Lumping on the crazy tales from Florida today.

quote:

A Florida mother is grieving over the loss of her son, who was struck and killed by a car over the weekend. The driver who hit the teen took to Twitter shortly after the accident, according to television station WFOX.

It happened in Jacksonville on Sunday. Trevius Williams, 16, was hit and killed while crossing a street.


quote:

The driver who hit him tweeted the message, 'I just killed someone,' reports WFOX. There was also a tweeted photo of Williams' body covered in blood.



quote:

The driver also tweeted about drinking 'so much lean,' which is cough medicine mixed with Sprite, though police say there was no evidence of alcohol. That driver, however, hadn't yet been tested.


quote:

it's not clear if the driver will face any charges.

I used to laugh off people who say that social media and cell phones are ruining us, but you have to wonder.

Take a picture of a teen you just killed? Post it on the internet?

The killer has no soul. Not even a glimmer of one.

The road he crossed is so busy that I wouldn't want to cross it on foot. Sad.

They are great, but in many ways they destroyed normal communication.

It is the lack of courtesy and compassion (and social media is not, by any means, the only cause). I see people using their cell phones in church, during business meetings, etc. "I want to do something bad on video to get publicity." The only good thing is that occasionally these videos get someone arrested and put in jail where they belong (as in the NJ "knockout" video).

Never miss an opportunity for ridicule at the expense of a tragic event I always say.

Yep. It's just a Florida thing.

Hey, don't let me stop your fun in a thread about a dead teen though. Carry on.

The guy who did this is most likely a sociopath. They are incapable of having sympathy for others.
