Too bad he didn't have a gun. He could have maybe shot his way out of that minivan which was pinching him in.
 
Wow - for those of us who know that this kid's death had nothing to do with libertarians, tax cuts, or guns... how tragic. I feel for his family and can't imagine what he was going through as he pleaded for help.

Congratulations on turning a tragedy into a partisan talking point. You may wish to wash your shoes... The tykes blood seeped in where you were standing on the corpse.

Oh, the the Libertarian slam? You may wish to look at the nanny state mentality that ASSumes the government will fix everything.
 
MAGA!

Libertarians wet dreams come true.

But, hey. Ya'll got yer tacks cutz. Amirite?

Plush suffocated after he became trapped under the third-row seat that flipped and pinned him while he was trying to reach his tennis equipment. The teenager told 911 operators where he was located but authorities were not able to find him. Police said Amber Smith, the 911 operator who answered Plush’s second call, failed to relay information to the additional officers who were at the scene.

Tax cuts have **** all to do with it.
 
Yeah, not cool, Calamity...I cried when I heard this poor kid's pleas for help...what a horrible way for anyone to die, especially one so young...
 
I'm curious; how does a van seat crush a person?

He was leaning over the back seat, reaching for something in the cargo section and it flipped with him, pinning him upside down against the back door...
 
Wtf?

?




Kid dies ---> Trump reference?

What?
 
MAGA!

So, this teen dying is Trump's fault? Man, you guys just can't handle this Syria thing at all. Your TDS is in it's final stages. Your posting has reached a new low.
 
What I wonder is why the seat flipped...if it was faulty, there may be a lawsuit pending...

The **** they don't.

"Cincinnati.com reported the 911 center has had problems regarding staffing, training and technology. The city’s 911 center has had five directors in the past four years and its budget was cut $400,000 since 2016. Records showed the center needed 17 dispatchers and 15 operators, the paper reported."
 
I figured you at least had a little more imagination than that.

You know I utterly despise Trump, but come on...

The kid died a preventable, slow, and truly horrific death - crushed to death slowly being a very long physical and mental medieval torture - and it's haha Trump supporters haha Libertarians?




There is such a thing as going too far.

The point of the OP was to show the encroachment of the dystopian libertarian nightmare. I hope you are bright enough to see the connection between this boy's death and the failure of the underfunded 911 system which failed to get him help on time. Right?
 
The fault lies with the idiot...I mean incompetent dispatcher...SMH...
 
I fully support extremely late term abortion...how old are you again?

You'd have an argument if budget cuts in the locality had meant that they couldn't replace an ambulance, therefore their respond time was down, therefore someone who probably would've lived died. Or for example, the lady who died in the ambulance stuck in traffic on the NY-NJ bridge after Christie's cronies shut down a lane? Wasn't intentional but sure there's a link to responsibility.

The operator claims computer malfunction, yes, but I don't think that is out yet. Further, given how procurement generally works (slowly, crappily, expensively), it's unlikely that whatever malfunctioned was even purchased under Trump. Also, note the deficit and projected deficits, even in states too. Libertarians aren't getting very much say.

I see that they slashed the budget in 2016, but there's no clear link to this specific 911 operator. It's not that he couldn't reach them or they didn't have resources to send. It was either a computer glitch or incompetence. The article doesn't mention needing more computers. More operators and dispatchers are needed.


But still.....

It sounds like an accident combined with human error, I somehow doubt more medical staff could cure human error on the dispatchers part, nor how trump libertarians aliens the russians cubans klingons etc could be responsible. It sounds like the van manufacturor should investigate and maybe issue a voluntary recall if reason was found it was dangerous y design rather than a 1 in a million freak accident, but trying to play the blame game is indeed very low especially when no politics were ever at play here.

Serious question. You do not see a connection between the lack of funding for 911 and them having an incompetent dispatcher?

It's right there in the op:

"Cincinnati.com reported the 911 center has had problems regarding staffing, training and technology. The city’s 911 center has had five directors in the past four years and its budget was cut $400,000 since 2016.

I find this post incredibly disgusting and in poor taste-I attended that school at one point and have had family members on the board. The 911 operator screwed up. Trying to use the death of this outstanding young student for more of your trolling is pathetic.

Ugh, what an awful way to die and so young. Poor guy. :(
