Was that before or after he appeared on Fox & Friends gushing over Obamamessiah and his trip overseas?

We visited DC in Feb.
Pedestrians are constantly stepping out into the streets.
The law gives them the right of way, but it’s difficult to have quick enough reaction to keep from hitting them.

I remember their local news was talking about a sharp increase in accidents with pedestrians.

I think it would be VERY EASY to be involved in this type of accident in DC.

He needs to use the approved AARP excuse: “Sorry officer, I must have accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake”.

He got lost in a fantasy thinking he was Batman racing across Gotham to defeat the Joker (James Carville).

If this witness is correct Novack should be in jail and should be there for a long time.

i live in NoVA and work in DC and i’ve never hit a soul : ) yes, i am sure there is much more jay walking than elsewhere, but Novak’s problem is his aggressive driving combined with probably slowed reflexes. i hope that he was at least properly horrified by what he’d done. i would have nightmares about it, were it me.

If eternal justice could be had here in the temporal, then the pedestrian would have been Helen Thomas

The witne3ss says that the pedestrian was in the crosswalk crossing on a green light. He also says that guy was splayed across the windshield and rolled off and Novack just kept driving. If this is the case I hope he does time.

Look at the video. Novak appears to be lying about not seeing the pedestrian. What say you?

i am very familiar with the area where it happened and there are always hordes of people crossing there, you just have to wait and yeah, you may even miss your light altogehter. sounds horribly inexcusable if it happened as the witness reports.

Sounds a bit like (CNN) Jack Cafferty’s hit-and-run incident in NY in which he mowed down a cyclist and drove through several red lights with the guy’s bike wedged under his Cadillac and then claimed not to have realized that anything had happened.
