COVINGTON, Georgia (AP) -- A driver ran over three young children and two women in the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant Tuesday, police said. One witness described the man as having a smile on his face. A 2-year-old girl was in critical condition Tuesday night; two other children and a pair of adult sisters were in stable condition, authorities said. Lanny Barnes, 36, was in custody at the Newton County Sheriff's Office and faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, said Covington Assistant Police Chief Almond Turner. "All indications are that he intentionally hit them," Turner said. (Watch witnesses describe a "berserk" driver -- 1:16) There was no apparent connection between Barnes and the victims, police said. Witnesses said the car went over a curb as the victims left the restaurant, hit them and the building before backing up and hitting them again, police said. Barnes' mother, Mary, told The Associated Press that her son has battled mental illness. "He's been suffering with depression for years," she said, her voice shaking after being contacted by telephone and told by a reporter what happened. "Lord have mercy." Ryan Boldman-Snyder, 20, an employee at the restaurant, was on a break outside when he heard screaming, and said Barnes was "smiling the whole time." Witnesses tried to pull Barnes out of his car. Police officers finally pulled him out of the car from the passenger-side front door, Boldman-Snyder said. The victims were identified as Anita King, 36, of North Carolina and 2-year-old daughter Avery Nicole King; and Stephanie Casola, 33, of Covington and her children, Jacob Paul, 4, and Isaac Raymond, 3. McDonald's area franchise manager Bill Hall said the company was deeply saddened. "Our prayers are with the victims, the children, and their families," Hall said. "We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they investigate." Hall said that the restaurant, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta, would remain closed for the rest of the day and that counseling was being provided for employees.

Lynch that mofo. ___________________ I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. -Thomas Jefferson, |

What's with the calls for excecutions! Damn! People are idiots! Let's let the kid's dads tie his ass up on a post and punch the sh!t out of him for about two hours for everyday for the rest of his life.

Indeed, it sickens me to see the majority of people here actually advocating the death sentence for this, capital punishment should only be used as a means of prevention, not as a means of vengeance, a civilised society should be above such things, even thoughit's members perhaps can never be above it, since it remains a rather primal instinct, we cannot allow it to be institutionalised. And since imprisoning him for life will clearly prevent him from ever committing such a crime again, it should suffice. Not to forget Xavius point, what if he is mentally ill?

you start off implying that execution is too harsh a punishment and that he should get life in prison... and then imply that life in prison is worse than death.

Execution isn't too harsh a punishment, I said it was a unnecessary punishment, one that degradates the moral standards of a society... Plus I only used the latter argument in an attempt to disprove those who argue that life in prison isn't severe enough, by saying that some would even prefer death over it, perhaps not me in the end but...
