Something Bad On 46Not sure what is going on on 46 - - I think down around the Park and Ride parking lot on the hill - but LifeStar just landed there and the hwole place is shut down. Somehting has happened on the hill somewhere. Anyone have any idea what's up? Traffic is being diverted off of Rt. 46 W onto the road across from the county DPW. There is an accident in front of the strip mall across from the Hyundai dealership. I just had a brief glance, but it appears as though at least one telephone pole is down. God bless! H-Town Dad Jun 29, 09 9:46 pm Accident at rte 46 and east ave.Road closed by Shell.Also at top of mountain by A&P. Sounds like will be for most of the night. Poles and wires down as well as a transformer. We live off of Naughright and had lost power for 2 hrs. It was kinda of nice being "off-line" from the world for a while. Peggy Jun 29, 09 10:35 pm Single car accident into a pole,pole and wires and transformers down all over the road. Not sure of what was going on but from the 500 feet of skid marks he had to be really moving. earnhardt Jun 29, 09 11:06 pm yea it was a police chase.. which resulted in the car taking down the telephone poll.. think there was 2 patients.. one that was transported by ambulance deffinetly.. lifestar might have transported the other.. however i was hearing reports of a death so they might of just landed in anticipation of transporting.. or they might have taken the person.. When they crashed one of the victims was unresponsive but moving so i dont know what resulted from that. :/ I was leaving a buisness on 46 right before 9 pm and saw a green mustang being chased by a police car and all of a sudden a bang and it looked like fireworks right beyond the dealorship. It was really scary. I hope no one lost their life. spring Jun 29, 09 11:40 pm it was a friend of my bf's. The cop said they were doing donuts in a parking lot and were chased on 46 when they all of a sudden skid 500 feet and hit the telephone pole. the car was facing toward Gray Bar and the pole was on the drivers side. Police also told me that a passenger was thrown from the car. It's pretty bad. One was rushed by medivac to Morristown Hospital and friends of mine were on their way there. This is so terrible. I am so sorry for all those involved. We heard the bang of the transformer blowing, lost power for just a moment and then heard the sirens and the medivac and knew this was bad. Also, a pick up smashed head on into a light pole at McDonalds by fast food alley. Looks like he crossed over the rd...big mess there this morning. tomdee Jun 30, 09 8:11 am It was a police chase like everyone's saying. I don't know all the details but the chase started in Hackettstown and ended in Washington Township. It sounded pretty bad. Hope everyone's okay:-( It's hard for me to feel sorry for anyone who got themselves involved in a police chase. irresponsible children getting them selves in trouble Jesse Jun 30, 09 9:54 am Wasn't it a green mustang that crashed in front of St. Mary's a few weeks back? It also took out a pole and the electricity. One of our fellow posters took and posted a picture of it. Anti-evil guy Jun 30, 09 10:53 am The problem is that even though no one is physically hurt they still inconvenience and endanger many people. Everyone whose electricity was out was inconvenienced. Anyone who may have had some sort of real emergency yesterday may have been hindered due to the electricity being out. Plus the danger of food spoiling in everyones fridges and whatever. Its selfishness on whomevers part (no matter what age) for endangering the police, innocent people and inconveniencing everyone affected. I am glad no one is hurt. Hopefully they will not repeat their offenses. Its frustrating to say the least to hear of these things. You know what all you people who say you're not sorry I hope you die a horrible death. The police are at fault here. I saw them speed by like they were chasing a bank robber or something and then crash at First Hope. And it turns out it was just a kid doing donuts? Are you f'n kidding me? Way to chase them and not only cause them to get killed but you almost killed innocent bystanders. We need to put our police in check before more people get hurt. Shame on you Police. Angry Jun 30, 09 11:34 am I agree with Bryan and Jesse here, no sympathy for those who make their own problems. NotaNJNative Jun 30, 09 11:39 am I think these kids were stupid and irresponsible, but on the other side of that what were the police thinking engaging in a high speed chase over some kids doing donuts?? Don't their cars have that license plate recognition software? Couldn't they back off and get the address and go to the home? People in town could have been killed by all of this. Who knows, maybe