That elderly man wasn't in a rage. He was panicked &
tromping as hard as he could on what felt like the
brake to him. That family had a good reputation &
there weren't numbers of people coming forward to
testify what a hothead he was. He appeared devastated
and genuinely puzzled at what had happened. - Like the
young woman who was driving into her garage & thought
she was putting on the brake because her accelerator
felt like the brake. She panicked & drove through the
back of the garage into the back yard. Fortunately, she
wasn't on a street when that happened.

What I never understand is why people think McDonalds is a gourmet restaurant. It is a "Fast Food" establishment. Just take the damn mayo and squeeze it on your damn cheeseburger yourself.

This is just one more example of the people running around now who feel this supreme 'right' of entitlement. They live in this world and everyone around them is here to serve them, with Hollywood setting the example. This country was attacked over and over by terrorists and how dare a republican President follow his oath of office and try to defend it! They couldn`t care less whether this country was burned to the ground by terrorism, as long as "the proper President" is in office. The fact of the matter is who cares who is in office as long as he`s doing his job, but to these people it doesn`t matter. Having a democrat in office is more important to them than stopping terrorism. It`s all about "me me me", and they proved it by saying nothing when Clinton was in office and did the same thing militarily as Bush. They`re just incredibly selfish pigs.

He should be devastated. Call me cruel if you must, but I hope he goes to bed every single night with his head full of nightmares about what he did. If he was tromping as hard as he could on what he thought was the brake, and didn't stop when he saw the car moving forward towards a crowd of people- sorry, pops. Turn in your license.
