Gee another scumbag in our community?
Given the absolute fetish for identity politics, this a hate crime?
I mean clearly if the driver hit and split, must hate kids?
Clearly must hate our society and community, maybe even themselves.
So unless this kid identifies as a gay kid...it just gets regular investigating?
Not directed to the crew at M this post, but rather illustrating just how polarizing identity politics and those who support them ...are.
A wee child was hit, perhaps take a few members off "operation rainbow burnout" and source out this alleged scumbag. Get the driver in front of the courts ... and the lunacy will be "addressed" via IP.
Lather, rinse, repeat!
Hope the wee gaffer is going to be ok.
