Just How Funny Is Murder to the 'Chronicle'?

RECEIVED Sat., June 28, 2008

Dear Editor,
    "I was ready to pull a Lizzie Grubman and plow right through them and be on my way. But I was hesitant to rack up a lot of hit-and-run charges against me … and then there would be all that damage to my car" [“After a Fashion,” June 27].
    If you're really that close to committing a multiple homicide and/or multiple aggravated assault, then you really should look in the mirror at your own behavior and situation. From your story, it really sounds like you shouldn't be driving and should have your license revoked immediately. Anger is one thing, justified or otherwise – considering homicide and assault is a whole other thing.
    A car is a vehicle and should not be used as a weapon for intimidation, threats, assaults, or homicides.
