What about the grandmothr. This story is incomplete and has more questions than facts. Come on now. You guys are so much better than this.

Concerned October 8, 2012 at 04:12 pm

So is the guy dead? And wonder why he jumped out of the vehicle. Could he have have a mental illness of some sort?

Concerned... I believe "fatally injured" means he's dead.

"Come on now." Now that you have staff workers from the "Patch," frantically looking for this unfortunate man's grandmother, maybe you should reconsider your "sharpshooting" abilities. There's no mention of any "grandmother" within this article. I'm sure you misread this story, as I believe you actually meant "mother."
The reason for my response is due to your second, 3rd, and fourth sentences of your comment which placed blame on people undeservedly.

I am concerned about Patch readers' poor reading comprehension! If it were't so frightening, I would laugh!
I am also concerned about many readers' inability to express themselves in writing! I've never seen such poor spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Okay, I admit it - I'm a retired teacher! But really, readers, can't you do better???

Hey Ms Hiestand, are you directing your comments to anyone in particular, or just everyone that has contributed, and/or left a comment to this story?
I could not help but notice that you seem to have misspelled "weren't," You have it spelled "were't. Maybe you are correct, but I have never seen it any other way, than the way I spelled it. Also it does not seem as if you are placing two spaces between sentences. It could be my eyes, or maybe thes nuns were correct.

Correction: Last sentence of comment, eight word from the beginning of sentence, "thes" should read "the."

And one (") as well.

Laurel,
It's easy to make typos on the keyboard, esp. without that typing class my mother made me take in HS. I even make typos when tired or rushing :) But, most younger Americans do not have the literacy skills we learned "back in the day" and text lingo has infiltrated. In fact, text lingo shows up in the academic papers I grade regardless of my "preaching." On to this tragedy: This is a horrible event and I can only imagine the guilt and heartbreak the driver who struck him must be feeling. My intuition tells me the fellow was committing suicide. This sort of thing happens on TV and sadly, people get ideas from there. For whatever reason, this is horribly sad for all involved.

Touche. I would have placed the accent aigu on the "e" but I don't think my i phone has that feature. I concede that typos are easy to make on this tiny keyboard. I do always try to leave two spaces between sentences. I wish you had commented on my statement about poor reading comprehension, but I thank you for taking the time to point out my typographical errors.

Accents are accessed on an iPhone by pressing the letter you wish to have accented. You hold it down (it must be a letter that can be accented) and choices will pop up. You then slde your finger to the one you want.

Laurel Hiestand October 14, 2012 at 04:52 am

Just tried it. Thank you smkmstrJ!
To Sgt.JackWagon: What "nuns" were you referring to in the comment you directed to me on October 12?

SgtJackWagon October 15, 2012 at 03:17 pm

I was referring to the Immaculate Conception Nuns that taught me as I was growing up, as I was enrolled in parochial school. My comment on two spaces between sentences, was taught to me by the nuns, and I was also saying maybe I can't see the two spaces......with my eyes.

The properties are expensive established http://www.coachoutletstoreps.com/Coach Outlet Store Online estates run between $1m and $8m, while undeveloped land costs from $3,000 to $5,000 per hectare, http://www.coachoutletonlinebd.com/Coach Outlet Online according to Luis Bonsegnor, president of Buenos Aires-based Christie's affiliate ReMind Group, which is http://www.coachoutletyo.com/Coach Outlet offering the 2,500-hectare estate Lago Bueno for $13m.Most of the buyers come from Europe and the US, says Bonsegnor, who http://www.guccibeltsmb.net/Gucci Belt adds that his firm makes two to four lodge sales each year.The properties always include their own water sources and are close to http://www.coachoutletonlinexc.net/Coach Factory Outlet an airport.At the opposite extreme is Portugal, whose upper-end real estate market has proved buoyant http://www.coachoutletstoreze.com/Coach Factory Outlet despite price decreases of between 4.5 and 15 per cent in nearby Paris and Rome, according to Knight Frank's http://www.guccibeltsoutletds.net/Gucci Belts early November Global Cities Guide. Local agents say Portugal's resiliency amid three years of economic contraction http://www.coachfactoryonlinefn.net/Coach Factory Outlet is a result of timing, smart planning, and good luck.

Hey Quanyecha, take your degrading, no respect, trash peddling a__, somewhere else. We are talking about a man dying and you have the audacity to post a trailer trash Internet add so you can sell some purses? You've got some issues my friend, and you definitely need to make amove to deal with them.
