They showed it on the HLN news and the male commentator said they should have stopped and "beat" the snake, because there were kids in the car and so of course the little snake was dangerous. What a moron.

I can understand not pulling over if it is a bad area to pull over(looked like a highway) but the attitude sucked. I'll bet there would be an uproaar over it all over if it had been some fuzzy critter that could carry rabies instead of a little harmless snake.
