Maybe they shouldn't have passed the truck on the left right before the truck turned left?

Darwin moment. No sympathy from me.

This is a real tragedy both for Bruce's family and the rider community as a whole.

His nationwide network of dealerships was known to be run pretty well...I dunno if he had a contingency plan in place for this type of thing...but let's hope that he did.

A comment on Eight People Sent to the Georgia Hospital after Accident involving Motorcycles

The majority of accidents occurring in the Atlanta area during the Roundup Bike Fest were caused by irresponsible, careless, idiotic motorists following to close to the cyclists.

However, in one instance I believe it was a case of rage, evilness, malice, jealousy and drunkeness when that 18 year old rear-ended, mowed down the cyclist and his passenger on Riverdale Rd. I hope he gets "the book" thrown at him and spends years in the pen.

I would like to attend his trial, and if the judge says if there is anyone here who would like to say something, I will raise my hand and say: "Yes Judge. May I say anything?" Judge responds with: "No profanity!"

"Oh thank you, Your Honor." Then, I would turn to that cowardly menace and say: "YOU DOG!"

A comment on Studies Show Non-Profit Nursing Homes Provide Better Quality Care

Yes, because for profit nursing homes such as giant Sun Healthcare are only concerned about profits for their shareholders. They make it their policy to understaff and not replace broken equipment. As a result my mother died due to their blatant disregard for human life. She lived in a Newport Beach facility operated by SUN, where their own Medical Director wrote in 2006 SUN killed her: Dr Scott Stoney, Newport Beach, California wrote

"There are several incidences of concern in this patients' case which should be noticed. The frequency of her recurrent pneumonia is concerning as well as the type of pneumonia which she developed were concerning. The infection incidence at Sunbridge Newport was monitored quarterly and it was noted over the national average during infection control meeting in the final quarter of the year 2003. As I was medical director for this facility I had request further evaluation by the staff to the etiology of this occurrence within the facility. Multiple families had complained about this problem. Unfortunately, the administration did not take due diligence in ameliorating this problem in 2003. Lack of sufficient ventilation contributes to pneumonia. This was a sentinel event; however the administration continued to give both patients families and the undersigned a variety of excuses why it was "taking some time" to fix this problem. Upon review of the medical record, it is medically probably that this patients recurrent pneumonia (especially MRSA) was related to the physical facility.
There is another incidence of concern. Blood pressure monitoring cuffs which were not working in Sunbridge Newport in 2003. This, again, was a sentinel event and of grave concern. As medical director, this was an extraordinary event which prompted my immediate reaction as Medical Director to request the administration immediately order new blood pressure equipment for the safety of the patients within the facility. I was subsequently directly in contact from my Newport Beach private practice office with Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse Special Agent Supervisor Joseph Fendrick to discuss this matter. Unfortunately this was too late for Mrs. Evelyn Calvert, she arrived 7/16/04 to the emergency room in again respiratory distress and she died. Due to the limited response of the administration to meet patient needs, I resigned from Sunbridge Newport Rehabilitation in March, 2004 and gave sixty day notice of my termination as Medical Director from the facility. It is my opinion, as a Board Certified physician ..... that this patients death is within medical probability aggravated or in causation by the failure of the ventilator system within Sunbridge Newport as well as the failure of the blood pressure monitoring devices within the facility."

This isn't rocket science, Buzz would say.
