Who Does This?

    I decided to blog on this article “Man Admits Hit and Run” because I find it so strange and just totally unbelievable that people could have the nerve to hit someone, then just leave them.   Don’t these people know that they will probably get caught, and setting aside just that fact, how could you be that cold of a person??

I find this so hard to believe because seriously, even if I do something much smaller like step on someone’s toes, I feel so badly about it.  That’s why it’s hard to imagine someone being able to run someone over, or even just hit them and run away from it.  Is this because they get so scared and are so shocked that they just can’t turn back (which is what I’d hope) or is it just the cold truth that they really don’t care about other human beings? (this is really scary to think about)

In thinking of a fair punishment, I really don’t know what to say.  I think that putting people in jail for long periods of time, even life, is not at all the best answer to any problem.  People who do things like this need to serve the community, live and realize what they’ve done and the harm it has to people.
