A Couple Of Days Ago I Commented About American Ticket Wardens,

giving out tickets to a car for 14 days with the driver still inside - but dead! well it appears there must be something in the water out there, whilst reading the Channel 7 Denver News I saw this, DENVER -- A good Samaritan who pushed three people out of the path of a pickup before he was struck and injured has been ticketed for jaywalking. Family members say 58-year-old Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night. Moffett suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He remained hospitalized Wednesday in serious but stable condition. The Colorado State Patrol issued the citation. Trooper Ryan Sullivan told the Rocky Mountain News that despite Moffett's intentions, jaywalking caused the accident. The other good Samaritan was also cited for jaywalking. The pickup driver was cited with careless driving causing injury. State Trooper Ryan Sullivan says the two elderly women haven't been cited but the investigation is ongoing. now lets get this straight, Jim and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm, he pushes the 3 of them out of the way and he gets a ticket for jaywalking? it has got to be some thing in the water!
