The Tennessee school bus driver charged in a wreck that killed five elementary school kids allegedly asked the students if they were "ready to die" as he raced down a narrow Chattanooga road, a parent said.

Johnthony Walker was speeding "well above" the posted speed limit and lost control of the bus before it flipped over and wrapped around a tree, police wrote in an arrest affidavit.

Walker, 24, is charged with five counts of vehicular homicide for the deaths of five Woodmore Elementary School students: three fourth graders, a first grader and a kindergartner. None of the children - four girls and a boy - have been identified.

Another dozen students remained hospitalized Tuesday morning, six of whom are in critical condition.

Walker's mom described him as a responsible young man and a good dad to his 3-year-old son ... a marvelous son ... a respected young man.

I often ask people if they know what the schools are teaching their kids.
I should also ask them, do you know who’s driving them to school?

Ok, that is new input to me. Go medieval on his arse. Same fate as was meted out in the 1200’s. Drawn, bowels taken out and burned before him, hung by the neck (choke, not break), then quartered.
