Fear

I'm not usually easily afraid, and I don't usually lose too much sleep worrying about the blackkidos. But Friday night's hit and run accident in Tel Aviv really bothered me and I'm scared. Late Friday night (more like Saturday morning), 27 year old Meital Aharonson was killed by a hit and run driver while crossing Eben Gvirol street. Her friend was critically injured and is in intensive care. Its seems a group of friends (from Ramat Gan) went out drinking and then driving, at 3am the cops stopped them at the TA Port and arrested the driver when he refused a breathalyzer (he is 22 years old). His two friends sped off in his Toyota Land Cruiser (SUV death machine) and 20 minutes later Meital and her friend were thrown 20 meters by the force of the impact. The asswipes then abandoned the SUV and hid. The police have since arrested who they believe to be the driver, the passenger is still at large.

Soon Blacksonanddaughtero will be out driving. Perhaps not always by themselves, but with friends. Obviously, being in the car with a drunken driver is not the only danger. Crossing a road in the middle of the night with all the imbeciles out there, is no less of a risk. Please children, think. Repercussions of stupidity can be life changing, and not just for you. These kids will get the book thrown at them, and rightly so. But none of this will ever help Meital, her friend or their families.
