Because I didnt know it was a fatality (news was just saying bike crash on my road).and I had 100+ people on my local motorcycle Facebook page begging for info to see if it was someone they knew. It was right down my road. I didnt want to wait till the 10 news for a report. Thanks though, guess I just fucking love seeing death.

It's still messed up. First rule of an accident scene is if you aren't involved and can't offer assistance, clear the area and let the professionals handle the scene. The authorities should contact the family, not you using facebook.

There is nothing more aggravating than looky lous at accident scenes. Someone got hurt or killed, it's not something to gawk at.

I was no where near the accident scene. I was across the street in a gas station parking lot. If an accident happens in fron of your house and it my be your friend or neighbor, you wouldn't step outside to see who or what happened? And at the time I heard about I didn't even know police where on the scene. I just heard from a friend, motorcycle down near me. Don't make it out like I love seeing death Trip. It was hard enough yesterday. I don't need to be told how discusting I am today.

Were the accidents local?

Is there anything you won't chime in on just to one up? This has to be one of the dumber ones I've read, even for you.
