Ambulance services should be reserved

for normal people, and denied to this pack of sub-humans...

A teenager whose legs were severed in a train accident on the NSW mid-north coast during his 18th birthday celebrations has died in hospital, police say.

The man was taken to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle in a serious condition after he was struck by the freight train in Taree in the early hours of December 21.

Both of his legs were severed above the knee in the accident, which occurred at a level crossing on Bushland Drive.

Police from the Manning-Great Lakes local area command confirmed the teenager died in hospital on Boxing Day, three days after the accident.

The teenager, who is understood to have been visiting Taree with his family, had been celebrating his 18th birthday with a group of people on the night he was struck by the train, police said.

Taree Mayor Paul Hogan said on Tuesday he had only just learnt of the teenager's death.

"The death of the young lad is very sad, very upsetting," he said.

Police are still examining how the man came to be on the train tracks at 4.30 on the morning he was struck.

They are also looking at the actions of a group of people who hurled rocks and verbal abuse at emergency service workers as they arrived to try to help the teenager, who was trapped beneath the train and lapsing in and out of consciousness.

The train driver, who stopped the train at the scene of the crash and called triple-0, initially appeared to be the target of their attacks, police said, however two police officers were also struck with rocks.

The driver and officers initially took refuge in the driver's cabin before police reinforcements arrived.

When paramedics arrived, their ambulance windscreen was smashed and paramedics were "blocked, pushed and verbally abused" during their initial attempts to treat the man, police said.

Police say criminal charges could be laid against the crowd who targeted the emergency service workers.

Mr Hogan said that, while the teenager's death was tragic, the actions of the group would not be tolerated.

"It was a very unfortunate accident that had happened, but it was very upsetting the trouble that was caused with the emergency services. That was definitely unwarranted, and no one will tolerate that," he said.

So you're saying that the kid whose legs were cut off should not get an ambulance because his supposed friends are jerks?


Novel moral theory.


Wait, he's foreign, right? Am I right?

Who said anything about the injured kid not getting help?

God, you're a moron.

[BoSoxGal]

Bizarre, why would they react that way to good folks come to help??

I was waiting for the news that they were all drunk, as well as the kid who on his birthday celebration night ended up on train tracks.

Sad story, all around.

Those reading comprehension issues once again rear their ugly head...

Not only is it obvious from even a cursory reading that Strop was not referring to the kid who lost his legs but to those who attacked the emergency personnel, (for those who might be a little slow, putting the relevant part of the article in bold should have been a dead giveaway) but there's also no indication in the article that the scumbags throw rock and bottles were the victim's "friends"... they could have been an entirely different group...

I suspect BSG is right about one thing...

There was probably alcohol involved all the way around...

Attacking paramedics is apparently becoming popular in New South Wales (I came across this while trying to find more details on the first story):

Police, paramedics attacked with bottles while trying to help injured man in Bourke

December 29, 2014

Police and paramedics were pelted with bottles as they tried to help a seriously injured man who had been glassed in the eye at a party in north-western NSW, police say.

The 22-year-old has permanently lost sight in his left eye after he was attacked with a broken beer bottle at a party in Bourke in the early hours of Boxing Day.

Emergency service workers who arrived at the party to treat the injured man were attacked by partygoers who threw bottles at them, before they were able to take the injured man to Bourke Hospital for treatment.

The injured man was later flown to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney for emergency surgery, but doctors were not able to save his eye.

It was the second time in a week that emergency service personnel trying to treat a seriously injured patient were attacked in NSW.

In an unrelated incident in Taree on December 21, police and paramedics attempting to treat an 18-year-old man whose legs had been severed in a train accident were pelted with rocks and verbally abused.

Two police officers were struck with rocks and an ambulance windscreen was smashed in that incident. The injured man had been celebrating his 18th birthday before he was hit by the train at a level crossing.

