One of Nicest Humans Ever is Arrested

Denver, CO - A good Samaritan who helped push three people out of the path of a pickup truck before being struck and injured has gotten a strange reward for his good deed: A jaywalking ticket.

Family members said 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night. Moffett suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He was in serious but stable condition Wednesday.

The Colorado State Patrol issued the citation. Trooper Ryan Sullivan said that despite Moffett’s intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident. Moffett had been driving his bus when the two women got off. In the interest of safety, he got out and, together with another passenger, helped the ladies cross.

Moffett’s stepson, Ken McDonald, said the driver of the pickup plowed into his stepfather, but not before Moffett pushed the two women out of the way.  When he awoke in intensive care, he learned of the ticket. “His reaction was dazed and confused. I was a little angry,” said McDonald.

The other man also was cited for jaywalking, while the pickup driver was cited with careless driving that led to injury. Sullivan said the two elderly women haven’t been cited but the investigation is ongoing.

Seriously, you issued this man a citation.  That would be like a man seeing two old ladies drowning in a private lake, jumping in and saving them and then being arrested for trespassing.  Come on Trooper Ryan Sullivan, I don’t care how many times the kiddos in high school wedgied your lame ass or called you Fat Ry, it doesn’t give you the right to citate a frickin’ hero.  First of all the man is a busdriver and got out of his bus to help old ladies across the street.  Have you ever in your life seen a busdriver do such a deed?  In the snow I might add.  Then as a truck comes barrelling down the road he pushes them out of the way, saving their lives and takes the hit. After the hit he wakes up in a hospital with bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen.  He should have awoken from slumber a king; I’m talking Jesters and Genie’s feeding him fruit.  Nope, instead some douche cop had a jaywalking ticket rearin’ and ready for him. 

Unlike Ryan Sullivan the Pinkie appreicates heroism and would like to give a shout-out to our boy Big Jimmy Moffett! 

We would pick up the tab for the ticket but nobody will buy a T-Shirt!  Buy a T-Shirt or at least email us and let us know how bad they suck.
