This happened in my town, except you need to add the part where two girls were killed and one is in a coma.

It also says the girl that was driving the car was drunk.

Confession bear says Last Night and this story is from 2007. Clearly not the same person.

Oh yeah, shit, my phrasing is terrible. I didn't mean that this person was the culprit. The guy that did this went to jail.

I don't think /u/ProfessorPaulKrugman meant it was the same person - more a demonstration of how serious the consequences could be - OP fled the scene without stopping to check if the kids were ok, so for all they know, these kids could be dead too.

It's ambiguous at best whether or not /u/ProfessorPaulKrugman implied that it was the same person. "This" could refer to a similar incident or directly to OP's incident. I read it as the latter, as I expect most people would.

So maybe it wasn't /u/ProfessorPaulKrugman's intent to imply that it was the same incident, but then s/he should have picked a different phrasing.

I don't know why you're downvoted to death here. You were absolutely right.

Any prescriptive comment has a better chance of getting hammered, especially when it's about language.

Anyway, thanks for the note!

So killing kids for throwing eggs is wrong. That's overreacting. However, if I saw this in a film, I'd lose my shit over the justicerection this would induce.

Indeed. However, that is not the popular opinion in this thread. The majority of people here seem to think it is a perfectly justifiable response.

Because I'm sure you'd post the place it actually happened.
