    North Carolina is the worst state in the union and it isn’t even close. Nothing is worse than a population of people who have every opportunity in the world and still willingly, knowingly, consistently squander it all on self-absorbed idiocy.

    At least Mississippi and Alabama have the excuse of low economic opportunity to fall back on.

    And the driver of the SUV? No charges, using parents for emotional damages of having to see their dead child after hitting them with their death machine.

    Scroll down. There’s a case where a guy didn’t secure a gun that they were easier on. Hmm makes sense I guess. Scroll down further and see the father is black. Well that explains it all. But I feel if he wasn’t the gun guy would still get the easier sentence.

    There’s a lot to be said about this messed up situation. I would not trust a 7 year old to make that trip in a car dependant area.

    Edit: he was escorted by a 10 year old. That might be fine, possibly. At least open for debate.

    Maybe the police could charge the 10 year old as well… /S

    This is something we increasingly see from southern states. I guarantee that the people doing the policing and prosecution had free reign when they were children. Really this is just a lack of empathy for a bad situation and attempting to criminalize life.
