Stupid RedNeck Tricks

Last weekend a tragic event happened that could have been avoided by the use of a little thing I like to call "Common Sense". There's this small Town near Memphis called Selmer (I know, a small Town in Tennessee and something bad happened because of stupidity.....this is such a rare occurance) that for the past 18 years has had a Hot Rod/Custom Car parade as a fundraiser for some organization or another. Usually the cars drive slowly through the streets (like you'd expect from a parade......cars driving at 15 mph or so) and like every other parade in every city in America people crowd the sidewalks and watch. This year some RedNecked Moron decided that having a nitro powered Funny Car light up his tires and race at full speed down the street was a "good idea". The driver should have used his head and thought about just how dumb that was. As it happens, the driver lost control of the car and it plowed into the crowd killing 6 people. Idiots!!!! The powers that be that run the Town have been quoted as saying "we've never had anything like this happen in 18 years..." then they admit this is the first time they decided to do this. Their "apology" is to keep repeating that they've never had this problem before. I think "We are idiots and we are terribly sorry about the deaths of those 6 people" is probably what they should be saying. Then to top it all off the news today tells us that the driver has a history of DUI. Lovely!!!! I'd call it Darwin in action, but the wrong people got removed from the Gene Pool.
