Really…how insensitive and stupid can people be. This guy (whom I know) is in very critical condition! There is absolutely nothing funny about it. Leave your political views off here. How about supporting him and his family?
We need turkey control. NOW!!!
If he’d been on a Harley with LOUD pipes this would have never happened
