Hi BA!
I was just reading the local news. Some guy in a pickup hit a motorcycle last night...killed both people that were on the bike. Truck was in flames when the cops got there. No names released yet. The pickup truck driver is in jail on two charges of reckless homicide...blood test results pending. Why do people drink and drive???? It makes me sick. Be careful out there on your bikes to those of you who ride!!
Liberty.......they feel they have the right to do as they please when they please.
That is not what liberty means.
I agree. Saddens me that some person with no respect for human life can create so much despair for others. I have a friend who had her daughter killed by a drunk going the wrong way on the interstate. Her daughter's fiance and good friend were killed in the same accident. My friend's son was in the back seat and was not expected to live. He did but will never be a functioning member of society due to the damage caused to him by this accident.
And many on Ingo will argue that is what freedom means.
I disagree.....with prejudice.
There has to be a balance. We all have rights and nobody wants those trampled, but nobody should have the right to endanger other people through negligent behaviors.
Wow...better not turn this into a political thread! It just really made me sad to read the article and a bit anxious to find out who was involved. The last guy that got killed by a drunk while riding his motorcycle was hit not far from our house. The drunk that hit him sued the county over overcrowding in the jail and won. The county is now spending millions to build a new jail. We did need one because we don't have room for all of the meth heads, but it is screwed up when some low life can sue the county and get his legal bills paid by the taxpayers after he killed someone.
Whoops....there I go again. Getting fired up early this morning. It's going to be a long, interesting day. I have lots to do so better get moving.
Is everybody outside today?
