@Well – Dont assume that the person was out for nefarious reasons.. There are lots of shift work jobs in Pensacola, restaurant and bar jobs, after hours cleaning and janitorial jobs, possible transportation issues, and walking to or from a carpool/shared ride location. If being out at 2:30 in the morning is foreign to you, count your blessings!
27 is no young anything.
An adult walking in the highway at 2:30 in the morning.
Likely hit by someone that was also drunk or high.
Not good from any side.
Another example of extreme cowardice with no moral conscience or care for human life.
I agree with mad citizen, please do the right thing and turn yourself in. You cannot have such a cold heart! This young man (boy) has lost his life. (The child of someone),could have been yours. (Brother of someone) Could have been yours, (Grandchild, Uncle, Dad to someone) Could have been yours. So please have a heart and do what’s right, right now!
And may god bless you…
This is awful. What is wrong with people?!
Prayers to this young man’s family and friends.
Whoever done this – please turn yourself in. How would you feel if this was your father, brother or your best friend? If you were drinking – they can’t bust you on that now (not that I condone that at all) – but do the right thing now PLEASE!
