TK - > the way I see it -> May Karma Smite You
May Karma Smite You

To begin, thank you Canine Creek for the shot / microchip mini-clinic.  I always enjoy dropping by and chatting with y'all and I will ask people to sign the petition for a shelter.  It's too bad the day took a tragic turn.  I am so sorry about that little dog who slipped away from the child in the parking lot.  It was a short run onto Tucker and underneath that vehicle.  And hey, driver who ran over the little dog, I wish many nasty things upon your head.  Did you know that even if it isn't your fault you are still required BY LAW to stop?  There were three children who watched as their little dog was scooped up from Tucker where you so callously took a life and fled.  So, poop-for-brains driver, you think you were lucky today that I did not get your license plate.  Since I cannot track you I will leave it to Karma to smite you.  Hopefully that will be worse than anything I could have done.

Well I think there's a qualified difference between hitting a skunk or squirrel, which you know is a wild animal, and a dog or cat which could very probably be someone's pet.  And almost certainly is if its a little dog which wouldn't last 2 seconds with the coyotes and bobcats in Tehachapi unsupervised.

So I'm sorry.  Maybe I'm just pessimistic of human behavior, but I'm usually right.  This guy just took off.  The sitting in a state of glee thing was an exaggeration of course but its as valid as theory as anyone else has conjectured. ;)

gube~what are you doing still driving?  God is the pilot, get out of the way

They can't get over it rm6, they have it all figured out that this man should rot in hell for having a dog run in front of him and him not stopping.  They have the whole thing figured out.  The reasons, the circumstances.  "This man is sittling in a state of glee" that he got away with this. This man is a piece of crap that should be smitten with karma and bad things happen to him over this.  I'm hoping that the next skunk that one of you run over, you follow the law and stop to check on it, if it is still alive, I hope that you call the proper authorities and wait there to see that it is taken care of.  No matter what the circumstance, you must stop, get out of your car and check on this animal.  I think the possibilies of this man knowing that the dogs children were watching is far fetched and assuming.  Do I think he should have stopped ....  YES!!!!  Do I know his reasons for not stopping. NO!!!!

Get over it people, what's done is done, the dog can't be resurrected and the driver isn't going to be punished, it's the reality of life.

Actually I was thinking he'd stop and resurrect it...

My guess is he wouldn't have hit the dog because he was held up pulling all the dead squirrels I hit last week gently to the side of the road. ;)

What would Jesus do if he were the driver of car that hit the dog?
posted by gube on Nov 8, 2007 at 08:26 AM

Fleeing the scene was deliberate.

TK are you positive that the driver knew he hit the small dog. You are a angry woman. Do you wish this man to be ran over by a car to, I bet that would make you happy. That would teach him a lesson don't you think. Or should we if you catch him stone the driver to death, hey i bet you would love to throw the first stone. And TK one last thing before i go and that is the driver is already off your hook. What would Jesus do ? Would he want revenge or would he forgive.

The driver didn't stop because they were a) uninsured, b) illegal alien, or c) was more worried about their hide than the feelings of the kids.  Its really that simple.  While I hate to be a party pooper, the person that didn't stop is not feeling any remorse whatsoever.  In fact they are probably filled with glee that they got away with it sad to say.  Things like this is why I like to hope there is such a thing as karma.  Eventually it will catch up with them hopefully. :/

I will not let the driver off the hook.  The dog getting loose was an accident.  The dog getting hit was an accident.  Fleeing the scene was deliberate.

How about skunks, if I hit a skunk am I required to pull it's dead little stinky body off the road or check to see if it is seriously injured?  As I've said before, why would we wish this man nasty things and bad karma?  I understand that this was a horrible thing to watch.  I've seen animals get hit, I've hit animals, it's never a pleasant experience.  I've hit two dogs in my lifetime.  One I stopped and started to get out, I thought for sure I killed it, as soon as I opened my door, he jumped up and took off running.  Another little dog ran out in front of me driving through a neighborhood, again I stopped and the elderly owners were very understanding and sorry for me.  I'm not stopping for squirrels, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, they have diseases.  

So TK, now that a few days have passed, do you think of this guy as just an a**hole, or are you still wishing nasty things on his head and bad karma?

Hell if I see a dead squirrel on the road I'll run over it again just for the hell of it.
