sad story

http://www.kmtv.com/news/local/132973793.html

 don't know if anyone else saw this on the news last night but what a horrible story for everyone.  a friend's sister saw this happen and said people were in hysterics around there and a ton of kids saw it too.  They didn't know the whole story and had thought that the driver was drunk but the article doesn't make mention...

Re: sad story

  • This is why I hate so much of halloween. People think it's funny to scare the crap out of others. I just really hate that. Have "scary" decorations and fake spiders around, fine, but to fill a place with fog and then rev a chain saw? Umm... that's weird to me. And was the chain saw running? Like, it could've cut someone had they fallen forward? I don't get it. Maybe I just don't know how chain saws work, but that's just dumb to me. I know it's kind of a halloween thing, but I'm not a fan. that's just me.

    The motor of a chainsaw can run without the chain on them... they do it at haunted houses all the time.

  • So, you try to scare the crap out of kids, knowing that cars drive way too fast in the area.  Smart one.

    I tend to agree with you Nancy - I love Halloween, but even I got a bit annoyed last night with some of the ADULTS who go a little overboard.  Our neighborhood was full of little kids, the majority of them probably 2-10ish.  We had some house with a "haunted garage" where they let kids go in an out (uh, no), and they also had a full fledged Michael Myers walking around the driveway, down the sidewalk, etc.  It scared the pisss out of my little lady, and I spent the rest of the night explaining to her that things like that "arent real" because she was freaked out.

    That makes me feel a smidge better, but I'm still not ok with Halloween. I never was and now with Owen and Amelie and seeing them get excited I get excited too, but before I just hated all of the crap that people did to each other. It just makes me uneasy.

    We had a house like that in our neighborhood that did the garage haunted house & as soon as they saw us coming the adults ushered the teenagers that were doing the scaring into the garage.  They thought I was going to have my boys go in & scare them, they wanted me too.  Ummm, my kids are 3 and 5, I don't want them to have nightmares for weeks, no thanks!
