Default Re: To all Gawkers, Rubber Neckers and people who do not follow instructions

Oh, HB, I'm so sorry. Even if we're not directly involved in something like this, just hearing others who were involved makes it a little more real and painful. I'm sorry that a man died and that strangers made it more difficult for him to get the help he needed.

Gawkers really frustrate me. I can think of several times when I used to commute to SF that additional accidents were caused by the lookie-loos. I understand human nature makes it hard to not look, but there's really no excuse for staring. People should slow down even if going the opposite direction -- you don't know what debris might be in the road -- but slow down doesn't mean stop or even almost stop.
