Clearly the black SUV pulled out in front of the white car. I'm not understanding WHY that car driver was issued a citation?! I'd fight that, for sure. The SUV was coming off a stop sign into an already proceeded lane of moving traffic!!!

PermalinkThe kid’s who lost their father are not worried about his age, I’m pretty sure his mother and father who lost their son can care less about SA Live’s ability to perform simple math, and I’m also almost positive that myself and the rest of this you man who lost his life at a very young age’s friend can give two F@#¥%s how old he was. What those people care about is, they’ll never be able to be in his presence for the rest of their lives. What those kids care about is, they’ll have to grow up without their father. Yet you find it necessary to focus on his age. Simple minded people are what’s wrong with the world as we know it. People like you are too busy focused on other people’s flaws, they’re blind to the catastrophe that is themself.
RIP brotha. Until we meet again my man.....
