If everyone is dying in Clare County, Where is United? I have been following this whole thing and don't understand how MMR is claimed to be killing everyone by not getting there "in time". If United was available during this whole thing, then why didn't they respond? And mmrislying, have you ever called MMR dispatch? The question I have is where were are all the URSAA rigs?

The dispatch center is a joke staffed by a bunch of robots. Their rigs get lost in all the counties they work in. Most of the time the dispatchers either do not know where the trucks really are, or do not know how to use the system. Just listen to a scanner, you will be dumfounded at what you hear. They give the call to one unit only to have another unit tell them they are closer to the call! Have you ever had to call and talk to the robots? Once, and IF they can get your address right, they then go through a series of questions that you had better hope you have the answer to, or they will vapor lock! MacDonald will not go against Thompson, Barrow and the like or he will be fired. That and the fact that he, like his bosses, is incapable of doing the right thing! You people need to investigate what is going on in the other counties they operate in; you will find more of the same. They also lump their response times together so the critical call response deficiencies do not stand out! If it takes 20 minutes to get to a minor non-life threatening call, there likely will not be a complaint. What we should care about is the response times for critical calls. No one ever sees THAT data! “Lackey” MacDonald states that you can see the response data if you are family. Well MacDonald, how about releasing your response times for ALL calls by type? And don’t try and hide behind HIPPA. As long as PT specific information is not released, there is no violation. You jerks just want to continue the cover-up! There are great people on the road who care and want to make a difference; and do! It is too bad that the road crews have to work under such incompetent, unscrupulous, dishonest, uncaring, management! Maybe this task force needs to expand to represent ALL the counties MMR operates in. The article needs to clarify the 13 second vs. the 13 minute gap.

There are too many of these kind of incidents happening all over. As an adult, I experienced it as a child in a christian school. It was not fun then and I know it can't be fun now. I thank you for having the courage to speak out your pain. The loss of your best friend is trumatic to say the least. I believe because you spoke out you will save at least one of your peers because you have placed the hotline number in here for all to see. Believe me, I am one of those that tried suicide myself many times due to believing that no one cared about me. Keep on Keeping on! I am praying for you. Keep your chin up and I pray you will meet a new friend at the school that you are attending now. God bless you! I want to thank you for writing this here.

I only hope this does goes to trial, guess I'll see you there. No one has attacked you... seems someone or two claimed that same statement and it got someone else killed.... I'm seeing a pattern here. If you think that I've provided you with "trivial, emotion-fueled rhetoric" then get ready.

Also, keep in mind that I have not attacked you. I asked questions and made statements of facts. If you don't like what I have to say then don't read it. Furthermore, do you have proof that no crime was committed? Do you know that he wasn't in the parking lot? Do you know if he had threatened anyone that night including the police officers? My interest in this is purely my own. I guess I don't like seeing guys that put their lives on the line every day getting dragged through the mud for doing their job. You can keep saying it was a brutal shooting and attacking me, but you have yet to provide anything except for trivial, emotion-fueled rhetoric. Lastly, I have no reason to try to fool anyone. My conscious doesn't bother me at all. If this goes to trial in May, which I doubt from the letter I received from the plaintiff's attorney as he is dead set on settling, then hopefully I can testify to what I saw and this can all be laid to rest.

The mind is a powerful thing, you can imagine all you want, just like they must have imagined he was 10 feet tall and weighed 400 lbs by the brutality of his murder. I gotta ask myself why you are so concerned with this case; that of the brutal murder of an innocent man?? Perhaps if a family member of yours was brutally murdered at their own home, one who committed no crime you might have a different perspective of this entire matter. This case shouldn't be any of your concern, but you feel compelled to watch it closely..makes me wonder?? What part don't you get... an innocent, small, handicap man, blind in one eye was at his own home minding his own business, they came to him, no crime was committed in Clare that night except for his brutal murder...over kill is putting it mildly. I'm sure you did give a statement that night after they planted the said "evidence" and then paraded people around to come and look. You should be thanking the family for getting to the truth of the matter or they could be coming to your door next. Your not fooling anyone, your in the mix somewhere....is your conscious bothering you?? P.S. Get your eyes checked!!

I was there that night, I did watch all of the events unfold, and I did give both a statement to the police as well as a sworn deposition. I know who called central dispatch that night reporting shots fired in the park, I know what car the chief was driving that night, and I know, for a FACT, that the man had weapons in his hand when he was shot. I know this because I saw the events unfold. My questions to you Bunny are simple. Were you there? Did you see the events? If not don't presume that the police just showed up and started shooting. That would be completely incorrect. Sal, I am sorry for your family's loss. The loss of a human life is a tragedy. However, you may want to read through your statements again. Lastly, as to the two witnesses that came forward, I hope they were paid well for their lies. From where they were admittedly standing it would be virtually impossible for their statements to be truthful and accurate.
