    Not sure if this wasn't posted but this happened a couple months ago. This is about as low down as one could get.

    Big rig driver unhooks cab, flees deadly hit-and-run upload_2016-8-8_21-58-47.png
    VERNON, Calif. --
    A search was underway for a hit-and-run driver of a semi-truck accused of fleeing after a deadly crash in Vernon on Saturday.

    Authorities responded to the scene near 37th Street and Santa Fe Avenue at about 3:10 a.m., according to Vernon police.


    Investigators said the driver of the 18-wheeler ran a red light before he or she collided with a pickup truck that was found lodged underneath the trailer of the big rig. http://abc7chicago.com/news/big-rig-driver-unhooks-cab-flees-deadly-hit-and-run-/1316738/

    Just my opinion, but I would say he was a little short on them.

    I'm surprised the perp got caught as far away as he did (seriously, Alabama?).

    Yeah fair. I don't think I would even have the thought to unhook and run cross my mind if I hit something. That's one hell of a mindset

    Sociopaths can live with themselves after doing anything.
    They are incapable of feeling guilt and it's always someone else's fault
