You people need help!! And they call the ones in the van handicapped! I bet if a kitten or dog was on the van no jokes would be made, you idiots make me sick! Just think how scared they are and no family around to love them! Hope you are all proud of yourselves.

Caution: Show Dogs on Board
I'd like to ask the people that put this on their vehicle if, when the show dogs are not on board, if the sign reads:
Caution: People on board

Babes - how do you know that no family is around to love them? Handicapped people are lovable too.

ladybug1 - I know - I happen to love my son very much, which is why I find none of this funny! I just meant the families were not at the accident and I know how scared they would be.

The poor people were lucky that their were enough firemen in the city to respond.

I feel badly too, Babes, because I'm sure these people were quite frieghtened. I'm confident the emergency personnel on scene were very soothing and comforting. Now don't all you regulars freak out because I said something compassionate !

First of all they are people, second it could be you! We are all handicap maybe not to the point that we need to be housed in group homes, but they could have been killed. People never think about how tragdies could be them, or a loved one of theirs perhaps your children even. Some of you guys don't have anything to do, but say hurtful remarks toward others what a wasteful mind.