A NSW Police spokeswoman said the latest incident occurred about 1am on Boxing Day, when police were called to reports of an assault at a party on Warrego Street in Bourke.

When officers from the Darling River local area command arrived they found paramedics treating the 22-year-old, before the partygoers turned on them.

At 3am the following day, police arrested a 17-year-old over the glassing and charged him with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Police allege he used a beer bottle to damage the 22-year-old's eye.

The teenager was refused police bail to appear at a children's court on Monday.

Once again, it appears alcohol may have been involved...

To be fair, Gob's original post was not a model of clarity.

But really, who goes after EMTs and Medics? What losers.

[MajGenl.Meade]

... and republicans doubt. There is a dIrect correlation between right wingers and violence against emergency service workers (see graphs and independent blind survey data from UC Berkeley). Or Catholocism... now it was one of the two... or both. Atheism is proven to be not at all a factor in anything.

Survey : Who's responsible?
(a) Republicans 55%
(b) Catholics 42%
(c) Atheists 0%
(d) Don't know 3%

I agree with Meade because he provides data to support the fact that there is information that is relevant to certain things.

So you didn't actually have a point, again.


There was no connection at all between their bad behavior and sending ambulances. It was your own poverty of expression or cognition which led you to attempt to connect the two. Perhaps if you think further, or even slightly begin, you will discover a way of illustrating your disapproval of their behavior which makes some logical sense, an apposite one. Because this one makes as much sense as saying they don't deserve ice cream trucks or hot food.

Oh geezus...

Yo, Einstein...

The point was this:

PEOPLE WHO ARE SO VILE THAT THEY WOULD ATTACK EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND INTERFERE WITH SOMEONE ELSE GETTING EMERGENCY LIFE SAVING CARE SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET THAT CARE THEMSELVES IF THEY SHOULD NEED IT.

In other words, it's the rock throwers who are being referred to as "a pack of subhumans" who should not be eleigible for ambulance services, because of what they did...

Sheesh.... talk about being a stranger to the bleeding obvious...

(And coping an attitude about it to boot...that's hilarious... )

Nah, he's not an idiot...

He's really a a very smart guy who has some clever reason for pretending to be an idiot...

ETA:

Now the only question is how many more times will he return to this topic "pretending" to be an idiot...

Oh look, shit-bomb Charley just flew by.

With his usual shitbomb. Meaningless drivel, and at his usual tiresome illogical length.

Were the malefactors offered ambulances? Did they get ambulances? Did they want ambulances? Would depriving them of ambulances then or in some future time have done anything at all to even up the karmic score and restored justice to the world? Let's say they were drunken louts here throwing rocks &c but next year they were working putting on roofing and fell off and had a compound fracture requiring medical treatment; would depriving them then, at that time, of an ambulance to hospital when the world had turned and the network of obligations was different, restore some sense of moral order to you? How totally stupid is that?

Only the truly psychologically stunted imagine that the path to a better and brighter would leads through the more thorough and brutal punishment of the wicked. But the stunted have forgotten, or cannot recall, how often they have been the evil ones

Ahem. One is amazed and slightly relieved that the willfully* stupid so eagerly parodize themselves.

I feel a sense of quiet contentment knowing that only the emotionally and intellectually stunted, like you, hate me.

Yes indeedy, once again it was "bombs away" for good ol' Shit-Bomb Charley:

you, hate me

Not at all rube; how could I possibly hate a man who brings so much laughter to the world?

Now the only question is how many more times will he return to this topic "pretending" to be an idiot...

That's One...

Shorely shome mishtake> It's TWO isn't it? 8:41 and 9:46 - both obvious pretend idiocies?

Everyone else understood so clearly that Gob's post was (a) a story for us all to ponder and comment upon and (b) accompanied by the suggestion that people who throw stones at ambulances and police don't deserve to receive services from those they apparently despise and seek to injure.

As such, it may or may not be interesting to mental giants or I should say, to those who are just mental.
