Damn, we were out there then. probably another baddie Maryland driver

People get so nasty about parking spots, I have at times, but this is extreme. Hope the woman is doing better by morning.

Too many people say "It's always been like this, we just hear about it more because of the internet". I respectfully disagree, people are going insane.

Why taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview when Franklin Square is right around the corner? Good thing her injuries were non-life threatening.

I just thought it was me thinking the world has gone mad . sheez not just people driving but in everyday life .Whats your thoughts anybody ?

More and more people are just losing it over stupid stuff and now this woman has to pay the price, over a stupid parking space. I swear more people out there need to be on medication for mental issues. Karma is a b*tch and I'm sure the suspect will get theirs. Praying this victim makes a full recovery.

Just found out he has another familing living in his place in Texas from right out of dallass tx I THE wife must remain in the house thats selling in baltimore to keept it in prestene shape to be showed .and be his and hers doormatts ..I am not thinking of leaving .....take her and please leave me alome NO REASON FOR YOU TO BE HERE ANYMORE ........Sooooo just go and be with her ..take care of buissness and go be with our midlife crises michael

Probably due to bad parenting, uncaring teachers, lazy police, speed cameras, flouride in the water, or...?

Whatever, Laura

The Avenue is crazy on Friday nights! BTW:Franklin Square may have been on by-pass because it is always busy and Bay View could see the women sooner. Also, Franklin Square in not a Trauma Center.

Perry Hall used to be such a peaceful and rural area.....urban sprawl. and section 8 housing is to blame
......

Amen Steve, amen.

A belief in a god/bringing that concept into this story has about as much to do with someone's impulsive anger issues over a parking spot as politics has to do with religion. Separate them conceptually and the Country will begin to heal. Until that happens, you will see people leading silly mini-crusades (pun intended) that will keep us perpetually preoccupied, when we should be fixing our economic and physical infrastructures. We need to build for tomorrow and stop trying to impose our opinions and wills upon others.

We also need bigger parking lots, apparently.

Plain and simple you need the Lord as bitter as you sound.

Couldn't not make a comment on this....there is plenty of parking...but I work in a parking facility and see a lot of drivers drinking & getting behind the wheel... this and just plain meaningless anger is a bad combo. The person struck may not have wanted to go to Franklin

Btw there is plenty of parking...there is a whole empty lot behind Staples and is used by the weekly flea market parkers hardly ever use....WALK PEOPLE !

One of two reasons why they went to Bayview. 1) Bayview is a mini trauma center, setup to handle the more severe then a er can handle. 2) Franklin Square might have been on bypass also known as yellow alert, therefore Bayview is the next closest ER. The patient does not get a choice, you go to the closest hospital.

And just think - we still have over 3 months to go 'til Christmas. Imagine what it will be like by December 1...

Thanks to the pressures of overcrowding the areas we live in people will continue to compete for their own little space wether it is a parking space or a space in traffic no wonder folks living in highly populated areas exhibit this bad behavior. Maryland is getting just like New York for rudeness. I travel I the rural South, Virginia and North Carolina thanks to the expanse of open living areas people are kinder and very polite, typically you hardly ever hear someone laying on their car horn just because the guy in front of them is late getting away from the traffic light.

People...get out of the car and walk...it won't hurt you...and pay attention to cars around you...I have had people actually go around my car with my signal on and slip into the spot I was waiting for.

I accidentally removed my comment above. Yes, this has everything to do with the left removing God from society. People in general have no morals, no respect for each other, and a pathetic level of selfishness that exceeds that of any child. This is clearly the result of the lack of the teachings found in Church. Anyone who denies it is simply lying to themselves. Especially Sherri. This wasn't a simple hit and run. They hit her on purpose because of the argument. READ.

Everyone is saying this woman is paying the price...I'm not saying that the hit and run driver did the right thing, but it takes 2 to fight. If I encounter a driver acting like a jerk, I have 2 choices, to be a jerk back or to back off and stay away from the jerk. Getting into a confrontation and keeping yourself in a confrontation are 2 different scenarios. Be kind to one another...it goes a long way.

OOoo, I forgot about laziness! Thanks for that, Tim - right on target with that one!

And Jason too. What are you even talking about? You think this was a "silly mini crusade"?

