   Dallas police Lt. Scott Bratcher said the accident remains under investigation. But he said it probably will be ruled Mr. Loncar’s fault because he “failed to yield right of way to an emergency vehicle.”

   My prediction is, Lt. Bratcher gets sued by Mr. Loncar for making that statement.

   One important point was left out of the story: Had the driver of the fire truck, or any of his/her relatives or close associates? ever come out short in dealing with Mr. Loncar? Did any eyewitnesses report a sound resembling “buuuuuuuuuuwahahahaha!” emanating from the fire truck at the time?

   Loncar’s Bentley was well known and highly recognizable, especially among fire, police, delivery service, &c. personnel.

   I was going to say ‘Some good news for a change’, but then I realized I’d have to denounce myself, so I didn’t say it.

   I guess my takeaway here is that I’m not at all displeased that this person got hurt, being that some number of people are going to be hurt in emergency vehicle collision in any given year anyway. I’d bet he at least finds a way to sue Bentley. I have a lot of faith in him.

   “Mr. Loncar, 47, was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital.”

   - Wonder if the medivac guys found a single pristine blueberry under his gurney.

   - He should have known better than to drive on Lemmon ave.

   N O’Brain, I will be happy to denounce you.

   Myself as well, of course, not to mention happyfeet. In fact, consider this a blanket denunciation of the post and all responses.

   I also denounce Lemmon Avenue, including its traffic signals, curbs, and striping.

   Regards,
   Ric

   Hey now. I was very very happy about Jamie Lynn’s healthy little baby girl so I have denunciation credits. Just right there marks a significant victory over apathy I think.

    Could I get sued for denouncing personal injury lawyers?

    I think I met an ethical personal injury attorney at a mediation last week. I swear. No lie.

    JD – And were Santa and the Easter Bunny also present? I’d would sooner believe in a radical mullah with a sense of humor.

    I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.

    Schadenfreude and karma aren’t mutaully exclusive, are they?

    Is it a conflict of interest to chase your own ambulance?
