A prime example of what NON english means to some

Too bad it's too late to explain to them why they are dead now. Sure these men and women survived the WWII and gave up many things for this country just to be betrayed by what some see their "right" to be here and work here without meeting the same requirements as us who speak english.......... This just infuriates me!!

I remember this when it happened and fine myself only a little angry with the driver and a whole lot pissed with the owner of the bus company that broke all the laws by putting this driver behind the wheel in the first place.

That's why I posted it.......... this is what happens when folks - be they big business or small.......... find a way to break laws to benefit thier business. Can money REALLY be this important?..... Well don't answer that. One of the passengers was a well known talk radio guy. Only he has Alzhiemers. There were quite a few "movers and shakers" of thier time on that bus. Just so sad. The driver didn't help and he's saying it's because he couldn't read or speak english............. Helping is universal............. the bus company I believe is now out of business but that's still no excuse........... just such a tragedy......

We don’t know if the driver would have done anything different if he did speak English and had the proper papers. We do know the company owner should have never put the guy in the bus in the first place and didn’t do proper maintenance on the bus.
