Your comment was off target as myrridin inserted the word 'witness' in a place not included in the article to mislead readers to a wrong conclusion. Too bad you failed to understand that point, and that the woman was not an eyewitness to the actual collision. So in the context of my post, the use of "witness" was NOT too rigid/narrow. Are you implying the woman saw Wiggins with a cell phone in his hand when he was hit? If not, then you should shut up about the subject.

Same point to you, you flat out implied the woman saw Wiggins with a cell phone in his hand when he was hit. She did not see the collision, so you should shut up about the subject.

No. I don't think so. Do you?

Usually, I'm just embarrassed about my fellow countrymen in person when out of the country. Now, thanks to "Jonah, USA" I can be embarrassed about a fellow citizen in print outside the country, too.

Cheers, Jonah!
Not too long ago there was this news item in the USA about the driver the passed the school bus over the side walk. Not only did the articles say it was a woman but we could also see her picture, name and images of her house.

I'm guessing the 'lucky' sideburns make a comeback.

Heal well, Bradley.

You truly are getting pathetic... I did no such thing, and further it was obvious to anyone with some grey matter between their ears that the post which got you so riled up was a sarcastic joke.
