    So you're supporting crime by leaving the scene of an accident? Also your supporting an out of towner who was at fault other than supporting a kid on a bike. I hope you know that whenever you strike a pedestrian with your car it's your fault. Smh loser

    that kid was my cousin in law and he wasn't in the middle of the street doing any of the shit that you said, so before you go saying that he had it coming for him, learn what the fuck happened. They( him and his cousin )were riding thier bikes on the street and the guy literally ran him over and fled.
