Yes...but did the SUV have a gun? Now that would have been a double beni for lib column writers.

So the cab making an illegal turn had nothing to do with it? Most cabs I've been in either don't have seat belts or don't enforce usage. It would have been nice if the story had mentioned if the passenger was using seat belts.

No, far easier to blame the SUV. Though the driver of the SUV should be brought up on charges as well.

Best Regards

Even with record gas prices, the SUV managed to sneak out of its owner's garage and commit murder.

STOP THE CARNAGE!

With the season of bewitchment upon us, perhaps the writers were under the spell of a recent viewing of "Christine."

The SUVs are coming! The SUVs are coming!

The driver was probably a gun-toting anti-abortion-rights homophobic white Christian male.

No, if it's an SUV it did the killing on it's own. On the other hand, had it been a Honda, the driver would have been responsible.
