I been reading that she didn't die, and that was mistakingly reported, gosh I hope that is true.

Husted told us the troopers showed up with a forensics lab truck. They put a lemon shake up cup in an evidence bag and sealed it. The cup was near the car. Husted said if there's Jack Daniel's residue in the cup there will be an investigation 10 times bigger than the one they got now. I hope Roy is ok in all this.

Wdym? Guy loses his daughter to a horrific accident and you're commenting on how many yearlings he's going to be able to buy because of it!

Pretty Lame if you ask me!

I apologize but I would never want to see a child or anyone for that matter die. You’re right. I just wasn’t thinking. Prayers to the family and I am now reading better news on this thread that maybe the little girl did not die. Con any of the ploppers confirm if the little girl is okay or not?

The Starter and his driver were required to blow the box prior to getting in the car at a few places I've been. It's been a minute since I've heard if they still do or not. For a trooper to bag a cup, it had to smell like alcohol or had seeds and stems residew.

I hope Tim Carey is 1 of the named defendants. Doesn't Hawthorne oversee the fairs? Or, is it just Springfield and Duquesne? Or neither/none these days?
Bob Carey would be heartbroken knowing his nephew was such a screw-up.
To the Finn family my deepest sympathy.

I believe the fairs are under the Dept of Ag. Such a sad story may she RIP. One of those things that should never happen.

Ira tried to donate $3 using his Montgomery Wards credit card but it was rejected. Bobby can't afford to make a donation at this time. All his cash is tied up in Busch Light, CBD oil, and fentanyl...but that 1 is just for special occasions. If John Bernard sez it's ok maybe they can mooch his PayPal?

Here's a unique idea.

Why don't we all agree:
a) that this was a terrible tragedy.
b) to suspend the second guessing and constant bickering in this thread.
c) to send some money to help the Finn family?

Just a thought.
