Yuck. Lack of solidarity some show is saddening, though to be honest I was expecting something different here reading the title- by run down I was thinking a vehicle moving fast and going over the person, not ramming into them at slower speed.

I think this quote put it the best though,


After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and Angels weep in Heaven, and the Devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out...."

Oh no, that did happen, I just didn't have a link to a video of that. Three firefighters, I think, are now in hospital after being run down, one with very serious injuries.

Is it just me or did that firetruck have a Mercedes emblem on the front?
