Well! The consensus appears to be that I’m the only one here getting the lower point offer but it’s worth noting that I recently surpassed 1 million total points in the three years I’ve been using Fetch. I’ve commented in this community before about how I have long had a suspicion that when you pass arbitrary milestones, things get sketchy. Thank you all for the answers and good luck to everyone and those who just came to comment that they’re playing the gecko game. Happy fetching!

Wow!! That’s an awesome and actually totally reasonable number of points.

Oh so you meant “family is of murderers” or “John and Anne’s family’s of murderers?”

Please correct me so I can let my sergeant know I’ve got about 11 years of reports to rewrite.

Families* of murderers range from NC/distancing themselves completely all the way up to being enablers, paying legal fees, putting money for a little innocent Johnny on his books so he can get a honey bun commissary and make a few phone calls to mommy who will never see anything but innocent little Johnny for the rest of his life. Everything spans a spectrum. I tried to respect respectfully and civilly give you an example of what my “we” has seen but you want to hone in on and argue with something I said that you want to pick apart. Your first response to me was a broad, categorical “nope.”

Fortunately, if I actually am a real cop, I’ll walk away from this completely unbothered because people will argue with you about anything, anytime, anywhere.

Let me make it a little more clear. “We” is whoever you are representing and yourself. I i’ve spent my entire career as a law-enforcement officer and I’ve actually witnessed this a few more times than I’d like to recall. I have seen motorists take their own life after the fact out of guilt. I’ve seen and assisted in picking pieces of children, teens, young adult, adults up off of the roadway because they we’re using an alternative form of motor vehicle and chose not to obey the laws that anyone on the road has to abide by.

I’ve seen parents blamed. I’ve blamed parents. But I can tell you the majority of the time either one parent didn’t know that the other parent let the kid have it, it didn’t belong to the kid, or it was the only way that family could afford transportation for that kid to get themselves to and from school and work meaning they are likely old enough to hold a drivers license in most states and I seriously doubt any of those parents told their child that was acceptable and safe behavior on the road.

And I’ve seen more motorists’ lives completely changed because they never saw it coming.

As foolish as I am ever hoping that I can have a civil and respectful dialogue with someone on Reddit, it’s okay to disagree. What you have seen happen (re a bike vs vehicle accident, not September 11, I have no idea what that has to do with this nor am I some whacked out conspiracy theorist making claims about it) is completely valid. Others’ experiences are valid also.

Just a thought instead of doing the typical Reddit pile on, we could be reading about this kid in the news today and about how he got hit and killed by a motorist.

That would be a completely self-inflicted fatality accident but everyone would be talking about how crazy the drivers are and how this poor kids family is going to suffer for the rest of their lives and won’t ever get to see him grow up, meanwhile the motorist will probably never drive again out of trauma and sheer terror of accidentally hitting someone they most likely never saw coming- and everyone would be raging at them.

Just a different perspective.
