Cars more important than people ?
If I had been involved in a minor car accident on Reservoir
Ave. in Cranston on Tuesday, Jan.29 , around noontime -even just a fender
bender - you can be sure that the police would have been on the scene in a
minute. But I was just a pedestrian - second class citizen ? - who was chased
into the middle of Reservoir - near Speck Ave. - by a vicious, loose, and out
of control rottweiler. I tripped and broke my right shoulder. Why
did the police not show up for an injured man lying in the street ?
If they had responded to the 911 or followed it up - there should
be some co-ordination between Rescue and Police - they might have intercepted
the young lady with the rottweiler. Is it legal to witness your dog cause
a serious injury and fail to report it ?
I hope Cranston City Council President DeLorenzo succeeds in getting
his vicious dog law passed. That rottweiler will cost me at least $18,000 in
medical bills. DeLorenzo wants vicious dog owners to have at least $25,000 in
liability insurance.
If you like to walk in Cranston, be VERY careful ! One more
sign of creeping BLIGHT !
