I'm sure that possibility torments him to this day.
And NOBODY KNOWS how they would act in such a horrible situation.
I have had several emergency situations in my life.
In one I was too frozen with fear to move and help anyone.
In two other ones I risked my life and saved drowning people, and in another I saved the life of someone burning to death.
The fact is you never know how you will act until it happens.
Just curious - during your moments of being "frozen with fear", did you walk into town, get a ride home, and take a nap before doing anything?
yeah like the guy in vegas who prevented a RAPE
He changed his mind
You have a big problem with the concept of personal responbibility, don't you?
It's not his fault he was out partying without his wife...
It's not his fault he was trying to nail some chick who wasn't his wife..
It's not his fault he took her back home to his place...
It's not his fault he was drunk..
It's not his fault he got in the car with the girl anywa...
It's not his fault he drove off the bridge...
It's not his fault he ran away..
It's not his fault there was an air pocket that kept her alive for ate least 30 minutes...
It's not his fault he didn't flag anyone down for help..
Can you see John Wayne doing these things?
Can you see your average man doing these things?
WTF is wrong with you?
Hey, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
and BTW, sorry to tell you there is no easter bunny.
You're 100% wrong, Jorge. Many of us know EXACTLY what we'll do in such a situation.
Ah, but there's the problem! He wasn't frozen with fear. This was not the case of someone looking at an emergency and not knowing what to do. This was not the case of temporary paralysis.
This was a person who deliberately did nothing for 8 hours. Who walked past a hourse near the accident without making the slightest effort to alert the occupent of the crash. Who called his lawyers and friends way before calling the police. Frozen with fear???? I think not.
Forgive him? Like hell. If he wants forgiveness he has to show contrition. The only thing he ever cared for was his damn political future.
If they were burning to death how could you save them? Sorry to pick nits.
BTW, the fact that people here call a spade a spade and point out that Kennedy was a coward does not make anyone here look bad. What Kennedy did, or rather what he did not do is open for commentary. It's absurd to say that any comments about Kennedy make anyone here look mean or nasty. Let's ask Mary Jo's corpse what it thinks......
(crickets chirping)
As best I can tell Mary Jo agrees with those of us that look at Kennedy and want to puke becuase he's been given a pass because his brothers both got shot to death while in public office. I mean really, that's the deal, because Ted is a Kennedy and his bothers got dead the media have given the fat pig a pass. And they let him do or say whatever he pleases. Well, that goes both ways and people here have the same right to say Kennedy is the coward he is and always has been.
