When I was 27 years old I did not want to be referred to as “a young girl.” My condolences to the family.

True that. But I’m 74 and any female under 50 is a “young girl” to me these days. ;>)

My heart just breaks. The poor young woman was working TWO JOBS and was taking the bus. She sounds like a hard working, serious woman. Tears in my eyes for her and her family.

The headline says it all: Heartbreak.

The good people. The people who work hard. The people who hold a second job. The responsible people who work hard and plan for the future. The people who plan for marriage and family. Yes HEARBREAK to see the best of us mowed down by mud people.

Is Assmaa Elayyat even a US citizen?
They give high paying government jobs to aliens all the time in demoncrat run states.
Was she driving impaired or was it deliberate?
She went up over a curb and ran over her twice:
“There were people at the scene notifying us, the person kind of reversed and tried leaving, and did go over her body again,”

The internet traces a name like that to Egypt, Islamic.

Untouchable.

Assmaa Elayyat, 41, who works for San Diego county, as the Deputy Director for Self-Sufficiency Services

Sounds like one of those homeless outreach NGO grifter jobs, of which there are many in California.

And these lucrative jobs ain't going to guys named James or Bill, only Stars Wars named people like Assmaa.

Given the killer’s name I would suspect that she was not impaired by alcohol. Just speculation here.

What excuse will a liberal judge use to release this killer and reduce any charges to a routine traffic violation with just a fine and no jail time?

Here in America, a “young girl” is a just a kid. If she’s 27 years old and engaged to be married, she’s a younger woman.
