It’s hard to imagine a person that would see someone fall off a roof and not stop to assist. I guess there are lots of self-centered people out there.

I know. Horrible.

Wonder if the R/P who saw the fall checked his Karma lately??

Hey man, at least he called 911, right? I mean, people are too busy these days to be worried about the welfare of others, you know?

I think the R/P with the 60 cats and the R/P with the piles of dead fish … they should meet.

I guess this gives “Crazy cat lady (or man, in this case)” a whole new meaning….

It’s too bad we don’t have a local newspaper that would follow up on some of these ‘Scanner reports’.
They sound more interesting than the articles the SR runs.
