I'm not going to chicken out, I'm just gonna be a reck, until its over...Originally Posted by Laura's Babies
Heck no, thats why I always do my part as a good citizen!! It was 2 winters ago when I lived in Ottawa with my ex. We ever so gently pulled over a BAD driver.. he was very old & it was time his car was taken away from him... We had 4+ OPP cars finally track us down.. All of the officers (there was about 6+ in total) came up to our car & thanked us. We asked them to be nice to the old man, we're 100% positive its an age thing. We made darn sure the officers were going to arrange a safe ride for them to get home, other wise we would pay for their cab to insure their safety & other drivers.
Back in 2001 or 2002 a lady didn't stop & drove right into a large truck (I think it was a dump truck).. My ex did everything he could to try to help, but all he could do was hold her limp body. He called me all screwed up over it & I had to talk to him through his whole work shift as it bothered him, esp being covered in her blood... When he got home I stirpped him & spent a long time cleaning off the blood on his clothing.
2-3 summers ago We witnessed a car do everything in its powers to break for a deer... they hit it & pulled over... We stopped right behind the deer, so a car wouldn't accidently hit it & loose control... We stood & watched the deer squirm & bleed all over the place. We were all nearly in tears & prayed it would die faster... My ex & the husband dragged the poor thing off the road... We then helped the husband look over his car for damage, reinsurred them both that we saw them slow for the herd, & then the little one came out of no where & they had no option but to hit it.. We conforted them, let them relax a little & then sent them on their way...
Sure the law might not have been involved, but talking to someone & keeping them calm when disstraught really helps them, esp when they are driving.
I could never live with someones blood on my hands that I could have prevented. I stood infront of a loaded pistol last year trying to get my ex to snap back into reality... He kept it pointing at my face while yelling at me to move. I didn't know these people & I put their lives first... I cound never live with myself if I didn't try to stop or prevent something horrible from happening.
In 2001 I ran up to a burning house pounding on the doors with everything I had cause I knew the couple were in there.
3 halloweens ago I took charge when our store was being robbed with a guy with a knife.. I made sure all the customers & employees were safe.
I've always tried to do my part, I'm no chicken.
