I was going to make a cutting remark, but I will abstain.
Man, that’s just sad all around. I can’t imagine what the driver of the mower must be tormented with. Parents losing a child, the young lady living in the streets, it’s just all sad.
“She was a beautiful girl, beautiful young girl. She had a family that loved her, and, and, and for the trauma that they’re going to have to endure for the rest of their lives, this is, this is visions they will never get out of their head,” Martinez added, according to KYMA.
That’s great she had family who loved her. Why in the sam hill was she “homeless”? Why didn’t this loving family give her a place to live, if they were so loving and caring? If she was going through a rough time, why didn’t they help her? God knows how dangerous the streets are. They were ok with her being out in the streets?
How much did they care about her before she got killed?
If they were so loving, why would they let her be homeless? Why was she homeless?
A rather callous headline
Family is so upset about their poor daughter getting run over by a lawn-mower, but clearly didn't prevent her from doing drugs, nor did they mind her being homeless and sleeping rough in public parks
Now they found an entity with very good corporate liability insurance coverage. Jackpot!
Had to be a brush hog mowing high grass/weeds. Driver would not have seen her if it was a large tractor.
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. There was a grandfather who had his grandson on the tractor with him while mowing. Kid fell off the back of the tractor. Grandpa didn’t see him fall... horrible.
She was a junkie passed out in the park which is just a giant homeless camp.
The only concern the family now has is that they get a payday.
The question I have is how did she not hear the tractor? Aren’t they pretty loud?
“When the daytime comes, it’s time to go to sleep, it’s broad daylight, there’s a lot of traffic, a lot of people, what’s going to happen to me?”
That’s BS right there.
It’s been over 100deg.
How do we know she was alive when it happened? Tractors and brush-hogs are kinda loud.
Didn’t this just happen in Texas too?
The government doesn’t allow family to institutionalize individuals with mental or drug problems. There is not enough details to blame the family however, they shouldn’t be so quick to blame others.
The 27-year-old lady was “sleeping” in the park at noon. There are places to stay for the homeless, but these places have rules. It would be difficult to “sleep” in the park with a brush hog mowing close by without use of some drug or alcohol.
Prayers for all those effected.
“while she was sleeping”
I don’t think so. People who are sleeping will hear a lawn mower and wake up. Sounds to me like she was blacked out.
Its unusual for young women to be homeless. They can usually find a man who will take them in.
Back in my youth, would do a lot of bush hogging and hay making. Gruesome as it is, a bush hog will beat something living to death in no time.
A sickle bar, however, will snip off pieces and move on.
Many a fawn would be found legless in the hay. Very sad.
I feel for operator who was probably doing the best he could.
Mom could pick up the pieces of her body but not give her a place to sleep.
Prob a drug addict who wore out her family but…tough love can endly badly.
Something tells me she didn’t look like that just before the horrible accident.
Oh Deere.
I guess this would be a good use of a small drone. Fly it over the field before cutting.
