If true he was out all night and I hate conspiracy theories, did he have a hangover that impaired his judgement? But one would think if he went to the gym he wouldn't have been hungover. For all I know he might not even drink.
All I know is I've been drunk, stoned, coked up, on LSD and X and often a few of those together at once and my judgement was never to point I thought it would be good to run across a major freeway.
We just have a different perspective on this situation. I just see it as a tragedy that a 24 year old man lost his life. Period. I don’t need to guess about the whys and how’s.
I'm 62 and have experimented with a lot of stuff when I was his age or younger. But I can tell you that if you are in that state you cannot compare what you did with what he may have done. Being impaired is different for everyone. I'm not in no way saying he was impaired, hungover, drunk, high, or anything. Hell, he may not be that kind of person, so please don't take it that way. Again, I hate speculating that way and probably shouldn't have even suggested the hangover theory. In retrospect it is embarrassing to do so.
I've smoked a little bit of weed and did a tuck and roll out of a moving car. Mental illness can cause a brain to do insane things.
ok, ok, you convinced me that I should have thought these things have different results on people.
Well it's not a murder investigation, so it's not a "priority". We don't know the amount of accidents in the area, their crime statistics, the resources they have to spend on the investigation, etc. It's possible that if it weren't for Haskins being a "name" the investigation could take longer. I would be interested in knowing the average amount of time it takes for these investigations.
The strangest thing was I was a /heavy/ smoker at the time and it hardly effected the person I was with. I do very clearly recall afterwards walking around with a completely shattered collarbone just shaking it out like "yup that's broken, I'm a ####in moron".
And you actually reminded that one time a mentally handicapped adult I worked with once accidentally ejected himself from my moving car while on the highway. One of those had to be their to see it things but to this day one of both the scariest and funniest things I've ever seen(once I knew he was ok)
On the news this morning they played a 911 call from Haskins wife. She said her husband had run out of gas, and he was talking to her as he was walking on the highway. He was supposed to call her back when he found some gas, and she was worried because she hadn't heard from him. They also played a 911 call from a hysterical woman who said a man just got hit by a dumptruck. Anyway, here is an article on his wife calling 911.
Just all seems a little suspect.
One guy reported that story as far as I can tell and no one has corroborated it and your rational in your post is just in bad taste IMO.
Not meaning it in bad taste, just thinking about it logically.
All it sometimes take is one wrong decision. It could happen to anyone in a blink of an eye. Life is fragile and not guaranteed.
My only sympathy is for the truck driver who has to live with it and for the members of his family who actually cared enough to be concerned for this fool.
Alcohol and drugs contribute to bad decision making and subsequent death. Yes, many get away with it, but all it takes is one time. Hell, people with no drugs and alcohol in them also make bad decisions that result in death, but not as often.
I know the stretch of highway fairly well in Broward and almost always this 595 or connecting roads and highways are under construction. I could never imagine trying to cross the actual Interstate but Haskins was drunk, we know that from the .20/.24 that was in the reports.
If you knew this stretch of road you would understand why someone would want to call 9-1-1 pretty fast
And Mrs Haskins was familiar with this stretch of road? Seems like an important detail.
I mean there was really no need for the last parts on the dump truck. It was on a highway where you aren't expecting people to be.
JFC that’s awful.
