a couple of years ago in dallas this person hit some guy walking accross the street or something and he got lodged in the windshield and they drove home and parked in the garage with him still hanging out of the windshield...im pretty sure he was in there for a few days untill he finally died.....

I remeber hearing about that, its pretty crazy, not to mention sick.

Story where they caught the guy.

Investigators say their efforts to conceal the hit-and-run make the case much more serious.
"When you have people who are aggressively trying to elude responsibility, elude law enforcement, destroy evidence, and in this case, trying to conceal the death of an individual, it's a little difficult to be overly sympathetic," said Tom Dart, Cook County Sheriff.

The arrests come as a relief to Michael Cranston's relatives. They gathered at the gas station where he was last seen alive and collected a collage of sympathy cards.

"I understand it most likely was a mistake, and he was scared, and he didn't want to 'fess up, or deal with consequences, but he's doing the right thing now," said Kathryn Gidney, victim's niece.

Marcus Hampton's father talked to his son earlier in the day, urging him to do the right thing and turn himself in.

"I'd like to give my condolence to the family. Our family, a Christian family, we never knew what happened. We're sorry and our heart goes out to you," said father Randall White.

Hampton is currently on parole for armed robbery and possession of a stolen car. He said nothing to reporters before surrendering to sheriff's officers. He and the other suspects are scheduled to appear in bond court Thursday morning.

Yeah, a real winner here. Looks like the "Christian Family" things not gonna get them far...

Doesn't look to me like they're trying to use it to get him out of it... I think we all know people who are total screwups who come from otherwise good families. And I'm talking families with very good people, not "good families" from a social standpoint. I couldn't care less about that crap.

Point is, anytime someone mentions Christianity, there are a large portion of people who take a disturbing amount of glee in pointing out that Christians also make mistakes, or that there are some people who hide behind Christianity. It's just sad.

Sure, they *COULD* be good people, he *MAY* just be a bad apple, not right in the head, in a bad situation or whatever. I just find it ironic, that whenever someone is busted for a really heinous crime like this, they either immediately find god, or their family is described as a good Christian family.

Your religious activity or lack thereof should really have absolutely no bearing on the crime committed. I mean, thats like saying he's tall. "Oh, he's a tall guy, we should not look upon him as being so guilty". Now, I don't know if his family is trying to make mention of it, just to deflect some of the heat from their son, or if its just the news outlets grabbing onto the fact because its sensationalist, but it irks me every time I see it.

From the quote you posted, the guy seemed as if he was trying to show that the perp's FAMILY is Christian, had no knowledge of the event, and would have done something about it had they known. They said nothing about him, and didn't try to deflect blame or even deny that it had happened.

Yet from the same quote, you seem to have gotten the impression that his family was appealing to the public that he was a Christian and that should make it ok.

Very different interpretations.

I still stand by the fact that too many people take joy when Christians or supposed Christians mess up.

Perhaps I misinterpreted then. I was under the impression they were trying to swing that angle to well...for lack of a better term, put a better spin on the situation.
