snip--"...suffered a concussion and severe bruising in the attack but is expected to make a full recovery."
snip--" I don't remember the impact, the teenager told Des Moines television station KCCI in the days after the crash. I just remember the car coming at me.
snip--"Franklin was already in jail on a separate assault charge when police interviewed her about the hit-and-run. In the assault case, which also occurred on Dec. 9, she's accused of making racist remarks to a West Des Moines convenience store clerk and customers and throwing items at the clerk.

Besides the attempted murder charge, I wonder how much additional time she will get for a hate crime. I'd love to see her get life. She is clearly a danger to the public.
My God, she didn't even lie about it and try to claim it was an accident! She is apparently proud of herself?
How can anyone live with themselves while holding so much hatred? How warped and miserable to be so consumed.

(47,430 posts)that's taken over the country, especially since Trump took office. Not only are people doing hateful, violent racist things, they openly admit they did it and why they did it. Apparently this woman doesn't even care she will probably go to jail. Her hatred is more important than her freedom. Its like a really bad movie.
