This was an accident to start with, maybe, but it certainly turned into a hate crime

I'd have to respectfully disagree with you on that. It was a horrible tragedy caused by an idiot driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and the fact that she left him in the windshield to die is abhorent. However, I don't see anything racial in it.

That doesn't matter anyway, they'll throw the book at this stupid b*tch. And she deserves it.

What gets me....Just how does a person drive a mile to her house with the head and shoulders of the body embedded into her windshield and the legs dangling on the front hood? Unless this is what people normally see in the neighborhood she was driving through then why the hell didn't anyone call 911? What the heck is wrong with people these days????

I recall in some original postings the woman was voicing rather strong racial epithets toward the white victim to her friends. Does anyone else recall that?

However, I don't see anything racial in it.

I didn't see the racial angle until today.

The testimony from Fry yesterday stated specifically that Mallard called her and said that she had hit "a white guy". It stood out in her comments.

Oddly, this was the first time I had heard that the victim was white and I am in the Dallas media area. You have to ask if the races were reversed, wouldn't this have been a MAJOR issue?

I have looked for it and cant find it. But I read somewhere on the internet about remarks she made according to the racial lines. I wish I had copied them but didnt.
I know it is hersey but the problem needs to be addresses rather than swept under the rug.
Dont fool yourself about the verdict and her stupidity.
