Expect the 91 year old woman who died to be named shortly...

Several websites and Tweeters have looked at the obits for Fort Lee on 9/9/13 and come up with a name. Obviously, I won't repeat it here on DU since we don't roll like that.

After some checking myself, the name they are claiming was the unfortunate woman seems to be true. Its not very hard to Google...

Whoever she was, if she was impacted by the GWB BS, then it SUCKS BIGTIME!!!

But, I will say this, it is not gonna be helpful to Krispy Kream is she was someones 91 year old Italian-American Mother, Grandmother and maybe Great Grandmother.

Especially in New Jersey.

And if the family has more backstory about that day and the ambulance response time, yikes...

Everyone and I mean everyone ALWAYS thinks the EMT/ambulance people take to long to arrive, especially when the patient doesn't make it. At least that is my experience which is limited to the several times I have personally had to do this or have seen this happen. (that is a 911 call type situation)

It's all gonna come roiling up in his face real fast now. And I bet he's going to be an even more unbearable asshole from now on too... if that's possible.

I would let her be used as a political football. I just wonder at this moment.

I would wonder if the delay in the EMTs getting to her - not the ambulance - but the first responders would have made a difference in the outcome. Might she have lived is the question that would haunt me.

ambulances had arrived sooner that day. The fact is, the families were put through hell just waiting and wondering when help would arrive!

11. Thats what I think also. Even if the EMT's get there in 30 seconds, you wish they were there in 15..

were laughing it up as this woman was dying? Laughing while they were intentionally making her dire situation worse.

How is that proper governing? Christie should step down.
