Miguel Colon was crossing East Gun Hill Road in Baychester with his 6-year-old son Sebastian early yesterday evening when he was fatally run down by an enraged driver with a history of drug and arson arrests. According to police, the driver of the Infiniti, Mark St. Pierre, had been arguing with his wife in the parking lot of a nearby Chuck E. Cheese and sped off furiously. Before hitting Colon, he had already slammed into two cars, and a witness tells the Post the vehicle was traveling "at least 85" when it struck Colon, who was able to push his son out of harm's way before his death. St. Pierre allegedly continued driving, hitting several more cars until his vehicle was too wrecked to continue. (The occupants of those vehicles escaped with only minor injuries.) St. Pierre then tried to stagger away, but witnesses chased him and he has soon arrested. Colon had been carrying Sebastian's bicycle when he was run over, and according to the Post, the boy was later heard saying, "I need two pieces off my bike. Can you give me two pieces for memories?"

What a goddamn son-of-a-bitch!
That last line is too damn heartbreaking.
that sob better be ready to spend the rest of his life in jail~!
There are times when impromptu justice meted out by an enraged street mob doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Any chance the courts can sentence St. Pierre to public stoning?
exactly what i thought.
people who caught him should have beaten him to death.
I'm sure he wasn't totally unscathed.
Tragic...So sad.
RIP Miguel Colon. Burn in hell Mark St. Pierre.
WTF could happen at Chuck E. Cheese that would possess someone to do this horrific thing? His wife wouldn't let him get sausage AND pepperoni on the pie?
Chuck E Cheese and violence is a common occurance.

"pizza-centric violence" is definitely making it's way into my vocabulary. nice find.
This St. Pierre sounds like a real winner. It's too bad there wasn't mob justice.
Since the murder weapon was a car I would imagine that the DA's office won't be pressing charges and this scumbag will be free in no time.
Precisely.
Sounds about right to me.
This is a tragedy for the Colon family, and thoughts go out to them. That it began in the parking lot of a Chuck E Cheese is so pathetic. St Pierre and his wife: high-rollers.

After being the reason that child has to ask for memories of his dad at the scene of the crime, I would hope St Pierre would have to conscience to want to kill himself before somebody else does it anyway.
oops - "have the", not "have to."
Anybody notice how ironic the driver's name is? St. Pierre is no saint.
Scumbag.
