George Weller Santa Monica Farmer's Market Mayhem - Whose Fault?

Yeah, Weller did it. But intentionally or in panic? Who knows?

If you are honest, most of you will admit to temporary accelerator/brake confusion at least once in your life. I've done it, at maybe half Weller's age. But I, like obviously most, recovered quickly with no harm done.

Whatever the reason for Weller careening through the Santa Monica Farmer's Market, it is clear that specific officers of the City of Santa Monica and/or the promoters/officers of whatever commission or organization that set up that politically correct disruption of traffic venue, practiced deliberate neglect of public safety.

Haven't they ever heard of 9/11? I thought our fearless leaders were supposed to take that seriously. The Farmer's Market is a perfect terrorist target. It just happened that a demented or dazed and confused old fart got to it first.

The City of Santa Monica takes in at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, likely millions, in traffic and parking fines. Where is that money going, that they couldn't install some retractable bollards such as are installed at the street entrances to the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade?
