This is for the asshole who ran over a helpless raccoon on Monday night: You could have stopped. We stopped in time, but you chose to keep on going. You are horrible, a monster, and karma will get you, you useless bag of shit. —Horrified

I think Karma has better things to do.
One time I was doing 50 or so at night and had a 1/6th of a second to decide between swerving, braking, or nothing. I flattened to rodent and lived to tell about it. I think Karma skipped me over because I got to shoot a deer later that fall. Come to think of it, I haven’t shot a deer since. Maybe Karma IS fucking me over.
Just because you could stop, doesn’t mean they could.
Maybe they didn’t see it. Big fucking deal.
Don’t think a raccoon won’t mow you down in a second!
The only thing we have going for us is that it takes 3 of them to drive, and they fucking hate each other more than we hate them!
Have you seen the claws and fangs on those fuckers? One less is a good thing.
What’s a non helpless raccoon look like?
coons shouldnt be playing in the street anyways
Look both ways before crossing. Seriously op. Should a driver swerve into the opposite lane or slam on the brakes and risk the lives of other motorists. It’s a racoon. The crows will clean it up.
But they’re so darn cute! http://www.deviantart.com/download/1141210…
Ever think that Karma, put that raccoon in the path of that car to pay it back for all the garbage cans its turned over & scattered trash all over the yards it prowls ?
Yep, Karma caught up with that furry fucker.
I guess I was wrong, Karma can get you ~;)
maybe that raccoon was the one who was strewing litter over oscar the grouch’s lawn?
Poor cooner.
The beloved coon has fallen… 🙁

That was great show, Cranky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usFFKNRB2z8
I wouldn’t swerve to miss a small animal if it meant I would wreck my car or someone else’s to avoid it. Seems callous to animal lovers, but OP is probably writing this from their cell-phone while driving with their dog on their arms.
Helpless how, did someone de-claw it? Did it lose its glasses?? Was it on the crapper? raccoons in urban areas are very dangerous.
Also, Darwin at work…
How is it this person keeps seeing critters, dogs, cats, etc getting run over? OP, why didn’t you rescue the critter and give it mouth to mouth?
I hope OP is a vegan.. otherwise, this post is garbage.
OP, you say you stopped in time. In time for what? Racoon mouth to mouth? In time to finish the job with a tire iron? I never feel good about hitting these guys but when I do I’m never compelled to stop and give a eulogy.
Eulogy? – You asked for it 😉

I bet OP was eating a chicken sandwitch while typing that.. not knowing how the chicken got to the plate.
Any Car worth over $1000 goes over 2 cent raccoon once with nothing left over. Easy math.
