20 years later still crying? Hahaha.

Sounds like a fake made up person, no one is that torn up over an accident if they did nothing wrong. Few people even cry regularly over a spousal death that long afterwards.

Which is kinda the point. OBVIOUS BS. Everyone who believed it please line up, I have a very unique investment opportunity for you.

be well.
Well, if I knew the story to be true, and my wife to be a person of character, you might be right.

I'm not sure that either situation pertains here, however.

My good wishes to you as well.

Snowdon's a bit too good to be true, yes, but I hope that stock in the Golden Gate Bridge I bought from her holds its value...

Her friend Marcia Deihl was riding a bicycle, like she always did, and was killed by a driver operating a container truck outside of Whole Foods in Cambridge three years ago.

Shane Snowdon then broke silence with her own story a couple of years later.

You can question her account of her story, but not her motive.

I fail to see how it is any less self serving, and why it would OK for him to still be worked up about it 20 years down the road if not for a self promoting reason. I wonder how much he makes of his sessions?

So … sometimes people are in accidents and are actually Blameless. And even so, other people will try to blame them because of their own emotions short-circuiting their logic.
Yep, that is exactly what happened when I got rearended on the highway. I was stopped for stopped traffic ahead of me, she piled into me, and first thing she did while I was checking on the lady in front of me she pushed me into was to get out of her car and yell something along the lines of "Why the hell are you stopped? This is a freeway you ain't supposed to stop on the freeway". Mind you, that was the lady at fault, but her passengers were also trying to convince the cop she was blameless because cars shouldn't be stopped on the freeway.

I question both, but what happened to Deihl was tragic, and I'd be just as disturbed if her killer tried to capitalize on that act by talking about themselves as the real victim.

You know, I've said this to you before but I'll say it again, you try to sound so clever with your cryptic messages but it's having the opposite effect, and more often than not it contributes nothing to the discussion. So much so, in fact, @AlexanderLS put you on ignore. Maybe that's your thing. Whatever, dude

Duh; if you'd been bicycling on the shoulder, your car wouldn't have even been there to get hit.
