Amazing number of unemployed onlookers staring at a dead body, thanks to a broken E.D.D. system.
You need help! Is that what you think?
Wow! Look at all the ghouls standing there, as if they’re at a Raider game. Their lives are so miserable that they treat a major accident like a sporting event. Way to go, guys
Looks like the crowd was probably having lunch outside at Denny’s, as that wall looks like the one right in front of the restaurant on Somersville.
Those were not ACCIDENTS! They were crashes resulting in a fatality and injuries. Look up the definition of “accidents.”
Medical isn’t an accident?
What was “medical” about these two crashes?
