalier and my mirror (actually all of them) line right up with those lights from a higher vehicle. :igor:

The whole SUV thing annoys the hell out of me. Especially, since a good portion of them are just for show.

Also, why do four adults living in the same house need a SUV EACH!!!?! :squinty:

deeder7001 8th December 2004 05:07

my grandma has an SUV i don't think she needs but she uses the damn thing like it was her only vehicle. i don't like it when she drives 80mph on the freeway in the thing either. scares the hell out of me even though i'm in an SUV.

I could be wrong here since I've only been driving for 19 years, but if you're driving behind a SUV and its headlights are bothering you then you're doing something wrong.

Mattress 8th December 2004 19:00

oops, you know what I meant

dlichterman 10th December 2004 02:30

i have a corolla, i HATE SUVs and those XEON lights/brights, god fucking dam turn off ur brights people. I wish i had an AT4 mounted on my car

Omega X 10th December 2004 06:22

LOL! blind mofos...they do that here too...

The same goes for Old people in giant Oldsmobile sedans and Lincoln Grand Marquis.

Not to mention that they can't see the signs on the road with thier giant bi-focals so they drive up the wrong ramp on the highway and kill perfectly good drivers... :igor:

nybergh 10th December 2004 22:04

European cars!

k_rock923 11th December 2004 01:19

why would anybody want an SUV with these through the roof gas prices. My car uses too much gas already. I couldn't imagine how much money I would waste on gas by driving a tank around.

godoncrack 11th December 2004 04:16

$80-$400 depending on if you are me or are not me

deeder7001 11th December 2004 07:11

when i was driving i'd spend probably $80-$150 a month.
