Can I get a "Hell yes!"?

[Darth Cruel]

Damn! I love a happy ending!

Coming from the Huffington Post, I expected this to be an over-hyped story. But it appears not to be.

I am glad he is Canadian...but I won't say why as I do not want this thread to become political and get shut down.


But it had something to do with the probability of him being sued if this had happened in The U.S.A. And no insurance Company here would back him up, either.

Leave it to Eli to praise Canada, rather than the one man who deserves the actual credit.

Typical eli McDouchery.

Canada saved these children!!! Thank you, Canada!!

I did it on purpose..I was partly kidding. Anyone who knows me, knows I did it as a poke at my American friends. And they know I am kidding. Either way, it's a great story.

Anyway, the guy is great! It really was a great thing he did. Very unselfish thing he did by risking his own life in favour of the children's. He deserves everything positive coming to him.

haha Nice. So true... I'll sue you! Those kids were in the way! It wasn't my fault, I had an important text to read, "Ownzed a bunch of n000bs in Halo, want 2 hook up and play Halo unite bro?"

Seriously, I am glad the guy did. Not many could or would make that decision. And not to make it political, but great people come from everywhere. I recognize that.

Pffft... Americans are just jealous that we Canadians have the CFL.... bigger field... 3 downs. Oh yeah, sure we have 8 teams, and sure we get the NFL left over left overs. And sure at one time there were two teams by the same name (Rough Riders)... and where was I going with this?

Pix aka Elmer Fudd, you know me better than that.. and Flosi, Canada does appreciate your kind words!

Well, in that case... STFU Eli.

On that note, off to see my dad. Have a good weekend guys.

That's awesome!

Had this happened here in California, Krushelnicki would've gone to jail for reckless driving and likely have his ass sued off by Heitzman for intentionally running into his vehicle.

 

[Voorhees27]

I actually know the driver but not at all.

Canada! **** yeah!!!!

Stfu Eli!

Why doesn't Canada get credit for the moron driving 80 in a 30 while texting?

He was found out to be an American and his name is Michael B. To be fair, I won't spell the entirety of his last name.

Most Americans are horrible drivers, you won't get any argument here.

Maybe just the NY drivers. The morons here can't drive for s### .

Watch the irony is that the Hummer driver is American.

Should be worth mentioning that his Hummer was manufactured in the U.S.

Sadly, this is true.
The cops here (S. Cali) don't give a f__k about heroism. Had he done that here, he would have been thrown in jail for causing an accident and lawyers would be swarming him so that they could get paid.

 

[devilof76]

I don't know how the insurance companies would react up here, but I know the cops would have shook his hand (once they were done being overly suspicious).

Then again, we're much closer to Canada than we are California.
