My BIl is a an engineer on the railroad. Several times he's had to deal with the psychic damage (not to mention the mess) that has happened when some idiot decided to play chicken, or went around the arm at an intersection, or committed suicide. So, yeah- iSm- if you had gotten your head cut off while breaking and entering an area so clearly marked 'Keep Out'- you wouldn't engender much sympathy from a lot of people. I'd feel terrible since I know you, but if I didn't I'd be thinking you were an idiot, and I'd feel badly for your family and the workers who had to deal with the aftermath.

I feel badly for his friends and loved ones as well as those who have to clean up the mess. But he was a complete idiot for climbing not one, but two six foot fences and ignoring danger and warning signs. If his family sues I hope they lose. If this guy had heeded the visible warnings and deterrents he'd still be alive.

I was kind of cracking up at the fact that the guy hadn't been identified - kinda hard with his head gone and all.

I mentioned it to the hubbo. He nodded and said, "They'll be pulling dental records."

Wasn't he with friends?

That made me go back and read the OP's link. He was with family. I have no idea why he'd be unidentified, then.

"That's not my son, my son had a head!"

Maybe the official identification?

Because he was under 18?

Yeah, I yell at the dumba$$ people who run in front of my car {illegally, unexpectedly, not that I am speeding, etc., they are cocky pedestrians} because damnit, I do NOT want to see what happens to them and I don't to be a part of it.

Where my husband works people have jumped. It isn't pretty and there are people who work there who've been in Vietnam who just can't do it because of the flashbacks.

I told my son, 14, what happened and he couldn't believe the kid would be that stupid. {MouseWife is right now praying he continues to feel that way....}

And as a prize, he gets a new hat!

Oh, wait.

He has no head to put it on. But then, he never had on to begin with....