the people in the car aren't going to make it. I think both parties were ignorant and selfish personally. Angry, if the kids weren't "running" from the police they wouldn't have had to chase them dumbass. The dumbass comment was for you wishing people would die a horrible death. Dumbass. OK - Some one said they HEARD that they were doing donuts. AGAIN this is all hearsay and not a FACT....Never Assume Just Me Jun 30, 09 12:57 pm It doesn't matter why the police were going after them. Whether it's for something serious or not so serious (i.e. doing donuts in the parking lot), when the police are behind you with lights and sirens, you pull over. Period. If you don't, things like this can happen and it's your own fault. Rachael Jun 30, 09 1:05 pm Does anyone have an update on the people that were injured in the car crash? lil_patience indicated that no one was dead or seriously injured, but I heard the helicopter and all the sirens last night as well as read the earlier post from mom of 1 that there was a transport to Morristown and a passenger thrown from the car - not a good thing. someone mentioned it being kids, any truth to it? I've been checking the NJ.com and Daily Record but haven't seen anything yet. I did see the skid marks that were mentioned before..not good. I'll just add that I've never lived in a town where accidents were so frequent!! Poles coming down and losing electricity around here are not unusual. Why this is I can't figure out! First Angry all the kids had to do was stop,they made the bad decision to out run the cops. If the driver had hit someone or crashed and people found out that the cops just let him go as you suggest everyone would be bashing the cops. Second yes they were younger people not sure if I would call them kids, and it didn't appear that there were any major injurys. I think the Medevac was more of a precaution then anything. And as I stated before to leave over 500' of skidmarks (sideways) they had to be really flying. Also it will be interesting to see if they had been drinking???????????? So I think our police did the right thing and if they chose to outrun them that was their bad decision. earnhardt Jun 30, 09 1:32 pm Yes the driver was flown to Morristown and released from Morristown within hours! The passenger was taken to Hackettstown! Again, neither were seriously injured....this is probably not in the papers yet because it had to do with a police pursuit and they are probably conducting an investigation!
Thanks lil_patience for that update on the people involved in the accident. It is nice to know that no one was seriously hurt - Now we can get back to the bashing of either the police for engaging in the chase or the driver for not pulling over when they should have. We live off of Naughright Rd. and we heard someone peeling out and laying rubber for a while. My wife was on the front porch and called me outside, she thought it was someone racing and called me outside. I also heard what sounded like someone racing or doing peel-outs. That would answer the speculation about donuts, makes perfect sense. Doing donuts for as long as we heard them, over a period of about 10 minutes or so, on and off, would only draw attention to yourself.......pretty stupid! stallie Jun 30, 09 4:12 pm Here's an article about the accident on Mountain Ave. - http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/...wn_cr.html#more A local man was involved in an accident in Mt. Olive - http://www.nj.com/news/local/ind...injured_in.html how come so many people on here bash cops fire and squad they are all here to make is better for us to live.and if people run from the cops even if it is doing somthing stupid most of the time tey are hiding somthing why else would they run.so i dont feel bad for any one who gets hurt running from the law. just to know Jun 30, 09 5:21 pm I know why the cops were racing....they heard the word DONUTS and flew to find them, loL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kelleo22 Jun 30, 09 5:46 pm
"how come so many people on here bash cops fire and squad they are all here to make is better for us to live" Nosocialism Jun 30, 09 6:21 pm Funny, I'm a liberal and I appreciate the police, fire & rescue squads, I must be in the minority and none of the words you used describe me. I wonder who the idiots are, LOL I was there and have the whole story. Given all the HIPPA hubub I can't post anything about the patients. But there is alittle more to the story then just running from the police for doing doughnuts. Bessie - well didn't you know there's only two kind of people? "Us" and "them". (no matter which of the two million labels they come up with) To Coralie who chooses to remain neutral and those who choose to bash the police officer for chasing, I