It is a particularly bad time to be running from the cops while there is an ongoing manhunt for as triple murder suspect, that’s a good way to get killed!
REGARDING:
“Have you ever looked in the mirror and realized that you are no better than that criminal you’re standing next to?”
Not usually.
Do you?
David for better mirrors
Most “nice cars” are rentals that are rented by another person so they can’t be traced back to them when they run. When we go to the person who rented the car, it’s always “I loaned it to Joe blow and I don’t know who he loaned it to” or “what, it’s not in my driveway? Then it was stolen….”
No follow-up needed, it would be the same each time. No driver on accident scene – therefore no arrest. Owner of vehicle is located a day later, states he knows nothing. He was not at home at the time or was asleep and vehicle must have been stolen. Insurance pays for a new car, case closed.
Looks like fleeing is the new game, more exciting. Ever notice how new these cars are?Makes me think they must have a job. Are all of these drivers on a drug? All texting? North Escambia.com needs a new Feature called Follow Up – Who are these people and what were they thinking?
@ area resident…..sure do
No need to wonder about that we are surrounded by scumbag criminals
There are lots of people who would rather not get tied up with our corrupt and money-hungery judicial system. Luckily for us, “area resident” seems to be a clairvoyant, why not just call the cops and tell them the “criminal’s” names? How arrogant and judgemental can a person be? “Innocent until proven guilty” ring a bell?
Have you ever looked in the mirror and realized that you are no better than that criminal you’re standing next to? Douche
Two accidents are reported in today’s edition, both drivers fled the scenes. If they hadn’t “been up to something,” they would not have fled. Do you ever wonder if you are standing next to a criminal at the grocery store or gas station?
