Good writing there, Miss Hui.

no one deserves to die the way he did

There sure are people who deserve to die that way: terrorists, rapists, child molesters, rioters, gang bangers, etc.

So does that mean someone can’t be killed twice or made more dead?

Not the first time I’ve heard a homeless person sleeping in a dumpster and getting compacted in a dump truck. Won’t be the last, I’m sure.

Live in a dumpster, go out with the trash. It’s simple, and acting like this is a huge tragedy is indicative of how screwy our society is. These people are human raccoons. If they hadn’t found the body, nobody would have ever known, I’d bet cash money on it.

Ah, there is if you are Irish. You see, in the vernacular, if you get fatally hit by a passing truck, you are just 'killed'. But if, on the other hand, you are drowned, then you are 'killed entirely'.

A Scot might say he was kilt.

I think she was implying he was alive when he went in…and not thrown away dead.

Maybe some of those folks. For the rest, it is not painful enough and way too quick.

I think you have to be alive in order to be crushed to death, unless you have Covid.

Yeah, you didn't need to write he "was alive". The fact that he "was crushed to death" means that obviously, he was alive before that.

He didn’t deserve to die that way...

Has nothing to do with deserves but, about choices, this guy choose the more dangerous option

quote:

That’s just sad, we've got to do better than that...

Who's WE? Again, choices; this guy didn't end up in such a situation because of a solitary bad decision.

quote:

“Yes, they should be checking because anyone can be in there, it can be a woman, a man, a teenager that’s running from home and they could get killed and there could be another devastation. A parent lost a child," Keller said.

Lots of compassion but, coming up short in reason and logic.

"A parent lost a child"
It looks like they lost him a long time ago.

True, but these days it is all about the feels, thoughts are irrelevant.

And as much as I’d like to say it is a leftist disease, some credit certainly goes to social media / Lame Stream Media / Internet culture. As in many other situations, it is all about the Benjamins, and it those in media/Internet, you get Benjamins for eyeballs/clicks, and in that area, the favorite way to generate them seems to be by generating outrage. That seems to be the case whether the source is on the right or on the left.
