Get a life.
Not funny. Tragic.
You’re probably a worse driver
Yes, Joan. Tragic. Thank you. You are a very kind person.
And as for you, Roger Lindsey, your comment was definitely not funny. Don’t you realize that that man probably had a family? I happen to know that family very well, and in particular l know his aunt extremely well. She is a very dear friend of mine. Further, that man that died this morning was staying with us. And now he is dead. He’s not coming home tonight, nor is he ever coming home again. Please show some compassion and respect for that gentlemen and for his grieving family. In the future, please think twice before you post such a callous remark. Every person has a family and the loss of any person affects their family.
Roger Lindsey, re your crude and careless comment: the bus driver stayed on the scene for at least four hours. How do you think the driver felt, looking at a dead body and knowing that he had just killed somebody? Have you ever killed anybody, intentionally or by accident? Have you ever had a family member or friend instantly and horribly killed? Why don’t you think about that the next time you try to be funny. You are not funny.
Yes, Joan, tragic and not funny. This news hits very, very close to home.
Roger Lindsey, no man is an island. Every death leaves behind a grieving family. l happen to know that gentleman who was killed this morning. My very dear friend is his aunt. That gentleman was living with us. He is not coming home tonight, or ever again. My friend and her family were very upset by this tragic news this morning. Please show some respect for the deceased and for his grieving family. Thank you.
Yes, Joan. Tragic. Thank you. You are a very kind person.
