Just glad they found him alive. Hard to believe in this day and age he didn't have a cell phone though.

Happy that everything worked out for the guy.....sad to say I have seen many times where a person is on the side of the road in trouble and the police just cruise on by...wonderexactly what there real job description is.....apparently not protect and serve...eh. I also can't imagine not having a cell phone.

Everytime I hear about something like that, it reminds me of this short film.

Watch it to the end.

Writing tickets is more profitable, actually helping people isn't.

I haven't seen this posted yet.
A motorcyclist was found two days after going off of Hwy12 ( I heard one report that he hit a rock ) in California. The wind positively howls across the road and it can be a pretty intense ride, especially when a big rig goes by in the opposit direction. He had two broken legs and couldn't get back to the road.
Now the thing that pisses me off is supposedly CHPsays theysearched by air and by ground and said they couldn't find him or his motorcycle, yet the man's family cartered a chopper and found him in thirty minutes ( when I first got pissed, the report said it was tenminutes ).
I hate to be unfair to law enforcement, but how many tickets did they manage to write while this guy was laying on the side of the road with two broken legs ?
I know it's unfair to be critical, but it was just awhile ago something like this with a car happened in Oregon. A They found a missing couple's car about ten feet from the road a couple of months after they'd been reported missing. A caller called 911 and reported the car going off and told them where.
DO they actually even look ? What would we prefer they do, rescue people and be heroes, or write tickets ?
Man this sounds harsh, I know. For some reason this really pisses me off.
