    That is disgusting.  Who can do that?  No seriously – there is something wrong here.  Innocent people beaten up and children run over.  That is one very sick person.  BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY.

      She actually went to get help and returned right away to the scene – a very sad & tragic end to a precious young life
