• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

So who is going to take the rap for this one?

I agree that the City is at fault for not safely cordoning off the manhole or at least leaving one employee there to ensure that no one could fall down it.

However, the fact remains that the girl is not totally blame free and the innocent party in this case. If the girl had NOT been texting while walking then she would probably have never fallen down the hole in the first place as she would have seen it. She wasn't alone either and was walking with a friend so why didn't the friend warn her of the hole instead of saying nothing.....was she texting too?

It's a sad state of affairs but most teens these days can barely walk and chew gum at the same time so trying to walk and perform a complex task requiring dedicated hand/eye co-ordination is just asking for bad things to happen to you.
