    My condolences and heart felt thoughts go out to all the Families and friends. And indeed to all our American Brothers as we know any tragic loss like this sends ripples right through or fellowship and Families worry most of all. God bless all and hold them strong in the palm of his hand with tenderness and care till they can get past the difficult parts of rebuilding and saying goodbye till we all meet again
    God Bless You All.
    Joe.

    Hard hitting. But who is that nob Frank potember. I wish I was near to him right now as I would without a doubt break every bone in his body. I would now plead with all the American Brothers to go find him.
    Condolences
    Joe.

    I know its not the time to show anger or say things like I just did. But how in Gods name could anyone be so heartless irrespective of your feeling about bikers. Just think how the Families must feel now without nob head trying to get a rise out of tragedy. I do hope the Families forgive me. And I do send them all the sympathies I can muster.
    Regards
    Joe.

    I even feel grief and sadness for the driver of the truck and the owner of the company. What a thing to go through. Everyone loses in these situations. All life is.valuable. All families.suffer. All live with this forever. My condolences to all even remotely connected to this tragic incident. ...J.D.

    Now it comes out that the driver of the truck has two DUI incidents in the past. My sympathy for him is fading. If you have those kind of problems GET HELP before you kill someone. ...J.D.

    This truly is tragic, what these guys would probably have survived serving their country on foreign soil only to lose their lives in their homeland, my heartfelt condolences go out to all involved.

    The principal of my Junior High School had a quote posted on his wall. It read, It is better to be thought a fool than to open thy mouth and remove all doubt. That comes to mind every time I see something like that Idiot's reply!

    OH YEA: Judge has him on hold because he is a danger to the community because of his driving record. I also read that at the time of the accident he refused a breathalyzer test. He went home and would not answer his phone. I suspect he knew he was in deep trouble and went home to sober up before he got arrested. Cops on the scene should of grabbed his arse before he got away. Lots of stupid and incompetent people contributed to this situation. Why did he still have a drivers license ?, Why was he employed as a commercial driver ? Many questions. Life is a dangerous place these days. ...J.D.

    I worked in New Hampshire in 2002 for the summer at NH Fish & Game at Berlin and even then cops were not to fussed about DUI offences.

    Don't try this in California. Had a co-worker here back in the '80 get nabbed for DUI. After 6months of going to court, doing time on weekends so he could keep his weekday job [he was just a janitor], he told me that SO FAR it had cost him about $10,000 in court and lawyer fees. Hate to think how expensive that would be in this day and age. So called "liberal" California takes a dim view driving while impaired. ...J.D.
