It’s her own fault for trusting a bishop and an assistant dean academic advisor. What was she thinking?

To say nothing of the Worst Headline Ever – reads like an intern’s first draft at the National Enquirer.

You know, folks, you really don’t have to read articles that don’t interest you nor do you have to click the comment button, and you really aren’t compelled to respond. We really do have choices here.

Megan Mengelt’s mother, Maureen Mengelt, was killed in 2013 when then-Lutheran Bishop Bruce Burnside struck and killed her while driving his car. Bishop Burnside was intoxicated and texting with Tori Richardson, an assistant dean at the university, while driving to a church event.

Sigh.

I would not be shocked to find out Richardson was a big Walker supporter.

You don’t think the editors of this site appreciate the free feedback?

Not really. They’re going to post whatever they feel like posting, but clicking on the article and then commenting is pretty much like sending feedback that says, “more please”.

I would be absolutely stunned if they read the comments at all. If they did, maybe the countless complaints about shoddy writing and sloppy editing would have had an effect by now. Sadly, that seems not to be the case.

They guy ought to be liable if he knew he was texting with someone who was driving. That’s negligence right there.

Silly to think TPM folks read the comments on every article. Try sending your comments to the Send Comments and News Tips link on the home page.

Think of this as cowbell!

What if he was telling him not to text or maybe even more importantly get driving if you’ve been drinking?..granted he probably wasn’t, but just sayin’…

I certainly hope the Bishop is in jail…or, sigh, more realistically, at least not a bishop.
