Ok, so this morning I was doing my usual blog reading to see who updated and what they posted yada yada. Then I come upon this one blog from a girl that I used to go to high school with. She posted about the car accident. And she had the NERVE to state that the people who caused the wreck needed prayers and how they were influential in the area and how they contributed financially to the city. Then she said that the families of the 2 doctors also needed prayers. Yes, I agree that all families and victims need prayers. I don't wish ill for anyone, don't get me wrong. But the fact that she mentioned that they are influential in the area just makes my blood boil. I'm so sick and so TIRED of these rich people getting special treatment because they contribute money to the community. They hit that doctor going an estimated 90 mph. NINETY MILES PER HOUR. Besides alcohol and drugs, I don't know what would cause someone to drive that fast and that recklessly. The toxicology hasn't been released, but knowing how most of these "influential" people spend most of their time drunk off their ass and stoned out of their mind leads me to believe that they were drunk driving from the Country Club. And Dr. P DIED. He's never coming back. He's not in ICU with broken bones and may/may not have the same mental capacity as before. HE'S DEAD. HE BURNED IN HIS CAR AFTER IT EXPLODED. I can't think one reason in HELL that the "influential" ass pricks deserve any special considerations because they are rich. They caused the wreck. They killed someone. INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. I don't know much about law, but I do remember that one. I think they should get better, then pay for what they did. By rotting in jail. Strip them of their fancy lifestyle, fancy parties, and money. And what do you have? A killer. Plain and simple.
I know that I may be a bit more influenced since I knew Dr. P. Even with that said, I don't think that anyone deserves special treatment or to have the whole thing overlooked and brushed under the rug just because these people have money coming out of their ears. Unfortunately, that's exactly what will happen. They'll throw some money at the judge and police force, and it'll all just go away. They'll be free to do the same thing to someone else. Maybe next time, it'll be you. Or your child. Or your parents. Think about it. Should rich people be able to get away with it because they are "rich" and "influential"?
I pray for Dr. P's family and the family of his fiancee' (who also died in the car accident). They are the ones that lost the most. Two people who can never be replaced. The rich ass folks that caused the accident are still alive. They may be disfigured, but alive. And I know that it hurts their families too, but it DOESN'T make them any less responsible.
Ok, I'm done for now.

I was in WJ clinic Monday, and of course this was the topic of discussion all day. A couple of people mentioned how this could get "swept under the rug," so to say. And my very favorite doctor of them all said, "If that happens, I guarantee that the people of Jackson will see our entire department, extended family, and their friends and family on the front steps of city hall, raising hell." I hope that being as high profile as it has been keeps too much from happening.
90 mph!!! On freakin' Old Canton Road!!! What the HELL??? Yes, they need to go to jail.
