ALERTER'S COMMENTS
To laugh because people are in a car accident, it's already known one is in grave condition and fighting for their life. I'm for free speech, but this cannot reflect on DU if it gets out. Please remove this post.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jan 19, 2016, 02:58 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Definitely falls under insensitive.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: If it had been only a fender-bender I'd say it was kind of funny (the OP was basically just poking fun at an awkwardly-worded headline), but since one of the people has been very badly hurt maybe it would be kinder to hide this or ask the OP to delete it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh, jeezus fuck. Really? What the...?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: the title of the OP is easy to misread.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: alerter seems to have misread the comment
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Looks to me like the alerter is really reaching to make this poster look bad. I don't believe there was anything ill intended.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