must get into that debate. Sorry. For all of us who drive (and our passengers), it is nasty out there. Good defensive driving practices are no longer enough to feel safe on our roads. An accident has one meaning by my definition;, that is, without intention and not meant to harm. Having to risk that every time we drive is more than enough, but then we have to have STUPID added into the mix. This was not an accident. It was a choice!! The choice to be pursued, instead of having regard or respect for police officers (and others). I am not saying that I wish serious injuries or death upon anyone; but how about some consideration for the innocent human beings? The person was apprehended by way of STUPIDITY (there's that word again) due to losing control of their vehicle. smacku Jun 30, 09 9:03 pm smacku said, "The humor I enjoyed was an added benefit when I counted how many times I read the word "dumbass' in her brief but well summarized statement. " WOW RICH. smacku Jun 30, 09 9:49 pm Anyone that says that Police chases are ok are retarded. And until you have lost a oved one (who was innocently driving home from work) due to a police chase over something STUPID, you will just sit here and try to place blame and not look at the real problem here. Cutting donuts in a parking lot? Are you kidding me? Thats worth not only risking the officers own life but the drvier being chased and anyone in their path. This kind of stuff needs to stop. And as for Rachael's comment you thnk its ok for put many people's lives at risk over something stupid like this. Like I said until you lose a loved one first hand to this stupidity (again an innocent person driving home from work) you will make foolish uneducated statements like that. I NEVER bash police officers. EVER. They have a really tough job. HOWEVER, some need to really think before doing thigs sometimes, because things don't always end with loli pops and handcuffs. What ever happened to road blocks where you force the vehicle to stop instead of chasing them making them go faster on the cluttered NJ streets. Also earnhart, ok so that was the bad decision made by the driver? So the innocent people that could have been killed as a result, what decision did they have? Think people. Smacku I think you may need some anger management..........LOL!!! One more thing, the Police officers are trained to drive at faster speeds than average drivers. The people they are chasing however are not and they need to remember that. "well didn't you know there's only two kind of people? "Us" and "them". (no matter which of the two million labels they come up with)" Nosocialism Jun 30, 09 10:08 pm Nosocialism - I think you've really brought out the point I was trying to address. Certainly I believe in no such thing. Any rational person is going to understand that there are any number of viewpoints and types of people that you could never pigeon hole them into just two camps. You've chosen the particular label "Pro Tyranny" and instead of one person's talking points you adopt someone else's. I don't adopt anyone's viewpoint but my own. I don't use labels like that because they're simplistic and can't capture the broad spectrum of human thought. I don't side either with you or against you. I fall into neither your "us" or your "them". In most cases on true radicals every could. That's what my sarcasm was all about - the world is never black and white but all shades of gray. If you want to understand the folly of an "us vs. them" world, read Dr, Seuss's "Starz on Tharz." He knew. While I agree that the police are ~given~ permission to pursue suspects they cannot do so irresponsibly. I'm not saying that's the case here, but to arbitrarily say that any and every chase is OK is in itself irresponsible. "Getting the bad guy" is not always worth the risk, unless of course one feels that ego is more important than public safety. Doing "donuts", if that's the case, certainly doesn't sound like a reason to put the public at risk IMHO. justintime Jun 30, 09 10:52 pm I'll have to get that Cbel, maybe it will help me understand, LOL. Never heard of that Dr Seuss book. I went to you tube. It's actually in his book about about sneetches. Bessie: I don't know this happened. here. I tried to post this one for yogel on another thread. Seein the reality Seein: Can you be certain that it was just for "doing donuts", that the officer tried to pull them over and they chose to flee? Maybe the officer tried to pull him over because he was driving recklessly? Has it come out and I missed it, that the officer was speeding excessively or driving recklessly to pull this kid over? I can say I have never heard of disregarding an officers signal to pull over and they just let you go! Maybe we should all do that and we