Death at Farmer's Market?

[kikicabell.livejournal.com]

I've heard that some poor man had a heart attack or something on Wednesday at the Farmer's Market - ambulance came. Apparently, he died. I was wondering if this is true and I also was appalled by the responses of people there - apparently people were just walking around him and I can't believe the market wouldn't shut down if something that horrific happened. Does anyone know anything about it?  Thanks.

Why does it matter if they died at the Farmer's Market? Shouldn't you be saying "If someone f-ing DIES, it's a horrific thing."

Death is a part of life. You seem to have yet to deal with that...

As for shutting down the market... I can't possibly imagine a reason to, except to the extent for getting emergency personnel in and out. The people selling wares at the market need to make a living, and the food will go bad if it's not sold. Some may say a little personal prayer, for the anonymous man, but I've never been a fan of enforced mourning (assuming he's even dead).

But then again, new account created just for this post, it would appear. You must be a troll.

Yeah, I think it would be more horrific if the honest people selling their wares at the market were robbed of their money simply because the circle of life was being completed nearby.

It's not like babies got shot or anything. That would be horrific.
