Let's catch this sick individual.
Who just leaves the scene after hitting someone ion their car?!?!
There should be no mercy if one decides to run away.

Trying to run from a crime is often worse than the crime itself. I'm glad that witnesses got a good description of the suspect vehicle. Hopefully the police can track the driver down quickly.

No Mercy, it's easy to understand how someone would leave the scene like this -- illegal immigrants that are driving illegally (and have no insurance). Yet more cost from those that shouldn't be here.

I'm sure some "progressive" will now speak out against me for "Immigrant's Rights" to hit who ever they want and run away.

That's one explanation, yes, but you need to consider more than what you want to see.
More totally logical explanations: Impaired driver, Driver w/ warrant, oblivious driver(didn't know it happened), older driver who got scared and fled, younger driver who got scared and fled, driver afraid of lawsuit, and yes, illegals.

With no other info to go on but the story, one would have to be a particular type of person to feel it "Must have been an illegal" when there are a host of other logical reasons that are very commonplace reason why people flee a scene.
That stuff comes from the minds of those who will not, or cannot think beyond personal biases.

No Mercy,
I'll agree with other reasons such as impaired driver, driver w/warrant, oblivious driver(didn't know it happened). Given your good understanding of various reasons, why did you write "Who just leaves the scene after hitting someone ion their car?!?!"? I was offering one common reason. But yes, there are others.

Actually David, it was rhetorical question. OK? Good.
