Well imagine my surprise this morning when I woke up to a typed lecture from a guy whose cousin “admitted in court … that she drove away and later attempted to disguise her car after striking Binh Tsan, 25, and her fiance last September, according to the Camden County (NJ) Prosecutor’s Office.”
What was surprising wasn’t the whole woe-are-we, there-are-all-sorts-of-victims-here brand of response to my hit-and-run coverage. I get that all the time. From people defending scumbag hit-and-run artists.
What was surprising was Pollosco’s reading-comprehension-challenged cousin “Sonnie” chose to couch his comments with insults on a post that noted — wait for it — “Having learned that Pollosco pleaded guilty on Thursday to knowingly leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death (possible 10-year prison turn), it must be noted that she has taken responsibility for her actions and, as such, she’s no longer Hit-And-Run Dirtbag Elisha Pollosco. She’ll merely be referred to as a Hit-And-Run Offender.”
I’ll translate that for you, Sonnie: When your dirtbag cousin pleaded guilty, she ceased being referred to on this site as a dirtbag. That lasted until you decided to string together a lecture about how I should write in general, and about hit-and-runs specifically. Some family you got there, Sonnie.
I don’t — and will never — feel pity for those who hit people with their cars and inhumanely take off and hide out of self-preservation interests alone. To expect otherwise is moronic.
You can read my direct response in the comments on that post linked a few paragraphs higher.
