Tulsa Killed in Industrial Laundry Accident

[si_uk_lon_ok]

CNN were reporting that last night. It sounds very sad, not a nice way to go all things considered.

Damn, our City died!?!  Someone forgot to inform me of this yesterday.  I most certainly would have slept in this morning.  

People have been screaming for years that our City is dead, not sure they articulated that it happened in an industrial laundry facility, just goes to show how slow our local media is.  Somehow they got the copy mixed up.

This is up there with my "Hanson convicted of murder" headline I had on my wall for 5 years.

when this is investigated further it will be discovered that he was undocumented.

[deinstein]

He's the brother in-law of the dishwasher at the place I work. He showed up for work last night, but was obviously devastated about what had happened earlier that day.

Who cares if he was undocumented or not? He was here taking care of his family, working hard like his brother does every night and obviously not in the safest environment.

The only investigation I'm interested in...is how this happened and the safety standards at the plant. I could care less if someone is 'undocumented' or not.

well buddy, if he hadn't made the decision to come here illegally he might still be alive somewhere wouldn't he?

the only thing I fault the employer for is fueling illegal workers by hiring the guy.

Starting off with 'well buddy' just reeks of you being a ignorant conservative with no grasp of the big picture. If you assuming his Latino name meant he's undocumented didn't already.

His brother in-law is perfectly 'legal' and 'documented'. Which leads me to believe he is 'legal' and 'documented' as well.

And I wish you well in life taking someone's death so slightly. I'm sure you're an all-around classy person.

Unless you have knowledge that the rest of the World is not privvy to... you might want to rethink your stance on Latino's Legal or Illegal...

Either that or join the ones hiding in the "Gated Communities"..........

OK Muchacho.. [}:)]

Not speaking the native language makes your work environment more dangerous.  Terrible accident that no one deserves to have happen to them though.

just wait for the report to come out.  you'll see.  using someone's dead grandma's SSN doesn't count as documentation.  Where does the dishwasher work?  I'd like to review his papers.

anyways, just wait for the report....
I'm sure it will show up on OSCN.

This is NOT the way I wanted our city to go down!  I was hoping for meteor crash!  Thank you, Kenosha, for sharing.  Now we can build our town anew, with better downtown access to the river.

was bracing myself to come back and find a WM plopped down in my hood but not the city kicking the bucket.

Suck's, why come back at all?

Ooooh, maybe I can get relief aid in the form a debit card so I can get some more tattoo's and a new color TV!

Looking up, jdb

And that matters why? Where is your documents?
