Thank you

Just look at the jackasses on this forum

I’m ashamed for them to be so bent they find tragedy funny

That kid looks like any other private schooled southern kid

A horrible accident....so what if someone drank..someone could be going to work to or falling asleep etc

I drive six figures miles each year

I see a lot of sad things

I’m first on scene of a fatality at least once every 24-36 months

I purposely carry blankets and towels and rope in my FJ

I always stop to help and in fact run to help unless it’s too late and explodes

Seen that too...first time my oldest boy saw death up close at around 14

He was like dad do something....the car was like a marshmallow on the coat hanger too long....immolated

A bonafide Outlaws MC nomad patch had run over by then and told my boy if your daddy runs into that fire it’ll be the end of him too

The driver was strapped in upside down

Awful

Maybe he was drinking too...let’s all yuck it up....too funny right..

Or the truck driver I helped pull out impaled on his steering wheel gasping his last just four months ago between Chattanooga and Dalton after his rig jackknifed on ice ...boy now that was hilarious too come to think of it...right

Hell Im still busting a gut

It’s funny right?

Seen my share of violent auto accidents and some deaths as well. We all cope differently and I confess I laugh at some of those now and again probably as a coping mechanism.

Who can say for sure what was going trough the minds of the father and the son but you can bet this wasn’t the outcome they were expecting. People do stupid things and some people are unfortunately in accidents, whether preventable or not. The stupid things are easy pickings for joking and laughter.

I bet if people go down to any police station they would be shocked at the humor by the officers. They used to call that gallows humor. Laughter does help.

So sorry that you & your son had to witness that fiery accident. That must have been horrific, especially for him at age 14.

Thanks for your post. Since I know the victims’ family, the article & the mocking comments were hard to read.

Here’s what happened: The Son had left work around midnight and, unfortunately, had a few drinks before heading home.

The Father was on his way to work & the son was on the wrong side of the road when they collided. The accident happened before daylight & that road isn’t the safest at the best of times.

The Grandfather isn’t in the best of health & I’m afraid that this will finish him off.

The family isn’t wealthy but they have done a lot for the community. No one deserves to go through such a tragedy.

Please pray for the family. Thanks.
