7 dead in Accokeek, Maryland...and I don't feel sorry for a single one of them

Call me insensitive, but I just can't find any pity at all for any of the seven people killed while attending and cheering on an illegal drag race in Maryland's Prince Georges County early this morning.

Seven people were killed and four more were injured at around 3AM this morning, proving once again that nothing good happens on the streets after midnight. In this case however, we have a bunch of people who went to that location specifically to participate in or watch and enjoy one of the illegal drag races that the county has been trying to stop for years. Some, like bad mother of the year Crystal Gaines, age 27, even took her child to the race. Gaines' child survived, but her 61 year old father--another great parental role model--was one of the dead.

You see, that happens when you stay up late or set your alarm so that you can go out and participate in wrongdoing.

Details of what really happened are sketchy right now, typical as most of the people present up and ran off instead of either sticking around to help or provide information to the police. It's a sure thing that there are people out there right now who know exactly who was in the race cars but being PG County scumbags and not decent people, they're sitting at home now, undoubtedly petrified at the thought of a police officer knocking on their doors.

The people who were there need to step up. The ones who don't and are rooted out need to be charged as accessories in the seven deaths. And I mean that every single spectator who made the decision to go there and cheer the racers on needs to go on the hook right along with the drivers. Maybe then this practice of hundreds of people getting together for these illegal races, complete with police scanners and lookouts posted to thwart the police, will stop.

Oh--and Child Protective Services needs to get over to Crystal Gaines' house ASAP and snatch that kid up before she decides to take it somewhere even more interesting, like a crack house.

  2. Maybe the kid's already at a crack house. Crack smokers have hobbies to, maybe watching drag races.
