The Highwayman's Rig: Totaled
I have been asked many times on why I: *ask someone to please take that cigarette butt with them *tell co-motorists that they are following too close, or just ran a completely red light, or heck if their tire is flat or something is falling off their vehicle *inform individuals that throwing lit cigarettes out the window does start fires *scold children and teenagers from verbally and/or physically abusing one another or elders The questions are typically followed by a statement of "that person could have a gun", or "what if you ran a red light and somebody yelled at you?" The answer to those have always been that I would hope they don't have a gun or at least are not ridiculous enough to try and use it, but I 100% would welcome and expect anybody to yell at me if I ran a red light. I firmly believe that we need to both keep our citizens in check and also help every person we possibly can within our power. In doing this, we all grow closer as a community. I would hope that Dorian posted the article as witness to maybe one or a few of the literally thousands apon thousands of Thomas Weller's gifted good deeds. Of course we are going to hear from the occasional person that believes they should have not been told by anyone that they need to stop at red lights, or not drive on someones bumper, or drive recklessly, or hit their girlfriend, and the many other things that people think go unseen or cared about. Just like most news, we seem to only hear about the bad and not enough about the good. The good, is that there are men like my dad, Thomas Weller, that have been instilling good-will and helping others for over 40 years. That even though we could pay millions to put thousands more law enforcement officials out there, it really comes down to communities holding themselves accountable and helping each other. Thomas Weller knows, believes, preaches, and practices that every day possible and with a little help from the community, he has been able to keep doing it. The bad is that accidents do occur and often involve individuals that are the most prepared. Unfortunately the point and request in the article, is that a witness was being sought after, and I doubt at this time that any are going to be able to step forward.— November 22, 2012 9:21 p.m.
