[I have tons of screenshots and details that I will add once I reach a computer]
Itās been a long time since Iāve been on tumblr, but I have a situation that I want to share for the sake of spreading the word about what happened in my hometown almost 2 months ago. This site is very good about spreading information, so I hope this works in favor of him, his family, and friends.
On February 11th (a Thursday I believe), a 12 year old boy and his friend (middle-schoolers) were involved in a hit-and-run accident (texting and driving). They were walking to school and Devon, who left early that morning to take a pair of shoes to a kid who was being bullied at school, took the most of the hit and died early the next weak due to severe head trauma (no other injuries, just his head). His friend was only bruised, but witnessed the entire thing and also able to identify the driver, who is a student that I attend high school with.
While he was dying in a hospital bed, she was at a basketball game snapchatting with her friends. She told everyone with certainty that sheās not going jail. She told one of Devonās classmates that she had a staring problem (Iām guessing she was staring because she was trying to figure out why sheās not in jail??). She has stated that she has refused to put her life on hold because of what happened.
Letās not forget that while Devon was bleeding out on the ground after she hit him, she went to McDonaldās and bought breakfast for her and her boyfriend and came to school.
It is March 25th and there have been no charges. Her license has either not been revoked or she is still driving illegally (I saw her driving this week). She was not arrested immediately but told by our chief police to āget out of townā, so her and her mother left for the weekend. Chief police helped have her car repaired. Her and her father have been sending out threats because they canāt take the heat that they have been receiving and also some other shitty statements have been made by her (I was one of the ones threatened and I also have other screenshots of posts that she has made on social media).
This description is very vague and not very well put together, but I WILL post links to his Facebook page āJustice4Devonā (search it if youād like) so you guys can get more information and also ways that you guys can help and support. Weāve harassed our local news channels and were able to get his story on the news, but we still need more. Our protest has already reached all the way to Indiana, Florida, and all over Alabama (where the accident happened).
Please reblog this post and help us get the word out about this. My friend did not leave this world so people like her could continue to walk alongside the rest of us.
