What did the rebar do?
you are supposed to have rubber caps on the end of any rebar sticking out of concrete.

What did the rebar do? Make a Indian fall from the back of a truck?
Even if the guy was an Indian.... the rebar should've had a cap on it or bent so there's less of a chance for something like this to happen....

Humans no longer have any responsibilities. It's always something else's fault. Bad rebar.

still dumb not to cap the rebar
Caps around pedestrians never last. That's just poor planning on the City's part. No excuse.

There is a meat on a stick joke in there somewhere.

And a slam dunk liability case.
Capping rebar is standard in just about every application and set of rules.

This is where i take a page from Louis C.K. If you fall from the bed of ur truck in a way that you completely fall off the bridge your truck was parked on and then are impaled by rebar....then MAYBE it was your time to die.

2017 the year Mardi Gras fought back.
Thoughts to those who lost their lives but Mobile AL had its largest crowds in years and had zero major arrests. 2017 Mardi Gras was amazing.

They were all sticking out of concrete with orange mesh fence attached from one to the other.

The truck was under the I110 overpass that goes over Howard Ave., notorious spot where drunk and rowdy dipshit out-of-towners like to hang out on the parade route. Awful what happened.

He fell out of the truck bed onto the rebar, it says they were under the overpass
