    That's really too bad to hear. Makes you appreciate the fragility of life.

    I agree not to bright. Maybe he thought he could hitch hike a ride.

    You expect me to believe a guy online?

    Re: 16 year old stuck after leaving the Blazers Game

    Well, it seems a bit silly to me to jump to "bone-headed" when it has been claimed that he had a developmental disability. It's possible that the person who said so was lying, perhaps, but I don't think that should be the working assumption, leading to blasting the kid who was hit.

    wtf does developmentally disabled even mean? mentally challenged/retarded? or does it mean he had trouble learning at school but was still a competent person? i hate pc language.

    You think its the Rose Garden's fault that a kid runs away from the building during the game and gets hit by a car?

    I'm not blasting the kid, but if he's going to walk onto a highway, then he's making a pretty bone headed move.

    If zagsfan wasn't lying, then obviously my statement doesn't apply, but until then, I'll call it like I see it.

    Not lying. He was reported as "challenged" at the RG.

    Wait, more details please. Do you work at the garden? Or was he on the big screen? I don't get it.

    It's not PC language; it refers to a disability caused by abnormal development, rather than a disability caused by a circumstance during life (losing a leg in a car crash causes a disability, but it's not developmental).

    It's generally used for mental disabilities, though.

    It's Nate's fault, he should not let the players get so high after a great win.:tsktsk:

    I don't know the answer to that, and neither do you.
