Why would he throw himself under the tractor trailor any name for tehillim

Why did he throw himself under the trailor? Really? Because he tried everything else in life so, what the heck, why not this?
He was unfortunately suffering from depression! Perhaps some other mental disorder! That’s why,Rhonda

-because he loved life so much and was so happy, that he wanted to share his happiness with the moving truck by a big hug.

Always can count on Mr Consevative for a condescending remark.
Mr. Nice Guy – It’s ‘conservative’ not ‘consevative’.
Mr. Nice Guy:
-I’m not trying to be condescending, I am simply trying to wake someone up. This empty, air-head mentality is the same mentality that ends up flipping a car in a 25mph Lakewood street, or something else extremely foolish.
This is what sheltering people does = it creates adults who cant comprehend adult life, and why things happen the way they do, in the world.
(PS: you telling me, im being condescending, is your being condescending. you had the choice to 1.ignore me, 2.support me, or criticize me. you opted to criticize me. Very hypocritical of you!)
Did he throw him self or was it that they pass this law to stop for pedestrians so they think they can just step out in to the street and expect vehicals to be able to stop at a dime they still need to follow the lights that tell them to walk
