You are a common POS with no care what so ever for anyone. What different does it make now. I hope the very worst in your life! But you making comments like that, I’m pretty sure your life is already miserable!
there literally are hundreds who ride motocycles in this area and you wanna say this on a post about someone who died? clown comment from a clown
Raymond was Right!
First this was a senseless tragedy. My heart goes out to this man, his family and friends. We’re probably all guilty of speeding needlessly at one time or another in our lives, some of us more than others. No one deserves to die because of that but nevertheless he did die as a result of his careless speeding. The investigation has come to that conclusion speed was the factor no one was charged. When I was a kid my grandpa would say when a car or motorcycle sped by too fast “ Well ole boy they will pick you up down the road”. So let it serve as a cautionary tale for all. Slow down follow posted speed limits they are there for a reason. So sad but expected when you throw caution to the wind. Just think – him or someone like him could run over your mom or dad just checking the mailbox or your kid crossing the street to play with a friend. That would be an even worse avoidable tragedy. I hope he rode right thru those pearly gates, speeding won’t keep you out of heaven but it just might put your family or someone else’s through hell.
