Cowards really make me angry. Especially the kind of coward that would hit and kill two pedestrians and not even stop. The kind of coward that would not, the next morning, get himself to a police station, even if he didnt know what had happened, and try to figure it out. The kind of coward who would wait until someone called the crime line because they saw his jacked up car and let himself be arrested for taking two innocent people out of this world.
For those of you in the Va Beach area that may have seen this story on the news, one of those people was my friend Charlie. I only met him a few times, but I considered him a friend, alot because of the kind and caring person that I knew that he was. I met him through Molly; he and his fiancee took good care of her while I was on deployment, taking the guest room in their house and making it her room whenever she wanted it. I ask you all to please keep Kate, as well as all of Charlie's family and friends, in your prayers.
As for the coward, I'm glad they caught him. He has quite an impressive rap sheet, no stranger to moving violations. He's caused accidents, he's done drugs, he's due in court next week on assault charges. A real winner. Its sad that after all that, he has now taken two lives. I hope that this time will be enough to ensure that it never happens again.