wont get tickets anymore! I do feel very bad for any innocent person that becomes a casualty because of a police pursuit but is it the police's fault when someone tries to outrun them? And even if the police did back off and end the chase, does that mean the person that was trying to outrun them in the first place would suddenly do the speed limit and drive safely? Again my deepest sympathy to anyone who has lost a loved one in this manner!!! Geez Christine, I really hate it when I feel compelled to keep addressing a really unimportant part of a topic; which is being a part of back and forth comments unrelated to the actual issue, but I guess I will anyway just one more time. On the contrary, I actually intended on my reply to Rich to be lighthearted. I wasn't annoyed, offended or in need of a chill pill at all. smacku Jul 1, 09 6:29 am Just wait till all the facts come out, i think there is a lot more to what happened then what first caught everyones attention. And yes Seeing, I feel for your loss if you lost someone due to a police chase and you certainly have every right to be upset over that. But what if they didn't try to stop these people whats next?. Were these kids just doing doughnuts and then when they got there jollys off they were just going to drive home safely? or were they going to go out cruising the roads? They were flying in that car just go look at the skid marks,its amazing to me that car didn't flip over several times. The cop was doing his job, thats what he gets paid to do remover the dirtbags from the street,if they choose to run then they deserve everything they get. earnhardt Jul 1, 09 10:17 am how bout the fact that the driver was drunk and underage? seems like the stupid rumors take precidence over that fact fed up Jul 1, 09 10:33 am I have noticed that, It has come out that they were only 19 and drunk, but we keep going back to the rumors of they were only doing doughnuts.. Even the article in the daily record said nothing about doughnuts...LIke a couple of other people who posted, I also was there. Like CJ also stated, I am limited to what i can say due to hippa My opinion on this matter is very biased due to my situation. I will admit that. However there should be another option. Like if you can read the plate then go to their house. I don't know. Im just saying. Also Whether or not they were doing donuts is besides the point. In this situation everyone was just very lucky that they were not in the way when this happened. And as for leaving an exit in a road block, whatever. Unless you are a hardened criminal when you see that many cop cars blocking a road Im pretty sure you will stop. Drunk or not. And as for the recent info, underage and drunk, maybe we need some tougher punishments for this kind of stuff. Underage or not I think the penalties are not harsh enough. The bottom line here is Police high speed chases are VERY dangerous to everyone, the officer involved, the chasee, and other motorists and something needs to be changed. Here's the other side of it...so the police get their man, but was it worth the cost? It happens too often. This isn't bashing anyone, just something to think about. No one wants to see the bad guys get away, but what about the good guys caught in the middle? I just love all of the Monday Morning Quarterbacking of the police here. Slow clap!! Bessie my point exactly. And um monday morning quarter backing?????!!!!! Did you not read my post about how this kinda thing hits home for me? Maybe you should read all the posts before you comment. Some of you people just don't get it. We're not bashing the Police. Stop trying to cause an arguement. Speaking for my self Im bashing the apprehension technique of high speed persuit. And how it is unsafe for all involved and not. I honestly don't think it's quarterbacking, you see it on the news all the time, innocent people being killed in the pursuit of the criminal. Do I think the criminal is wrong, absolutely, do I want the knock at my door to say my husband, wife, child was accidentally killed in the pursuit of them, God forbid. It's a problem and that's why most cities are changing protocol on how and how not to handle the situation. I'm not saying the Hackettstown police were wrong, they do a wonderful job, I have full respect for them, my point was there are 2 sides to it. I also hope that the kids that were caught and luckily not killed, are treated harshly by the courts for their stupidity and putting other lives in danger and not given a slap on the wrist because mommy or daddy got them a good lawyer to plea down their case to something lesser than what it was. JMHO Well said Bessie, now can we all just get along? Whatever happened to that guy Rodney? Denny Jul 2, 09 8:57 am John - the other "Rodney" :):) Christine - I know John was talking about Rodney Dangerfield - Denny was talking about Rodney King - watch the video at around .50 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgiR04ey7-M You know what yes what they did was stupid. But for all of you who are like I don't care its their own fault FU. Those 2 inolved in the accident happen to be friends of mine. We've all done something stupid in our lives. He made a stupid mistake. I just hope he comes out ok. They don't medivac someone to the hospital for no reason. So I don't believe for one second that the article that says it was minor injuries is correct. saphira Jul 2, 09 6:36 pm saphira CJ you must have had the same EMT instructor as me. The CYA thing is one of those things that stands out in my head at every call. LOL Do you guys know who pays for the medivac? Is it the patients insurance? justintime Jul 3, 09 11:14 am Your insurance pays for the med evac. If it is the state police your flight is subsudised by your auto registration fees. So it will be between $1,500 and $2,500. If you are flown by Atlantic Health or another air medical you are looking at a $6,000 bill. I just ran across this post and I am saddened by the people who state that they have no remorse for the persons involved in this story. more like 15k bill Jesse Jul 3, 09 2:56 pm The minor injuries are absolutely correct. if they are friends of yours then you would know that he was released that very same night. you dont get released if they are not minor injuries fed up Jul 3, 09 4:32 pm Astrat, I couldn't agree with you more. It's very easy to say your children would never do this or that, but you know what, you never know what your children will or will not do. That 19 year old and his passenger could have been killed, think of those parents, it could be any one of us with older kids capable of that kind of stupidity and bad judgment. I know parents in this area that buried their kids because of bad judgment and they were good kids. The only issue I have is when they get to plea down to less than what it was and they feel they're off the hook, easy to get in trouble again when there are no real consequences or a slap on the wrist. Bad judgment happens everywhere, rich, poor, young and old. JMHO Bessie Jul 3, 09 6:24 pm Dear Nosocialism, The H-Town Terrorist Jul 4, 09 12:55 am "The problem lies with the Police not doing there job correctly. If they were, none of this would have ever happened." justathought Jul 4, 09 10:39 am justathought - His name says he's a terrorist, then he starts out saying "we're not terrorists". He says he's not bashing on fire or EMS, and then does it to the police. What ever his opinion is it's clear, and it doesn't seem to be all that credible. I won't sorry and think you have to justify anything. Sometimes you have to chase. Sometimes you have to let go. Sometimes you can get a plate, or you know you'll get him down the road. One way or the other, it's a judgment call. I think if the cop just took the license plate number and called for assistance in this case, there should never have been a chase ,God forbid if any one was in front of this kid or should he encountered a red light at east ave and 46 who knows who lives he would have taken. It is very upsetting. spring Jul 4, 09 9:13 pm We were more than eye witnesses to this, selfish desperate act on the part of the fleeing driver and equally dangerous actions of the trained pursuant. Good point spring. Now for all the people saying well not only were they driving wrecklessly (oh and by the way, the paper said the officer observed them drving wrecklessly, if you're doing donuts, guess what kind of ticket you get? Wreckless drving) they were also drunk, let me ask you something. If the officer never got to pull them over, how did he know they were "under age" and "drunk"? They didn't. So there for, the only reason for the chase that was known to the officers at the time of engagement was WRECKLESS DRIVING. If you werent there then you just know rumors! somestillcalluspig Jul 5, 09 2:24 am Well that is great to hear that the driver and passenger are ok. nd noone, well, I never said anything bad about the officer involved in the chase. If you knew my experience with losing someone do to a chase I think your opinions on chases would be much different. But it's non of your buisiness so what I have stated is my opinion in which I am entitled to. As are you. Just DO NOT accuse me of bashing the Police. I have not done that and once again I will say this, I am bashing the apprehension technique of high speed chases and I think something needs to be done to change this. You know, you just hope that you don't have to lose a family member or friend to try to open your mind that police chases might not