My last comment

I would be scared to broadcast my real name. There are too many nuts out there, and all someone would have to do is google my name and the town I live in to find me. It is not worth it to me.

How about assault with a deadly weapon?

He could have killed people on the road. This guy needs to have the book thrown at him.

Terminology

The young lady is not "wheelchair bound"...she uses a wheelchair, that's all.

A stupid thing to do

They could have caused death(s). They should be prosecuted, and I agree that their parents should be held liable. Parents...children are your responsibility as long as they are minors who live in your home!

Your quick thinking and action are commendable!

I'm confused

The caption says two vehicles crashed and that's what the picture looks like, but the story doesn't mention a crash, just a pedestrian hit. I wonder if the writer had recently left Gritty's as well?

It IS part of the ER already

We used to use FirstCare when my children were little, on the weekends when there was a non-life threatening emergency and the pediatrician was closed. It was very convenient and not expensive (same copay as the doctor). THEN they reorganized and started making you go the the ER to be "triaged". At that point, they started billing it as an ER visit (a 100 copay for us!), even if you ended up at First Care. What a scam! We stopped using it except in true emergencies, and switched to different doctors that had better hours. So I don't think it will make any difference finances wise to those that used it.

Very Sad

We loved Caswells...always shopped there first. Very sad news.
