    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Darwin in action. He "didn't hear it?"

      He could have avoided that by running about 2 feet to his right.

      And how is it that the steamroller driver didn't see him?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          1. The article mentions that is a new “low noise” model. In other words, people have been bitching at the noise construction vehicles make, so quieter models are being designed despite the safety issues that can pose.

          2. this is all in the steamroller driver. They were driving way too fast, as well.

            "The machine was a modern, low noise vehicle, authorities said."

            Wait till the roads are full of quiet electric cars. This will become commonplace.

            We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
            Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

              Yeah, but they've got those scraper blades to clean off the wheels as it rolls, so at least he didn't stick to the wheels.....

                How many Brazilians does it take to pave a highway...

                Depends on how thin you mash them.....

                Ax says "how much is a brazillian?..... and did they pay their fair share in taxes?"
