Memorial Day Parade
May 26, 2008 – 1:46 pm by kimschWe had a nice parade in town with participation from the Navy (there’s a base nearby).

And then there was the idiot who thought that the Parade didn’t matter, he could drive out onto the main parade route … and hit a child who was going for candy thrown from the floats. The child was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Our prayers are with the child and his or her family. These ambulances were not participating in the parade, sadly they had to be doing their jobs…

I hope that idiot gets the book thrown at him.

Jeez. What a moron. Please tell me he wasn’t drunk… How could he even get on the route? Most parades I’ve been in the streets were pretty well blocked off.
I hope the child is ok.

I’m in touch with a local journalist to see what the story is. She wasn’t aware of the accident - she hadn’t been at the parade, but now that I’ve given her some information, she may be able to use her contacts and get the story.
