Gettin the anger back

This elderly driver should be brought to swift and final justice.
The young woman in the story was, by all accounts, one of the good ones. Full of life and a love for this world and its people.
Badaracco’s sister said the former Brookline High School student, who graduated in 2001, was due to leave town soon for London, England, to get her master’s degree in comparative politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Eventually, her sister said, the recent Northwestern University graduate wanted to obtain her doctorate to become a professor to satisfy her appetite for education.
Badaracco had gotten a taste of teaching while in college, as she volunteered at a school in Chicago before heading to the Southern Hemisphere shortly after she graduated in 2005.


But apparently, an old person felt the need to drive on the sidewalk and deprive this world of what she could have accomplished.
The driver, Florida resident Lenore Liner, came up behind Badaracco, reportedly jumped the curb and hit the young woman who was walking alone, according to Newton Police.

She was walking on the sidewalk and an old person hit her with a car.

Wake up, America. Let's mandate testing for the elderly menace.
