everyday life of a stay at home mom/artist

Austin, Texas

, , , , , ,

I woke up this morning at 4:30 feeling the burn of my skin from being over exposed in yesterday's sun. As Cois said, It's important to use sunscreen! It will only last for a min, I need a tan.
So anyway I was watching the news this early morning only to find out that in the city of Austin in my state of Texas....a man was beaten to death by a crowd for just BEING in a car that struck a child. I am still not sure about the driver! faint
The child is ok.
I can imagine being extremely angry, shocked and devastated about the child being hit....but I can't understand the animal type behavior from the small crowd of about 20 people. After word spread that someone was being beat and a child had been hit...the crowd increased to more than a thousand from the Juneteenth celebration that was nearby. My personal opinion is, what is this telling people in the future? Don't stop and check on your victim? Drive like hell, especially if you are around a crowd? Wouldn't that make that a hit and run????
THOSE IDIOTS!
I am just getting more and more upset about this because I am wondering what is going on with people now? Has the American Justis system let people down so many times that they feel there is no other choice but to handle things at their own hand?
There are no other words that I can use to describe how disgusting this is on both accounts!

Also, I am pimping this blog today.

I completely agree with you regarding the person being beaten to death. Our entire planet is self-destructing, and this is just one small example of it. down

P.S.
Thanks for being my pimp. I feel like such a blog slut now! p

I agree with you too Sarah, that is very messed up what they did to that man. His friend was only trying to do the right thing by checking on the child when these a$$holes decided to do what they did. That does make me mad and I hope that they are caught quick.

Appalling!

I thought everyone in Texas carries a gun.
Even so, this guy would have run out of ammunition:)

Marc-they are investigating on 'who done it' thank God.

You know how people take pic and video with their cell
phones now...I am sure someone caught SOMETHING!

Dave-You are exactly right, if he was going to get out,

Now it's a matter of people coming forward and helping the cops catch those responsible. It's amazing how people can be so cruel to each other on one hand, and yet go out of their way to help their fellow man on the other.