be a good idea. While I don't have anyone in my life that it has happened to, I read the papers and watch the news and know it happens. I don't want to have to learn it first hand. Bessie Jul 5, 09 11:38 am jail for a couple days?? wow, he surely learned his lesson.. these people need a reality check, because i know the two people involved in the crash also, and they arent good kids. this didnt teach them anything, and they will continue to screw up. o and the guy wasnt in jail for a few days i saw him he next morning Jesse Jul 5, 09 1:31 pm You are correct Seein, high speed chases are very dangerous. I say shoot the tires out the moment the vehicle starts to pull away, They'll stop. whitey Jul 5, 09 1:56 pm wow thats pathetic, i would never bail my kid out if he did that.. do parents ever hear of teaching there kid a lesson? tough love? apparently not. obviously Jul 6, 09 3:22 am If the guy involved in the police chase wasn't a bad guy? then what was he doing drinking and driving? a drunk behind the wheel is a bad guy! do not blame the police for the wreck, they were doing there jobs, let's blame the not so bad guy doing the running off and driving while drunk. What if he killed a innocent person or child, wake up people! chrisb Jul 6, 09 8:25 am you yong folks on here need to learn not to drink and drive. BrotherDog Jul 6, 09 8:35 am Wow I swear some people cannot focus. chrisb, if your read all of the posts here you will find, that most of these people were not bashing the Police. And we do blame the driver running. BUT there could have been casualties because of the chase also. You need to do some research and look at some statistics before you comment on something you have no idea what you are talking about. Seein the Realty you are lost you will never get it, you have no idea what you are talking about, don't bash me, we pay for these idiots, taxes police wages and insurance to say the least, I don't need research, the guy was wrong, and how old was this idiot? I bet not over 25. driving drunk is against the law, doing donuts in a parking lot, against the law, running from the police against the law!!! we is your head seein the realty, maybe you need to really see the realty.. you must be friends with this ass##@@e. And finally I say reread my post, you obviously didn't get what I said and I dont have to look at stats, I pay insurance here, and pay taxes here and I am allowed my own opionion, go back under your rock where you came from. chrisb, relax brother. Getting the bad guy is NOT always going to happen. Public safety is wayyyy more important. So please chill out and accept the fact that sometimes the bad guy will get away. It's a judgment call by the police and we have have faith that they will put public safety first. That's life... justintime Jul 6, 09 10:40 pm Actually chrisb, if you would, once again, read the posts before making, once again, uneducated assumptions I do not know the person. Nor do I care too. Yes what he did was wrong. And no Im not bashing the Police. My God how many times do I have to repeat this. Read ALL the posts before making stupid comments. I lost a loved one, who was innocently driving home from work, due to a high speed chase over something stupid. So my head is in the reality pal. I have seen the reality and it sucks. And so i say to you, hopefully if this ever happens to you, that insurance and those taxes you hold so dearly will help you out. And as for the rock, um Ive been here for a while, can't say I've heard much from you. Maybe that's a good thing. Bottom line here is, again, read ALL the post before commenting. Not just a few. seein is right about reckless high speed chases that are out of control. the cops need to learn when to break them off. BrotherDog Jul 7, 09 7:23 am unfortunately this one had a bad outcome... been there Jul 7, 09 7:41 am Seein the Realty why must I read other comments? don't I have a right to my own thoughts? How do you suggest cops catch bad guys when they are in vehicles?? And yes they need to learn how to break them off? but what is your suggestion? I have been in front of cops that all of a sudden turn on there lights and give high speed chase, infact it happens all the time on Mountain Ave. obviously the bad guys are running for a reason, not real upstanding citzens.I am sorry for your loss but don't blame the people who are trying to protect us and trying to catch these idiots.Your loved one was proably in the wrong place at the wrong time and maybe wasn't paying complete attention to traffic around them, but the bad guys are just not gonna turn themselves into the police station saying" here I am I was involved in a criminal offense this afternoon and instead of the police chasing me I just decided to give myself up." "...and