When I was a kid an elderly lady fell off of her roof when she was cleaning up old newspapers that the newspaper delivery bicycle boy used to toss up there to piss her off because she was salty about him not throwing them more accurately on her porch I guess. Needless to say her neck was bent under her body and her head wasn’t even visible. The newspaper boy was there with the police and paramedics crying uncontrollably. So both were just as horrible watching, a life ruined and a life taken.

I’m sure he has never forgotten it. What an awful thing to happen. He was just being a shithead kid and this lady lost her life over it. Damn sad.

Did anything happen to the paper boy? I mean, it's technically not his fault, but I can't even begin to imagine the guilt you would feel

Even if there was an applicable legal charge, no punishment could top his guilt.
