Been several of these cases last year. Are the bridgetenders blind or something?

Weird. There are many many cameras pointing at that walkway.

Thank you for confirming this. I thought maybe all they did was look out a window to see if the coast was clear. Maybe too much fog that day?

I’m being sarcastic but you see where I’m going with this.

Already charged with manslaughter. Alec baldwin has not been charged with anything.

Same principle: The person who operates a device has the responsibility for the effects of using the device. He should have known - it was his responsibility to verify. baldwin got away with it.

Can’t rule out sick fun. That’s where I’d place a big bet.

“Her bond is set at $20,000 and a judge issued a no-contact order on Friday, according to Fox 13.”

No-contact with whom?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Even with “/s” that is a mean comment.

[ealgeone]

charge her with a hate crime.

The perp looks like a recent or current crack/meth addict. Arrest her boss too.

[heavy metal]

wonder if she was texting and tending...

Later, however, she reportedly texted a friend: 'I’m here with the police I killed a lady on the bridge.' And she also reportedly told her supervisor - who also happens to be her mother-in-law - that she lied to the police before deleting the messages

“...a drawbridge connecting Palm Beach to Florida...”
-
Are there no editors/proofreaders anymore?

[antidemoncrat]

And the victim was white so the perp will probably get house arrest for 6 months.

[Born to Conserve]

Her supervisor, and whoever hired her should also be on trial.

One look at her, and it is obvious she should not be in charge of a draw bridge.

There are a lot of tasks like this that require a lot of attention but little action. Train conductors, pilots (after takeoff, before landing), navigating a ship or boat on autopilot, driving a "self-driving" car, watching automated processes, guarding Epstein's prison cell. Basically, you observe a process where nothing ever goes wrong, until something goes wrong. Some of these people take their job seriously, others watch youtube, surf the web, text, tweet, message, talk on the phone, even sleep. I'd bet this woman was distracted by one of those things.

Her supervisor is her mother-in-law.
