Today's Blog brought to you by the Judicial System


Today an attorney's office called to set up a meeting with Tom. We got it set up and then she called back in a panic. It seemed the attorney was on her ass about having wanted to meet with the investigating officer's of the wreck. So I said I'll try. You can never bet on having a meeting with police. They could get called out or they may just not want to meet. LOL So I called Tommy (one of the officers) and we chatted for about a half hour. LOL Got a meeting set up. As we were talking he told me the DA had dismissed charges against this truck driver that caused the fatal wreck. The idiot driver had reflux crossed two lanes of traffic and a huge grass median hitting another car head on.

Because this driver had reflux the DA said he wasn't going to prosecute. Excuse the FUCK out of me? The stupid ass had hot wings at 1:00am has an acid reflux attack a few hours later and he gets off scott free with killing someone! Where the hell is justice in that? He was responsible and the DA was too much of a coward to even try. I have no pity for this driver. He ate food he KNEW would be bad for him and then drove. He could have avoided that. If he had had a stroke, heart attack something along those lines I could see where they may say it was beyond his control. BUT Acid Reflux?! It was his choice as to what he stuff in his face and now a person is dead because he was an idiot.

They had a 105 car pile up in the fog. The DA (different one)goes out to the scene tells the police they don't have to investigate. It was an act of God. BULLSHIT! It was all because this dumb ass truck driver going over the speed limit into a fog bank ran up on a pickup truck that had slowed down because of the fog. Jackknifed the tractor trailer blocking ALL lanes of the interstate. 104 cars later and 5 deaths and the DA wouldn't prosecute. He was lazy and didn't want to be bothered. 5 people lost their lives because a dumb ass couldn't be bothered with slowing down. That is the 2400 pictures I had to scan a few months back. Nasty... Yeah the fog was an act of God, as they say. However driving with your head up your ass is NOT an act of God. The photos are amazing. Not the ones of the people but the cars from the air. Honestly I'm surprised there weren't more deaths. There were actually what two wrecks. The second set behind the first were caught on a state troopers dash camera. It was pretty cool looking. I know I'm weird but when you watch the video it's interesting to watch the way the vehicles hit and how they move afterwards.

Still back to the rant... both of these guys got off with killing other people because of their stupidity. Now I know stuff happens but... logic tells you to slow down when you drive into fog where you can't see. It wasn't like this guy had just entered this fog bank either. It was either a mile or half can't remember right now. The jackknife could have been prevented. Which would have prevented such a huge wreck. These people had no place to go. Except one truck driver. He actually left the road and stopped in the grass. He didn't hit anyone and no one hit him. Why? Because he wasn't driving with his head up his ass.
