    Then, 17-year-old Janae Edmondson, a volleyball player from Tennessee, was struck by a speeding car after a tournament game in downtown St. Louis. She lost both legs.

    The driver, 21-year-old Daniel Riley, was out on bond despite nearly 100 previous bond violations. Critics questioned why Riley was free at the time of the crash.

    On this one, I’d have to agree. Wtf.

          And rich parents usually.

          There was a kid like that in my highschool. Crashed (drunk) his dads Viper (this was the late 90s, when they were still new). Beat up lots of people culminating with kicking in the teeth of a friend of mine who was parked on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. The guy randomly stopped to attack him. They didn’t know each other either.
