The people responsible for this tragedy will all attain the highest positions in our national government. They are, after all, Ivy League educated — which means they are brilliant and know how the rest of us ought to be living our lives.

Tell me about it. It was especially odd when the police released this mug shot.

Prayers to the victim and her family.

As far as the New Haven Register, they are an affirmative action employer. Above all else, apparently.

Drunk, out-of-control U-haul trucks are like those guns that suddenly jump up and start shooting everyone for absolutely no reason. Then it provides an excuse to place more controls and regs on them.

When U-hauls are outlawed only outlaws will have U-hauls!

No joke! It is basically incoherent. Unbelievable that they would print such a poorly written article in the Ivy League environs... Well, on second thought, maybe not...

This reads like a hit piece on UHaul. What if the truck had been a Hertz rental?

I'm Ivy League-educated (at Harvard). Never voted Democrat in my life. I don't presume to tell you how to live your life. Why in the world would I know that better than you? Most FR posters paint the Ivy League with too broad a brush.

when you’re run over by a truck full of beer, I’d say alcohol was definitely involved...

The article seems to be lacking a lot of details.

Was there someone behind the wheel? Was the truck left in neutral and it rolled away? Was the driver speeding or backing up?

There are a lot of questions I'd like answered before I make a final judgement on this incident.

No doubt, some Democrat legislator will propose legislation outlawing the transport of beer kegs in rental trucks.
