First, prayers for those injured.

This is an amazing story.

I started reading about all the horrible, unbelievable damage this SUV had caused. And I'm thinking to myself, "Gee, I wonder if the SUV had to be trained to do this kind of damage or maybe it did by instinct?"

Finally, I get to paragraph eleven and discover the SUV had a DRIVER. Whew! I thought for sure we had another case of a SUV gone wild.

This is a perfect example of the kind of POS journalists being produced by the journalism colleges today. Crap!

Sorry, I don't believe this. SUVs don't drive themselves...I bet there was a GUN behind the wheel!

The Honda was registered to Mauro H. Yan and Lorenza Y. Yan, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Yan Can't Drive.

"All I can say is for some unknown reason the SUV lost control,"

Every journalist knows instinctively that pretty much every SUV is out of control.

KRPC Radio Houston just ran a news item.

The headline was essentially SUV jumps curb, attacks elementary school children in California.

Those SUVs are getting as mean as pitbull dogs.

On a serious note, they reported that the driver is an undentified lone male, and several children were hurt.

This must be at least the hundredth story I have read that accuses SUVs of causing accidents or killing people.

If you saw these stories occasionally, OK, so reporters these days are kind of dumb and don’t know how to write properly. They are better trained in leftist ideology than grammar. But is seems as if EVERY SUV story does the same thing.

It seems as if the MSM hates SUVs even more than they hate President Bush.

The most bizarre sentence in this report is this one:

“All I can say is for some unknown reason the SUV lost control,” Fry said.

The SUV lost control? Control of what, its driver? How can an inanimate object LOSE CONTROL?

Clearly we need SUV Control measures to be passed. Only the police need SUVs.

Sarcasm? Of course.

the SUV lost control

According to reports, the SUV had been doing a fine job of driving up to this point. Police are speculating it have have been distracted by a nice looking pickup truck.

My screen name is linked to my husband’s FR name, Pan Yan. He enjoyed works by the author Henryk Sienkiewicz. In the book, With Fire and Sword, Pan Yan is a main character. Funny, though... on FR I am often mistaken as being Asian. :)

What was this SUV doing, yapping on its cell phone? What was it, halfway through the article before the author mentioned that the SUV contained a - gasp - driver?

After reading the story, I wanted to make my own sarcastic statement about the Suv having a mind of it’s own and so many beat me to it. Too bad for the kids but this is so poorly written by making the inanimate object animated.

It was smoking to cover the smell of gun powder on its breath. It didn't want people to know it was driving around half cocked!

It depends on the breed. This one may have been a Pit Bull SUV. Very unpredictable.
