Wow David, you're one to criticize, you sound like an ignorant intolerant racist right wing nut job. Do you hate Obama because he's black too?

As an emergency medical professional, I see things like this every day. I do not know the details of this specific case, however there are a multitude of reasons people run from accidents. No license, insurance, drugs or alcohol involved, etc, etc, etc. Or the fact that he realized that he just destroyed a family. It is not always because of "citizenship."

David, I think your comment was petty and demoralizing, and you've lost sight of the actual issue. The assailant as well as the victims were someone's family. And now the lives of many have been irreversibly changed forever. And citizenship should never be an issue because dead is dead.
