I live about 2 hours away from where this happened. The Jeep held up very well.. so well the driver ran from the crash with no apparent injuries. I'd say his life is pretty much over.
Very tragic but it's a Laredo and I'm at least glad to see how well it held up to such a violent crash. Looks like the cabin is completely intact. But I feel for the family of the person killed.
I do not want to make light of the tragedy, but I will howeer have fun with the news cast. What's the deal? The news Anchor is about 70 and both are named Mollie? Weird.
I feel so sorry for the family. I'm sure DaJour Sawyers was a good kid like all good criminals. I wonder if he is getting along with his new cellmate. Hey DaJour.....How is your cornhole doing?
how the hell did he steal a 2011 jeep ahh dont they have those special benz style keys that the challangers are using. i guess DaJour Sawyers is a smart criminal
Just noticed this thread... yes a sad day! I've met and/or passed the families in the local stores. I live in Altoona, and the intersection is about 2 miles from home. I did drive by the scene; Vibe totally destroyed but in it's defense a "T bone" at 90 mph is going to challenge most vehicles. The WK2 was in much better shape, especially for the cabin but for insurance I'd say it was easily totaled too!
Again, sad for the Families and the neighborhood of supporting friends that knew him.
Wow....so very very very sad. A good man, hard working ... hit and killed by some criminal punk in a stolen SUV. So sad. Being from Iowa originally, I know there aren't a lot of criminal punks in the state (so wonder if the 19 y.o. is originally from Iowa or what) and for such a punk to kill a decent family man with two small kids will not go over well in the Iowa criminal justice system at all. A harsh sentence will be handed down. So very sad...
Dan JGC, I just came across this thread. I did not read all of the crash details, but it sounds absolutely horrible! The poor innocent man and his family! I do hope the criminal gets the max!!!
On a lighter note, I loved your 4/7 comment! I laughed out loud! I appreciate your humor and I really do need some about now. I am grateful for your cheering for me. I am just so confused as to why my Overland is lost in space. Keep cheering for me. I need it! And let's pray for that poor family!
I think that there should be a no questions death penelty that should be given to someone whom takes a persons life while commiting a felony. Fortunatly they caught the sorry excuse for a human and hopefully there will be no stupid "loop hole" that will allow this miserable worthless scumbag back on the streets ANY time in the next 40 years.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family... and my hopes and wishes are pushing for regular punishing anal intrusion for this douche.
Dan, Are you seeing better news than me?
Sorry to report... per phone call Fri & Sat it's not delivered yet, but per tracking thread, it's left the CB yard, so it must be on truck in route.
I hope to hear from them Monday afternoon!!!
^^^ I prefer workfare in general and job core or bootcamp for young men (and some of the women too)....end the free rides for living expenses. When the basics are covered (cash assistance, section 8 housing, utility assistance, free public transit, medical care, education, college costs with stipends, foodstamps, refundable tax credits for having kids) without putting in the work time there is too much idle time which leads to a malaise and involvement with seedy stuff that doesn't promote individual responsibility and stable relationships. Seriously....with so many people receiving benefits shouldn't society expect some service in return? If this punk had been required to work for benefits I doubt he'd have time to be stealing cars.... Socialistic policies are a major factor for urban decay.... In South Florida you really get an understanding of how misguided the federal government programs really are........
Dan, I totally agree with you! That is what is wrong with society. If someone needs help, fine, he/she must work for it. No free lunches any more! The gravy train has crashed!!!
