We are not promised tomorrow. You can not live your life in fear of "what if". You could have an accident inside your own home, that kils you. So what are you going to do? Stay in bed for the rest of your life?

When you live your life in fear of the "what if", then you are not living your life.

So true.

It may be a while before we learn the motive, etc. The event didn't involve a gun so it won't get as much air time.

Change the channel, "the event" has received LOTS of coverage.

It's sure getting a lot of air time in the Bay Area.

Plus, one of our favorite anchorwomen was there with her family when it happened and saw the carnage.  We got first hand reports, and I liked it that she didn't bother with makeup, just came out, obviously upset from what she had seen, and did her job.

Interesting info about the driver. I wonder how she lost the job mentioned in the article.

"Years before police said she intentionally drove onto a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk, killing one person and injuring 37 others, Lakeisha Holloway was publicly honored for turning her life around.

On Tuesday, she was formally charged with murder with a deadly weapon and with one count of leaving the scene of an accident, also a felony, according to a criminal complaint. She faces a third felony, which is child abuse, neglect or endangerment, in connection with her small child's presence in the car.

More charges are expected as the investigation unfolds, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Just three years ago, Holloway spoke of how her life was taking a turn for the better.

"Boy, have I come a long ways," Holloway said in a 2012 video by the Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center, which helps at-risk youth with education and career training.

"I was a scared little girl who knew that there was more to life outside of crime, drug addiction, lower income, alcoholism, being undereducated -- all of which I grew up being familiar with."

Thanks to the nonprofit, she went from homelessness to a job with the federal government and "living the grand life."...

They will say likely she was mentally ill, they blame that on so many things people do, but i think it is used way too often, there are people that are just mean, and don't care about others. The dead ,and hurt are overlooked.

I have ot sadly agree.  Punishments in the system of law have to be re-done to be more extreme and extensive.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

@Say Nay And all the help to assist her to get on in this life didn't help.  How ungrateful and just criminal and mean to do what she did.  Throw the books at her and more.

@Mz iMac That Ethan and his mom are soon to be apprehended.  Such blatant criminal behavior and COWARDICE.  If people like that are so insistant on telling others they aren't to blame then why do they run?  He would be in an electric chair or gas chamber if I had my way. That horrid looking mother of his would serve out the rest of her days in a penitentary until her death for her bringing and raising such a child into this world.

Along with the victims it's horrible she put her innocent three year old daughter through this. Poor girl witnessed things she will never forget.
