And immediately put him in charge of combat operations in Iraq.
Right. Put a moron like that in charge and Iraq really will descend into a civil war.
You've built up an image of the driver as a Good Christian Middle-Aged Family Man with a Wife, Two Kids (one boy, one girl, the boy is older), a Dog (a golden retriever will do), and a White Picket Fence. Trouble is, you don't really know anything about him.
Considering that he was driving around at 1 in the morning and that he resorted to deadly violence over a minor provocation and killed the kid when the kid was no longer a threat (if he was ever a threat at all), the driver is most likely a 20something gangbanger who has a shaved head, wears baggy clothes, votes liberal if he votes at all, and would be laughing his ass off at all the so-called "conservatives" who are leaping to his defense.
Most of the people on this thread are taking the side of the driver, but I guarantee you, if it's revealed that the driver is an illegal immigrant, people will be switching sides so fast they'll make Judas Jeffords look like the world's most loyal Republican.
