you have got to be pretty f*cked up to miss a parade.
EDIT: had she already been arrested on the DUI as the lede suggests, or was she arrested subsequent to the murder and mayhem she committed?
Sincere condolences to families and friends for this needless and tragic loss.
Multiple vehicular homicide charges could put the driver away for a long time and might deter others from making the same bad decision. This incident will be fully investigate with an eye to prevention of recurrences. Yes it was a mass killing and no it did not involve a gun. And thankfully Congress won’t do everything in their power to make sure it will happen again at the bidding of a powerful lobbyist group.

Cue up the Republicans: “Why aren’t the Liberals demanding that we ban cars?”
Because there is more money in incarceration. Championed by the Repubs by the way. I hope you aren’t counting on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security or overtime pay. These are Liberal, Socialist Programs. Better get a gun instead, it won’t feed you or take care of you, but it will protect you from the liberal social programs that will.

“Someone call an ambulance! And a copyeditor!”
This woman will go away for a long time. I wonder what “influence” she was under? I bet booze. Or booze and pills. Such a cliché, but don’t drink and drive people.
That caught my attention, too. Makes me wonder what they do for entertainment up there, dontcha know.
I suspect this driver will spend time in prison after which… no more driving license.
Bobby Jindal would say “Now’s not the time to discuss jail time or loss of driving privileges”.
Jeb! would say “Stuff happens but my bro kept me safe from that driver”.
Carson would blame democrats and their Nazi-like policies that demand we wear seat belts.

A tragedy on every level. The victims and their families. The foolish young women who ruined her life needlessly,and her family who are going to have bear that burden. Enough heartache to last a generation.

This brings back memories of an elderly gentlemen who plowed in a huge Farmers Market in Santa Monica, California. He drove through barriers and killed several people and injured many. He was not drunk he jut panicked and stepped on the gas instead of the braskes
Why indeed?
Heard a much better presented version of this story this morning on NPR radio. The woman is 25 yrs old and was arrested for DUI after this terrible incident. I hope they add manslaughter at a minimum. For sure she will get the book tossed at her because she ran over a cop’s motor cycle. I guess I’m feeling rather cynical this morning.
