What the hell is going on in Milwaukee?

The bastard who ran over and killed two boys, and then took off, said on social media he had made a "rookie mistake."

No. He murdered two little boys and then ran away like the chickenshit he is.

Police: Two children, mother injured in hit-and-run near Fiserv Forum

Police searching for silver Chevrolet Malibu with Texas plates

MILWAUKEE —
Milwaukee police confirm that three people were injured in a hit-and-run crash near Fiserv Forum.
It happened about 6 p.m. at Sixth Street and Juneau Avenue.

Police said that three people -- a mother and two children -- were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries.
The children are ages 5 and 8, Milwaukee police Inspector Daniel Thompson said.

Police are searching for a silver Chevrolet Malibu with Texas license plates, Thompson said.

Thompson said the family was walking eastbound on Juneau, and the car was traveling westbound and made a left turn while the family was walking through a green light.

This is the fourth hit-and-run crash involving a child in just over two weeks.

Easy answer, not a damn thing.

These are assholes driving recklessly, hitting pedestrians and then taking off.

That videogame "Grand Theft Auto" in real life, you're 100% correct.

But I don't blame the game.
I blame irresponsible, "To hell with you, *I* does what I want" assholes.

Does that include Trump, his brats and the GOP? Damn right it does.

The article you snipped said they and their mother were treated at a hospital for minor injuries. Are you talking about two different events?

but put together the four or so hit-and-runs, by different drivers, that chance clumped together in time instead of spread out and you can have OUTRAGE!!! Personally, I think those inclined to run with it should consider that maybe the authorities are refusing to prevent this because the whole city's come under the influence of occult demonic forces.

This was the fourth hit-and-run involving children in Milwaukee in just over two weeks -- the third in less than a week.

"We cannot stress enough on driving -- reckless driving is dangerous," said MPD Inspector Thompson. "We have to pay attention in the streets, especially downtown. There’s a lot of people walking. We need to slow down. We need to pay attention and realize that if there’s a green light, there’s probably going to be pedestrians walking. This is the third one in a month. This is very frustrating, not only as a police officer but as a parent and a citizen of Milwaukee. We have to be cognizant that there are kids out here, there are people walking, and that a vehicle can cause serious injury."