Exactly Jeff. You never know what lind of wack job you are dealing with. Just don't engage.

I'm going to have to say it's a combination of entitlement, inflated sense of self importance, lack of civility and respect, AND laziness to the max! The person who fled the scene is an absolutely pathetic specimen of humanity.

Is the parking lot under video surveillance?

No problem Jason. I think the lot does have cameras. If not it is irresponsible in this day and age.

Regarding the left removing G-d from society: caring for others, treating your neighbors as you would want to be treated, etc. are the BASIC tenets of major religions. You know all those social programs the right wants to shut down and the liberal left is demonized for supporting? Yeah? That's what those social programs do. The left didn't remove G-d from society. If anything they support the practice of what religious folks would call G-d's message. The only thing removed was the use of a diety's name and prayer type because not all of us practice the same religion!

And back to the reason any of us are commenting on this, i hope the victim has a speedy recovery and the driver is brought to justice.

Don't worry, that ignorant uneducated driver will end up in a wreck one day...what goes around comes around

prozac would've prevented this ( check my spelling and my typing)

Good thing they didn't just throw down leaving a pile of hair extensions and fake nails all over the parking lot.

"That's why they call it Franklin SCARE...they will kill your as* if you go there for anything " to quote " RNinbalto " I didnt want to say it, but this has been the word for years

something similar happened in fells point last year , remember ? a feud over a parking spot led a man to strike another man in the head with a piece of concrete,,,,,,,,,, I forget if he died or not I believe he did

quote from the Sun Paper (over a stupid parking space ? an animal has more couth)
"Sian James was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday for hurling a chunk of concrete that killed an off-duty Baltimore police officer last year during a heated argument over a parking space, The Sun's Tricia Bishop reports."

I try to do any shopping @ The Avenue the middle of the week and in the morning or after lunch because there are so many nasty people. I have a handicapped permit because of my legs and walking can become a problem, everytime I have been to The Avenue someone is taking up at least one handicapped spot and sitting in the car waiting on someone. This really makes me mad, if you are sitting in the car you can wait at a back lot and the person that you are driving can call you when they are done before they leave the store they are in so you will be in front of the store when they come out. I have had to drive around for an hour on the weekends looking for a parking spot because I can't do the walking. People also park in the handicapped spots without a legal permit or tag, or park in the 30 minutes spot for over an hour. I do alert security about these cars and if a person is in a car I will get out and ask them when they will be pulling out of the spot. If they are nasty to me I point out to them that they are parked in front of a store and everybody is looking for parking and it is very rude of them to sit in a spot. If we can my husband will drop me off, park further away and meet me so we don't have to deal with the rude people. Not everyone there is nasty but it seems like more and more people are.

Honey go hal you seem to be very fair minded ( very objective) , yes the family has been beaking down over the years regardless of your relgious beliefs , lack of fathers in the house etc etc ( not to say single moms cant do a good job) but thers something about a man in the house most will agree

Parkvillehoney stated: Penny, that is why the insurance companies rate Maryland as having the most auto accidents so we receive the highest auto premiums.

Actually, according to industry studies, Maryland ranks #10 in insurance premium rates. Other factors play into insurance rates besides accidents and road rage. #1 state is Michigan. As reporter Des Toups notes: "Insurance on a 2011 model tops out at an average of $2,541 in Michigan, the highest rate in the nation. Its no-fault system provides what amounts to unlimited medical care, and about 19% of drivers were uninsured in the Insurance Research Council's most recent survey. "Driver responsibility fees" can add hundreds of dollars to the cost of keeping a driver's license, too. "

What's wrong with Franklin Square Hospital?

bet the driver was either a woman or black!!!!!!!!!!!

A suspect has been arrested, here is the Patch update: Driver Accused of 'Crushing' Woman Over White Marsh Parking Spot - http://patch.com/A-xPW0 - http://perryhall.patch.com/articles/driver-accused-of-crushing-woman-over-white-marsh-parking-spot

I have a Handicap parking hang-tag. During Christmas shopping season I parked in a 'regular' parking space was yelled at by another shopper to '...park that car in the handicap space and stop wasting parking space !'. NOW that is a switcheroo ! Thank Goodness I rarely need the Handicap hang tag.
