SO wabbit your telling me that your going to be remorse about this for awhile. Your going to lose sleep and bascily your life is going to be turned into a living hell? Thats real grief. Not this hollywood BS I hear so many people put out there to seem like they care.

 I'm calling it like it is.... a horriable event that isnt going to make me lose any sleep over and odds are I wont even remember it in say a month or so.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Batdog... I fail to see the relevance of your argument.

You took the time to post "Why do you care?"... basically... you care that someone cares about something that you don't care about.  Its really quite ironic.

The incident itself is horrific.  Leaving someone to die in your garage is horrific.  Being a member of the medical community and doing this is horrific.  If I had a say... this lady would receive the death penalty for her actions.

But I don't.  So I read the thread, comment on it, and move on.  I'll remember it in a month... I guarantee you that.

I'll also remember that someone thought it was silly that people would comment on it... then decided to comment on the silliness of their comments... taking it to exponential silliness.

Neg Bat...shortly after my initial reaction I was joking about it.  But then I'm a bastard...you shoulda heard what I had to say about the Columbine kids after hearing about it from everyone on and on, over and over at home and at work for two weeks.  I thought one of my co-workers was going to cry for me!

How sad....I don't mean in a "Hollywood" sort of way, but really sad that people can read about this level of inhumanity and shrug it off like it was nothing.
When I first read this I was almost certain that it was a Satirewire or Onion post. But this is sick. She had a man crying for help and she just apologized and left him. Then she apologized some more. Sociopathic comes to mind.
Yes xbat this does have an affect on me. Will I lose sleep? Probably not, but I will share this story with friends. Maybe the overall consciousness of our Country will be raised a smigin starting with my little circle of friends. Maybe the acceptance of drug use will drop a little more. Maybe its enough just to care and feel for the poor slob.

Not caring about things like this is not an option for a civilized society.....think about that.

Batdogshit,

I'm only sorry it wasn't you, or a close member of your immediate family locked in a garage, stuck through a car windshield, dying a slow, agonizing death.  In THAT case you'd be right.  I prolly wouldn't give a toejam.

I hear ya bat, and it made me feel vaguely uncomfortable for a few minutes.  I imagine I'll think about it abit on and off for then next few days.  That's about it.

I guess I'm just not that surprised.  I mean OH MY GOD...you mean humans can be completely immora????

Stuff like this happens every single day.  You're all pretty smart guys, you know this.  I'm not happy about it, but thounds of people die in horrible cercumstances every day, I don't wring my hands and get upset about it.  It's not a matter of scale though, it just doesn't affect me...literally.

Okay, so you think it's a horrific act, and then you go and wish it on someone else...nice.

Yes, yes it would.  The circumstances would be different.  I think that's the point he's trying to make.  This month aprox. 10,000 people will die of starvation in Africa, do you care?

Do you know what hitting a pedestrian will do to your insurance rates? Anyway she said she was sorry. Hell, I would have clubbed the piece of trash to shut him up after listening to about an hour's worth of him moaning in my garage. She put up with that stinkin whiner for 2 DAYS.

As a taxpayer I'm GLAD she did the right thing and didn't take him to the hospital for free medical care. Why should all of us have to pay for his medical treatment? The dude was probably jaywalking anyway so it serves him right.

Have you ever smelled a homeless person? They stink. I left my car unlocked one time and some damn wino crawled on my back seat and took a nap. I didn't notice him at first so I hopped in my car and started driving when my nostrils were assulted by that smelly piece of flatulent garbage. I didn't know what it was until the wino had a phlem spitting coughing fit, and it startled me so bad I nearly had a wreck. I stopped and drug that sucker out right there on the middle of the freeway, and even though it was snowing a blizzard I had to drive with my windows down. That car stnk for months, so my sympathies are with Chante Mallard- she will NEVER get the smell out of her car.

I do when I hear about it.  

You can't think about being that guys stuck in the windshield and not be "moved" to outrage.  If you can, then you're a sick fuk.
