PITTSBURG – Last night, September 18, 2014 at around 11:51 pm, CHP Golden Gate Gate Communications Center received numerous 911 calls regarding a male pedestrian walking and dancing around in the eastbound traffic lanes of Highway 4, east of Loveridge Road.

Several more 911 callers reported seeing the pedestrian run from the right shoulder to the center divide. Two CHP – Contra Costa units were immediately dispatched to the scene at 11:52 pm. At 11:55 pm, more witnesses began calling in to advise seeing the pedestrian struck by a vehicle.

Upon arrival of CHP personnel at 12:01 am, a 33 year old Richmond man was found lying in the eastbound #2 lane of Highway 4, east of Loveridge Road.

Why is that funny? He was someone’s son….regardless of his actions, still a human being. Find some compassion.

Failing to see the humor in this. Sorry.

Julio Sep 19, 2014 - 1:33 pm

RJB, that is kind of low even for you. He did something stupid and died but he has family and friends. Come on.

Empathy: I’m glad no one else was hurt. Running over something as large as a deer, let alone a full grown man from Richmond, has enough impact to total a vehicle and hurt the innocent driver and passenger.

It could have been a lot worse. Imagine if the headline read, “Family of Five Killed While Swerving from From a Richmond Man Dancing on Highway 4”

I’m grateful that didn’t transpire. Thank God.

@cherry_crush

Cherry crush got smacked upside the head for always following and jocking RJB’s nuts. Sorry cherry, but I’m already taken. Please stop following me because you are now a level 5 clinger.

LMAO

We are God’s creation. You need to capitalize the G in “god”. It is called grammar. SMH

I was getting off the freeway at aprox 5 pm off Summersville, headed north towards car dealerships when a man walked across the street, right in front of traffic without even looking. a lot of cars stopped but I thought to myself, this fool is gonna get killed. He was between 5’6″-5’8″, slim build, about 150-160lbs, short shave cut with bald patch in front, walked with a limp and looked very troubled. he was either mentally challenged or high on drugs, or maybe both. I couldn’t help but think this guy is headed for trouble. I wonder if that was him?

Let it go thats what he gets for being stupid don’t waste county’s money..

You’re obviously are narcisstic, suffer from personality disorders or a psychopath because you don’t have any empathy for others. He could have had a mental illness. Unfortunately, we no longer have facilities for these folks, so it’s up to the community to try & watch out for people like this. You need intense counseling, you are laughing at this guy & chances you yourself suffer from a severe mental illness.

RJB Sep 19, 2014 - 11:32 pm

You mean a narcissist? Bad grammar and spelling to boot.

If he was high on drugs or mentally ill, obviously he posed a danger to himself and to OTHERS.

Please read my post above regarding how bad this could have turned out.

I think you’re the type of person that would believe everybody in this world is mentally ill except you. That’s called schizophrenia.

cherry_crush94565 Sep 20, 2014 - 11:24 pm

Just like YOUR the type of person who thinks nothing of others AT ALL. Unless they are JUST LIKE YOU.

@cherry_crush

Oh Cherry, still upset because I won’t give you the time of day? I know it’s hard, but as I’ve said before, I’m a happily married person.

Please stop getting all upset and following me around and posting to every one of my comments because I won’t date you.

You are just not my type.

Oh, and BTW, it is YOU’RE and not “YOUR”. Please learn how to use proper grammar.

That was somebody’s brother/son/father and he deserves some compassion. I also feel bad for the folks who hit him and will get to live with the fact that they had a part in his demise. Shame on those who left the scene.

I don’t understand why no one is citing Section 8 housing as the cause of this death. There are so many readers of this web site who blame Section 8 for every news story published here. Why the sudden change in perspective?

CaptainKlutz Sep 20, 2014 - 10:31 am

Please don’t feed the trolls!

RJB & ARMANDI
You two make me sick.. ESPECIALLY you RJB, all your stupid nonsense. Trash this filth that.. It takes one to know one. Grumpy old fart. Disgusting. God bless your soul.

RJB Sep 21, 2014 - 9:08 am

@cherry_crush

Listen Cherry, I’m a happily married person. I appreciate all the affection you give me by following all my comments and responding to them with such dedication and want.

Unfortunuately, you are not my type. So I’m going to ask you again to please find someone else who will treat you and love you, I’m just the wrong guy for you. I know it’s hard to hear this, but trust me, you will find someone.

Now, go bless yourself!

That’s one way to get rid of the Richmond trash taking over Antioch.
