An Oklahoma man whose son died last weekend in a car crash was charged Friday with 13 felony counts for allegedly plowing his vehicle into a group of high school athletes, killing 2 of them.

Six members of the Moore High School track team were running on a sidewalk Monday when a car struck the students, officials said. One of the athletes, Rachel Freeman, a senior, died at the scene. A second student, Yuridia Martinez, a sophomore, died at the hospital.

"Was this an intentional act?" Chief Todd Strickland of the Moore Police Department said."That is part of the investigation which detectives will try to prove or disprove."

Online court records show that Townsend had a long criminal history, including previous convictions for driving under the influence, possessing stolen property, drug charges AND CHILD ABUSE.

Was it a terror attack? Has this guy been radicalized? Did he scream ‘Allahu Akbar’? Questions & more questions on insanity. plow

must be trumps fault...right?

America has no news media journalist don't do what their job requires reporting the truth?

Jesus

Horrendous!!!!!!!!

He was mourning the child he abused. You won't get sympathy from me!!

not defending him but when you lose a child, no matter what age (mine died at 28) you lose state of reason. I'm pretty sure i would not have done this, but i didn't care about anything. Not one thing. It's been 15 yrs & last year was the first time i felt 100% functional

Cameron_Gray So sad for the innocent children and families involved.

What tangeled webs he wove

Dumb guys always make dumb-guy decisions.

Accused?

Haha, fuck those kids.

Total Trump voter.

He was so drunk or under the influence, he ran over field and track team, mainly girls. He also rammed other vehicles on to lawns. The high school football players were following the runners for safety, and chased after him and caught him. Three more are still hospitalized.

Sicko

Don’t think it was intentional, more like he was heartbroken and turned to drinking to numb his grief.

Trump supporter.

Why ? 😢

Within one year, the degree of contempt displayed toward this pathetic drunk driver will pale in comparison to the contempt exhibited toward people & esp. politicians who reject climate science.

He wasn't in his righ mind or correct senses..

Still doesn't say whether it was purposeful or not.

White man rage.

This is what you call an F'd up life.

Just devastating, on so many fronts. I can’t imagine what these grieving families must be experiencing...such a horrific situation.

You'd think a man that just lost his son wouldn't want this to happen to someone else. Nope.

Oh snap! 😲

Anyone who tells you women are more emotional than men are lying to themselves.

Not very mature. I understand your pain, but causing others pain won't do anything to subside yours. Now you lost your freedom in addition to losing your child

Wow. Wrong on all levels

Looks like an old and defeated Leo Messi.

How does killing other peoples' kids ease his pain?

I'll make a hard cash bet he's a Trump voter. DUI and violence: the hallmarks of a Trumper.
