Cyclist doored, struck has fractured skull and 23 broken ribs but is OK; hit-and-run driver still at large - The Chainlink2024-03-29T05:30:32Zhttps://thechainlink.org/forum/topics/cyclist-doored-struck-has-fractured-skull-and-23-broken-ribs-but?feed=yes&xn_auth=noI really did not intend to of…tag:thechainlink.org,2013-03-12:2211490:Comment:6560842013-03-12T20:16:24.593ZDavid Barishhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/DavidBarish
<p>I really did not intend to offend. Whether Dustin and Mike are successful with any claim in the future is frankly none of our business. That is up to them. However, it is certainly a possibility. If we care about Dustin we should not do anything that would harm his position or be disadvantageous for him. Or, to put it another way, we can simply respect his privacy when it comes to public discussions of his health.</p>

<p>I suspect the possibility of reducing a horrible injury to monetary compensation may have had some impact in raising your bile. I understand. However, that is a reality and is frankly a much more humane "pound of flesh" when seeking to redress the actions of another. Money is crass but will do more for an injured person than watching somebody rot in jail. What we cannot do is roll back the clock and make this event have never happened. I wish we could.<br/> <br/> <cite>Apie 10.64 said:</cite></p>

<p>I am thrilled to hear good news about Dustin. I don't mean to be a buzz kill in that regard, but think we may want to refrain from discussing his recovery on a public forum such as this. I am not related to Dustin in any way. However, I am a lawyer and cannot help but think from that perspective. I think we may want to leave it for Dustin or his attorney to publicly comment on his state of being. Forums like this are a treasure trove for defense lawyers and investigators to find things…</p>

I think we may want to leave it for Dustin or his attorney to publicly comment on his state of being. Forums like this are a treasure trove for defense lawyers and investigators to find things that they can take out of context. We should continue to wish him well and hunt for the mystery vehicle.

<p>That's a lot of personal information that just became public. Reminds me to drive safer before Casa Primo becomes a national landmark!</p>

<p>I noticed the witness is Mark Vanecko. Perhaps he's Mark Vanecko, the brother of Richard Vanecko who seems to have killed a suburban man while partying, and the brother of Robert Vanecko who seems to have invested City money in a really bad real estate deal.</p>
