I don't know Joe, didn't even know his name before now. I had seen him on the bus frequently. A time…Read More or two he talked to me nonstop the entire duration of the ride. I believe the one thing we all have in common is, we want someone to listen to us. So I listened to what Joe had to say, and I engaged him. I'm glad I did. He impressed me as intelligent and modest, and I'm sure the RTA driver who killed him has created a great loss in a great many lives.

So sad I live on Detroit Ave 2 blocks before Lakewood Hospital. I don't understand how a bus can run…Read More someone over and not know something was wrong. There is some of those bus drivers that seem to not care at all about people there attitudes are bad. That bus driver had to hear him banging on the window but there not going to own up if they can get away with it. They should be sued and investigate. Maybe there were a eye witness some where.

↑ guessing RTA drivers care as much about people as you do about grammar.

Look at the byline and consider the source. "Editor"…Read More should be in quotation marks, not parentheses.

I've worked as a writer for over 10 years. Colin has to plan, research and write most/all of the…Read More content for the Lakewood Patch. He probably even has to go out and take the photos himself. So I understand that there's a certain urgency to getting content created and online. But yeah, adding a final read-through to check for typos would be nice as I do notice them around here quite often.

Thank you Heidi!! Joseph is a friend and like Timothy said, he is a good guy. You are a hero!! thank…Read More you!!

Sad to say, but this story does not have a happy ending. I will miss my friend Joe. RIP Brother.

I am sorry Timothy. I agree, I will miss Joseph much. He always had a joke in his heart and a smile…Read More on his face. This is so wrong in every way.

kim, spot on! and then in a town the size of lakewood, now losing population almost monthly and near…Read More only 50,000 - to have at least 30 police officers (how much is that in tax dollars per hour Peter?) and to close a street for over one hour - and all this was for a false alarm?
does anyone else think this is a bit over-reactive/overkill response?
more than 30 cops!!!!!! didn't we just witness in cleveland what happens when too many cops get together and the mob mentality of police starts to happen = and i think that incident had only 13 cops!
someone needs to review why at least 30 cops were on the scene - does it really take that many cops to control a situation? aren't they trained? how about 10 or 12 = why 30 in tiny Lakewood? don't these cops have anything else to do? bored?
why not have 10 show up first, assess and then if they need backup bring in 5 or more. i can't imagine a scene like this, where nothing was really happening to have more than 15 cops!
say 30! crazy and poor administration of police resources in again, a situation that turned out to be false.
and why close a street for an hour? say what?
