Also, he asked the attendant how to get to Front St which is where Amtrak is.
In a way, he wasn't too far off. Walnut (where the DoubleTree garage is, farther up) is one block over from King. He seems to have taken the wrong street up the hill, if he started on foot from the train station (perhaps getting off the bus near there on the 29th). In a normal state, he would have noticed, I'm sure, but in his condition, he was probably very confused that the garage he came upon wasn't the right one.
Some good thoughts here tonight.
I will have to sleep on it as worn out and work tomorrow. Will check back in the morning.
Let’s not have this story die - as I’ve said before Jack Wheeler did not deserve to die in the manner he did.
I'm inclined to think he was robbed VERY CLOSE BY and went to the first major entrance to a building. If there are several entrances..it may account somewhat for the disorientation. Remember, it's dark...AND
We're creatures of habit. We do A B C D E F G H every day...Just going into a different door in a building you've gone into 100 times....and wham...you're totally disoriented.
So I'll go back...John was not a regular in that garage in the video. He was cold. He was hurt. He wanted a minimum of help. Like just give me some damn directions....
I was totally angry that people would say he was homeless, disoriented, drunk....BUT NO ONE CALLED POLICE ON THEIR OWN?? The old "I don't want to get involved".
John just wanted an answer...I'm sure we've all dealt with something similar...very frustrating.