maybe wasn't paying complete attention to traffic around them..." justintime Jul 7, 09 8:59 am Chrisb I think you need to stop while you are ahead. AGAIN you have no idea what you are talking about. There was no time to pay attention to anything when this happened, bottom line, end of story. I am friends with ALOT of Police officers, Who ALSO think that high speed pursuits are very dangerous and need to be changed. And ONCE AGAIN I'm not bashing the Police. Seein...I'm telling you, that's why you have to head on over to where life is calm and reasonable, LOL. This was in the "Odd News" category on Yahoo today, and I thought I'd lighten this up a bit. :) I know Bessie. I don't know why I bother with thes idiots over here. These people have alot to say when they won't show up at a HH. Uh oh, I don't join the HL clique at their monthly/weekly/daily/hourly happy hours so that must mean I am a bad person. I'm going to go crawl under a rock now because I am not worthy to comment in the presence of the almighty HL club. justintime Jul 8, 09 8:00 am Chris, the next Happy Hour is 7/16, not sure of the spot yet, but will be sure to post it when it's decided. Always like to meet new people to put a face with the post :) I don't think it's a case of us against them, just nice to meet the people you spend so much time with, as frustrating as it may be at times. I think you will find us to be a decent bunch of people that are pretty much the same in person as we are online. I don't find us to be cliquey as much as a group of people that met on this forum, tried to have some lunches and drinks together, and realized we really do enjoy each others company. Justintime, sorry you feel like people think you're a bad person, I think that may be self inflicted. JMHO. Thanks so much Bessie, I did stick my head into the Hong Kong Palace today and then I realized I don't know who to look for. Thanks again chrisb Jul 8, 09 1:02 pm justintime, you really should show up to a Happy Hour... given that last post, it seems you're quite the fan of "whine" (-; lol, it really was a response to the repeated "if you'd only join us then we wouldn't bash you" theme, in conjunction with the never ending "give your real name" saga. There is, at times, a cavalier attitude toward anyone who disagrees and so I stand by my comment. I suppose my response should have gone in the other thread in which an HL regular made an uncalled for comment about hate, suggesting that others would do well to "reveal" themselves at a HH. justintime Jul 8, 09 2:30 pm "I know Bessie. I don't know why I bother with thes idiots over here. These people have alot to say when they won't show up at a HH." justintime, I think you misinterpret a lot of those posts as "join us and we won't bash you", when in actuality they are more like "if we met you and knew your personality, we wouldn't think that you are constantly being condescending and would better understand where you are coming from". ed - I think from what seein' and others have said it's nothing about a threat. It's that people act differently in person compared to posting behind the veil of the internet. Putting that into the context of a HH or a lunch, etc. really isn't the best way to say it. Thank you GC. That is exactly what I meant by that. But apparently we have a guy with a quick fight trigger. Tisk tisk. Love the cartoon GC, so appropriate and Ian, as usual, you crack me up. You can sum up a whole situation into 2 lines. Bessie Jul 8, 09 8:03 pm yeah and the person is you.. let me requote that I've got to say Ed I've had disagreements with a few people on here since I joined, and you have got to be the most obnoxious person I have ever talked with. I'll spell it out for you. That comment meant, that unlike the calm and collected people on HL2, most here are very aggressive and like to argue. the word idiots seemed to sum it up quite well in my mind. And the point of the second part was, seeing things typed out on a computer screen, the words can seem more harsh and be misinterpreted. However, when you show up to an HLHH you meet the people, get to know their personalities, thus making things that are said make more sense. Like for example, if you knew me or my personality (which you dont) you would know that I was not bashing the Police. I have full respect for the job they do. If you still have further questions as to the meaning of anything I post, lets meet up for a drink one night and get to know each other and go from there. And that's precisely why HL monthly/weekly/daily/hourly happy hours (quoting JIT) are so positive. We meet for a drink, a cupcake, coffee, lunch, or whatever, speak face to face and get to know each other. It's all good. This topic has not been commented on in more than 6 months.
