Florida man is dead

Mattress flies from back of truck, killing Florida man

http://www.nbc-2.com/story/28528442/mattress-flies-from-back-of-truck-killing-florida-man

OVIEDO, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida man is dead after the mattress he was riding on in the back of a pickup truck sent airborne and dumped him on the road.

The Florida Highway Patrol says the accident happened Sunday afternoon as the truck traveled down a Seminole County road.

Sgt. Kim Montes says the unsecured mattress was on top of some debris the truck was carrying. It flew from the vehicle, carrying 51-year-old Paul Ginther Jr. with it. The truck was driven by 48-year-old Kenneth Connell.

DUmmies are just full of sympathy for a worker that dies while working, as opposed to dying while sitting on their ass...

29. So you think his death is funny? I don't get the darwin comments on a democratic site. nt


Just remember that DU is the home of DUmmies and other assorted moonbats (including you) and you will understand perfectly...

30. And many people in this thread thinks it is funny. Sick IMO. nt

You are on DU - what would you expect from a bunch of DUmmies?

The truly ironic part and the primary reason I brought this over. Apparently grave dancing is not ok and undermines what DU is all about. Who knew?  :rotf:

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This whole thread is gravedancing over the unfortunate, last deadly mistake of a nobody. DU is a popular website that shows up prominently in google searches, and it isn't out of the realm of possibility that his friends and loved ones might see this thread full of strangers laughing at him. It's in extremely bad taste and undermines what DU is about.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Mar 20, 2015, 02:35 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is Weird Newish but not hide-worthy.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Idiotic but tragic incident. But idiotic objection, also.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is called General Discussion. It's also a news story.


Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Welcome to the Internet. Is it your first day here?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Uh, seriously? Having a humorless day, alerter?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, are you serious! You are kidding, right? Please tell me you just wanted to waste people's time...please....
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh good gawd! Relax! This a message board not a freaking church! Gimme a break! From the mouth of babes sometimes comes truth...

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

No grave-dancing on DU? Yeah, well, wait until G. H. W. Bush dies. Or Benedict XVI. Then there's the thread(s) from some 2 years ago when Margaret Thatcher died ... no grave-dancing there? I doubt it.

If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

It is OK on DU from what I can see.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
