Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Eddie

I don't know if this thing with Eddie is over or not because i was there and
saw most of all.  I know it took at least 30 minutes to roll the truck off
him.  I tried as soon as i saw the senerio and could not convince anyone to
help me. The first Policeman on the scene was a County Deputy who
idenitified Eddie as ..."An Habitual Offender who smelled of alcohol."
Another Guy who showed up in jogging shorts and a small PU Truck who i asked
if he was a Medic said NO and showed up later in a State Police Car.  I left
and Eddie was still on the stretcher amongst a massive traffic jam on a
mountain road because to be honest i didn't care about my ice cream and they
were in NO HURRY to move him even tho he said ..."i can't breathe..."  He
was not a subspecies...he was a human being and as i told Maryann if it was
some one in my family i would have taken the matter into my own hands and
not let these professionals who were more concerned about 'Gloves' and past
stories allow someone to die.  And i Personally await the flames from the
professionals on this list to flame me.....because i am obiouvsly affected
by Eddie.  tom sites
