Holy shite man, how did his girlfriend react?

How do you think she reacted? I never saw her again. They moved away shortly after.

I just don’t know how I could see that and be okay ever again.

It was not a good time for me.

Guy I worked with missed a curve on his motor bike and ran head first into a pickup. He went through the windshield and ended up in the back seat. It was obviously a closed casket. The saddest part is the he wasn't being a hot dog he was actually very careful. Some of his friends believe that he in moments noticed missed the turn on purpose. 2 months before this he woke up one morning and found his wife dead in bed next to him.

I’ve known two people burned alive, both were sleeping and their houses caught on fire.

One guy flipped a four wheeler and decapitated himself.

One guy I knew hit a deer which went through his window and the antlers impaired him and he died.
I hope I never know you....

seriously ...

My wife's first husband got drunk, beat her half to death, took off on his bike and got hit by a train.

Is it wrong that my first thought was that his train accident was well deserved? I hate a woman beater just as much as a child abuser.

My friend George, a corporate pilot who didn t have a fireplace because he was scared of fire, falling short of the runway at PBI (Palm Beach International) and crashing into the buildings across the highway. Killed in the resulting ball of fire. RIP

uh huh. What was her name? La-a? Oranjello?

I’ll tell a buddy’s story just cause it’s that good.

But, first. If I’m ever carrying my 5 year old’s unattached head, go ahead and shoot me on sight, because there’s nothing good gonna come from anything I do from that point on. Something happening to my kids is a palpable fear that pops into every parent’s head from time to time & it’s unbelievable how paralyzing just the thought of it can be.

Sorry...
Him & a friend, think they were about 15-16, hanging out, all cool. Not sure he knew at the time that the guy’s dad was beating the hell out of him or not. Kid left to go home, “see you tomorrow”. Next morning, buddy wakes up to find out that his buddy went home and murederrd both parents.
Not the crazy part
Friend is now a pharmacist at the state pen. No clue his friend is an inmate. Hasn’t seen him since that day 20-25 years ago. He’s kneeling on the ground, doing something with some prescriptions. Stands up, and is face to face with the “trustee” bringing him the mail. His buddy. He said he said “hey, man what’s up?” Lol. I mean, what else do you say? “How’s your mom n em?” He had to go to his supervision and go through all kinda paper work to let the higher ups know he knew him

Early 90s probably. West Feliciana/St. Francisville. U can google it

Had a friend get murdered in his own home. They broke into the wrong house looking for drugs and cash.

I only vaguely knew him, didn't meet her till years later, but he normally wasn't as bad a guy as that story makes him seem. But he died ten minutes later so he never had any opportunity for atonement. Think about the worst thing you've ever done in your life and imagine dying ten minutes later. Twenty one years later the only thing anyone remembers about the guy is the image of his seventeen year old wife at his funeral with her arm in a cast, stitches in her lip, and both eyes swollen shut. I guess he deserved it but its hard to imagine a worse way to go.
