Default Rider ran down and killed during $27 drive off....hit and run

Very Sad,

Two scumbags fleeing a gas station without paying ran down and killed Iowa national guardsman and 30 year military veteran Bruce Mundy 49, then after seeing how severe the injuries were they fled on foot, leaving him to die in the street.

Yes that is sad, prayers to the family. This is also a prime example of how the legal system in this country needs to be fixed. I mean come on. The idiot who ran over Bruce Mundy shot two cops when he was 16! Was shot in the process and suffered brain damage and lost a leg so the DA didn't try him due to perceived incompetence? Please, he was competent enough to drive a car, flee without paying for gas and run over a motorcyclist.

Should have got the chair at 16...

Here in BC, you now have to pay for fuel in advance because a fuel thief ran and dragged the attendant for several miles. This new law is the deterrent to prevent it from happening again. Seems to me a deterrent might be to throw the POS in jail, but alas he got only two years, probably out in a few months. Our legal system up here is in bad need of a spine.

My prayers to the family. Absolutely Senseless! I sure hope Iowa has a death penalty. Based on the previous case I bet he pleads insanity.

This country has way to many lawyers! All they ever think about is becoming famous for getting guilty people off with very light sentences or no punishment at all.

That's all our government is made up of and look what they have done to our country.

Horrible news. Good thoughts to the family. I hope the Iowa PGR gets invited to show their respect for this fallen American hero.

Nope no DP here, he will most likely get away with manslaughter. You know kill a biker do a weekend in jail. System is broken. Frickin scumbags, wish we could line em up ten deep to save bullets.
