WTF ...NEITHER driver stopped after they obviously ran over a body?

I can see getting hit by one douchebag in a thousand or whatever... but when 2 people don't stop, you gotta wonder....

FRAK!
Poor guy. And Frak you Fraking Hateful Cagerguys. Mofos.

I was scooting down a 4-lane urban yesterday and a mofo moved over on me. Luckily I am quick on the brakes and bars, and swung left and back in a second. Honestly, be careful folks.

I hope they find these guys and run over them a few times. Luckily, jerks tend to know someone who's decent. So I suspect that someone will rat them out soon.

You should always stop in a hit and run situation, because the majority of the time they are not going to find you at fault. My preference though is to look more than 2 ft ahead of me, so that I don't run over bodies in the road Wha? emoticon

This particular stretch of road in Jacksonville at night is pretty pitch black (a lack of street lamps and such) My own speculation is that alcohol played a role in the drivers making the choice of running.

At least they have good descriptions of the vehicles. I hope they find 'em and I bet that they do.

That's what I was thinking too... deliberate? Who knows.

How can anybody DO that? I mean really. I'm sure it was an accident but to just keep on going and not even stop to try to help the guy ... wow! I don't know how they can live with themselves!

What a waste. For the family's sake, I hope the police will find them and bring them to justice. Not much perhaps ... but it's something at least.

I don't know much about the law but I would think something like vehicular manslaughter or negligent homicide. Something along those lines... I would think that fleeing the scene would cause the judge/prosecutors to throw the book at them.
