The interior of Mariah Gill’s Chevrolet Impala after it was forced off the road, flipped three times and landed in a canal, her mother Marie Garside said. Gill and her two brothers had just gotten out of school at Bay High in Bay St. Louis when they were forced off Interstate 10 eastbound in Harrison County by the driver of a red Kia Soul.

Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

A misdemeanor?

Purposely running someone off the road is a misdemeanor? The car is totaled, people are hurt and have hospital bills to pay, not to mention buying a new car with higher insurance rates, and the person causing all this gets a slap on the wrist with a misdemeanor. Unbelievable

Nonsense

An idiot nearly kills three people on the road, leaves the scene and ... basically nothing? Thanks for shining a light on that.

Get ‘em

I hope the mother of the children who were run off the road, who had to do all the legwork in pursuing justice, sues the red Kia family for everything they have and more.

Unfair

Another Sun Herald wall-to-wall anti-Trump Sound Off.

Hating Trump

Do the Democrats realize that President Trump cannot be reelected? Why not devise better patriotic policies, rather than criticize him on every front? His agenda has always been very pro-American and pro-prosperity for the future generations. The world obviously has become extremely complicated, and it is difficult to please all everyone. Please give us a better plan than just hating Trump.

Lies

MAGAs are celebrating our “victory” over Iran. Here’s the problem: President Trump lies. Iran leaders lie. Who are we to believe? When a president makes announcements, there have always been military leaders to verify the announcements. This is not happening. Trump says things, and his followers believe them. Where are the critical thinkers of his followers?

Fake crisis

I’m amused every time I go somewhere and see bathroom doors with uni-sex signs and locks on the inside. All that fuss over trans people going bathrooms. A lot of money and time was spent on this “crisis” because it mobilized the Republican base.
