This evening, I logged on to see how our wonderful schools here in glorious Tampa were faring after their “
grades” were released and instead I stumbled across this horrific
story. Apparently, some dumb ass decided it would be a cool thing to toss a lit firework into the backseat of a car where a 1-year-old and his 2-year-old were sitting:
Someone in a group of young adults and teens on the sidewalk had tossed what Felix thinks was a lit Roman candle through the open rear window of her Toyota Camry.
It landed in the lap of her 1-year-old son, Juan Coley, who was closest to the open window. His legs were on fire when Felix pulled him from the flaming back seat. His Pampers had exploded from the detonation.
“I could hear my kids screaming. They were burning,” Felix said from their hospital room. “Smoke was coming off my baby’s legs.”
What the hell is wrong with people?!?! This happened in Fort Meyers while the mom was stopped at a stop sign, on her way to the store to buy juice and milk for her kids. Unfortunately, she did not get a look at the person(s) who did it. Now, she has to sit in the hospital with her two young children and find a way to comfort them and try to understand why something like this happened.
Seriously, if there is a hell, the person(s) who did it surely belong there!
Stumble it!
