North Carolina parents arrested for letting their kid walk to the store. On his way home, he was killed by an SUV. The parents were charged with manslaughter.

And the driver of the SUV? No charges, suing parents for emotional damages of having to see their dead child after hitting them with their death machine.

North Carolina is the worst state in the union and it isn't even close. Nothing is worse than a population of people who have every opportunity in the world and still willingly, knowingly, consistently squander it all on self-absorbed idiocy.

At least Mississippi and Alabama have the excuse of low economic opportunity to fall back on. NC has gorgeous nature, a great public university system, is located along the Atlantic corridor, and yet they still insist on being politically regressive and culturally hostile at every possibility. I don't say this in ignorance, I've regretfully spent plenty of time there. Don't ask me what part I stay in to tell me your part isn't as bad, because the part you live in sucks too. The whole state is vile.
