This really fucking pisses me off!

A 30-year-old woman in Marietta, Georgia was convicted of vehicular homicide this week – and she wasn’t even driving a car. The woman was crossing the street with her three children when a driver, who had been drinking, hit and killed her four-year-old. The driver, Jerry Guy, was initially charged with “hit and run, first degree homicide by vehicle and cruelty to children,” Elise Hitchcock of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. “Charges were later dropped to just the hit and run charge.”

The man has previously been convicted of two hit-and-runs – on the same day, in 1997, one of them on the same road where he killed Raquel Nelson’s son.

Guy will serve six months for killing the boy, but Nelson will serve up to 36 months – just for crossing the street with her child. Yes, it’s true: they were not in a crosswalk. Are there any crosswalks on that street at all?

I am absolutely at a loss for words to describe the level of stupidity involved in this case.

Fucking hillbilly law down there in the bible belt. I mean - for christs sake, they think god shows his love with tornadoes!

They're stupid ignorant backwoods cousin-fucking science-bashing race-hating bible-thumping god-sucking gay-bashing gun-toting inbreeding mindless fucktard rednecks!

We invented Nascar just to keep them occupied. Cars going around in big fucking circle keeps them entertained for YEARS!! They are the poster child of stupidity. Is it really any surprise that their judicial system can come out with such an asinine ruling?!

It's Georgia, man. The roads probably aren't paved!

The mind-boggling stupidity...even for Georgia...is inexplicable.

This case seems too damn fishy to make sense.

Waiting for Lawrence O'Donnell or Rachel Maddow to confirm before I go off the rails.
