Cold-blooded hitchhiker makes for tense drive on Memphis boulevard

Gotta love most of the replies to that. What a bunch of wankers! I love how they defend them by saying "How could they have known it wasn't venomous? Its very hard to tell the difference!" and people who basically imply "Only good snake is a dead snake". What a load of crap! I don't like hamsters, bees/wasps or our neighbors cats, but you don't see me trying to kill them or condoning thier death. TBH, one of our neighbors cat that has killed several of my mother in laws rabbits got hit by a car recently in front of our house. I comforted it until it died in my arms on the way to the vet. I didn't like it, but it didn't deserve to die or suffer, either. I really loathe these narrow minded, uncompassionate fools.

This video is a tragedy in my eyes. Regardless of what they thought it was or how they felt about snakes, the right thing would to have been to pull over, let it go and go on with thier life.

Well they got their 15 minutes of fame, tho negative as it is

Oh poor snake!

I like how people are defending them by stating it would have been too difficult or impossible to make one simple lane change over to an exit or the breakdown lane using their hazards.

I would place all bets that if this were a puppy, kitten, or other cute and furry animal on their windshield, that they probably "would have thought to stop" then...
