The city was -- give me even the only other night because so I drove by a an accident scene. In Wellesley and I just kept right on drive and and."

" No denied that spell I was given you in -- and that's fess up it was more than just a fact he was drive right -- it because you're a big concern upon hitting an accident scene. Was it is going to affect my ride home. Well of course gonna dead but it was worth it because of the humor involved in watching the field sobriety test. Still. I mean I'm you know why should I have -- in the I mean the guy the guy hit he was announced it was saint Patrick last compassion that you felt for the accident -- they each had done anything. Sandy was Sunday night after the Saint Patrick's Day parade. What with the odds even even before I saw the field sobriety test. I he headed I have a sneaking suspicion. That the guy was may want -- okay. He was smashed any smashed into effects. Bennett and tiny little two lane road. That the you know -- wouldn't wasn't going mordant just 3040 miles an hour thank heavens. But anyway I didn't stop I never stopped for an accident. When I bring this up again today indeed."

" There's a storage. In the -- Worcester Telegram today. About a good samaritan. Who stopped. It you know what this good samaritan got for her."

Punched her three times in the face according to Sargent -- He said -- mr. Diaz would be summoned the Fitch -- district court on three counts of assault and battery. This explains to -- not you know I was Leno why Pomeroy mr. did punched her out. No but I again I you know. Caviar just saying or is there alcohol -- that we don't know -- mean this is there there are many mysteries in this whole case I mean this guy what how did this guy the guy it was drive and end up hundreds of yards away with -- the nomination with with no shirt on. They end up with bruises all over himself how -- this guy happened they'll find him the next day Jonathan Diaz. But the record the question I want to ask your now always why why would why would you ever stop for anybody. -- world what was it that for me to stop for the drunk driver. What was in it for this woman -- amid -- notion was trying to do way do good deed but you know -- samaritan. What the samaritan beam where I think."

" There's a lying in you don't across every you can pull over and call for help. Without putting yourself at risk that's -- nice thing to do my."

" CC in the I was thinking about doing that but I figured that you know but given the fact that the guy had just smashed down my neighbor's fence. I figured that they have probably already called that a few feet actually if you feel who later I saw -- up a police car. Sirens. Blaring and a blue lights flashing coming at the scene of the accident. And so I didn't I felt I felt like that it really have to do anything but el Dorado how much of a stop. I mean I'm not gonna be you know much would be a stupid good samaritan shot dead. You know it's still good good some you have is bad not being punched in the nose you know this woman's ever going to stop her husband's ever going to stop again to help out anybody. I don't believe in it. What -- you know cops make a good live and let them handle 18774694322. Want I know you what -- saying. What about a -- your kids. Was was up pulled over had a flat tire -- forty your kids was -- Walken and you know it's smashed into offense. Tough that's -- I'd say I wouldn't expect you to stop -- expect -- him to hang on to what cops arrived. 187746. I would normally see in -- he drove by I -- nobody gets she if you drove by committee. 187. Says because I do the same trio. The golden rules. Don't do wonder other unto others as you would not do unto them. Some like that anyway Mike here next with how we cargo ahead might."

Actually suing him why well it's 500000 dollars. Well idea because of the Eritrea through very sustained when he dragged over the door out of a drought. You know look at the other good samaritan who would doubt that they brought. Between the multi week or face off."

" Right and every inventory hands off stoked."

" Dario up -- critical condition. Normally you Ali I I put blinders are out here I know I like -- I know not being."

" Yeah exactly exactly you know Leo -- I can think of a couple of incidents like the big one out -- nine. You know and the Dark -- guy gets a flat tire and does so some somebody pulls over to help him with the for help him or her with a flat tire and the next thing you know somebody comes out of a bar they've been drinking all -- framing hammer Natick and they smash into why they kill they kill the good samaritan. Same thing with the same thing happened up in Manchester run 93. You know somebody says somebody pulled over to help somebody grew his idea was dawn I think in a tractor trailer the guy dozed off any smashes into the car and ends up killing the good samaritan."

" Yup it's like do you have that. Those days regarding how we -- in the world body is so you don't fiscal argue busy book blinded are you better off."

I'm just lucky I only got hit three I only got hit in the face three times -- could've it could've been worse and could've been much worse. 18774694322. -- would you stop for a disabled motorist go ahead job."

" not again a long time ago how we I was I was in college. And our buddy Cianci would just having his party for his ignored duration and I was coming up to 95. It was a snowy night and it was a car in the ditch. And you could see the lights on and the insides so I went down into the ditch you know -- our wind down into the ditch those with my friends. And up there was this lady and she was blasted red -- And I think he says the meet biamby Knight -- he says don't touch my breath. Brood I'd shut the thought I left their best and I don't go."

I -- the obvious route thirty and I had two babies in the car that the mall is somebody blew through out blow away. And does think that another car and I part I was right there are right it's closer you can beat so I stayed around for the police they get okay this is a good civic -- I'd put my name in and all that stuff about a month later I start getting threatening phone calls from the kid's father.

" They -- I actually -- 1877469432218774694322. What was in it for me to stop for that drunk. Special with the cops on the way. It if you didn't know the cops are on the line that's the point you could have pulled all -- college ten seconds after our -- saw that I -- the -- are coming in the other direction. I knew a cop car was common not until you are well past Jackson -- there are any cops anywhere nearby right. I can tell to -- early in the car was smashed up but it wasn't one of these situated away with you know. -- the front windshield wasn't broken the guy had a new poll out from how many hundred yards away in the dark from your car that everything I had -- today it was clear our newest fine he wasn't in any danger the only danger he was gonna have -- was -- panic in the morning.

I'd say are you just eat eat it jumps we have to even think about it man it was a scene right out of a movie and stop him right -- stop every single time somebody needs help but not stupid enough to go to a car with the lights -- without a cell phone call first. And you know that's just the way it is."
