That happened a long time ago, around 1952. Doc Daffin was the Sheriff tho I don’t recall seeing any deputies. To this day, when driving through Southport I have a mild feeling of dislike for the place.

I wonder if the downed power lines had any bearing on this?

I saw nothing in the story that indicated power lines. Looks like a head-on in the middle of the road.

[Allegra]

How terribly sad.

Prayers up for this man and his family.

The charge should be dropped.

Bachnicki suffered an injury to his left rotator cuff and cuts to a knee and hand. His shirt lapel was ripped and his radio microphone was broken.

Tough sh^& ... stay out of a dad's way when he's in this situation.

circlevilleherald.com has an article and a photo of the scene. It stated that power lines fell on the dump truck.

Understandable.

Years ago, during my divorce, with a nasty custody fight going on, my ex moved to another county and I had a few run-ins with the local LEOs there. All I wanted was to have contact with my son. I still have anger toward the whole department.

Hope your daughter is doing well.

She is doing VERY well at this point, she had great care and God's hand. I only wish this Dad, and so many others could have had the same outcome. This situation has changed me, but even being through this, I could not imagine what this Dad, and so many others have to live with. These people are truly special.

[buccaneer81]

Ahhh. I see.

Leave it to the Dispatch to omit the details.

That incident made me think well of the Florida Highway Patrol and I guess I still do. That patrolman stood up for us and made it plain to the crooked locals that they weren't getting away with anything.

He could have probably charged my Daddy with attempted assault on the drunk's friends but did what was right instead.

[buccaneer81]

You must have just got out of bed. How’s the Green Zone?

[buccaneer81]

but did what was right instead.

As Archie and Edith sang, "Those Were The Days."

[Allegra]

The Green Zone is loud and shaky and I'm on vacation. I am on CDT. :-D

I don't work in the Green Zone, though. I work at a FOB just on the other side of the river in the Rusafa District.

[buccaneer81]

Have a great vacation!

Are they not, 'our' servants and not he master?

One law for the master race and one law for the little people. Think about that before you reelect the next joke of a sheriff.

[gogeo]

stand between a man and his and you’ve got it coming to you...

Well, no...there were trained rescuers there, and dad would have only been in the way.

[rface]

tragic. Prayers for all involved.

[CindyDawg]

I doubt the Dad would have interfered with the EMS. He just needed to be there. I used to work at an ER. During codes we would try to take people to another area. Most were more than willing. A few insisted on staying and we let them. I never had one of them interfere with care. The father should have been supported if he refused to stay back or released immediately afterwards if he was out of control. This officer needs to ask...if he had been in his shoes...what would he have done.

This is what you get when you have bureaucrats with guns. They become your master.

Best.

[Between the Lines]

Even if I could do nothing else, I would want to be with my son praying with/for him.
