Bill: Sorry for what happened to you and to the children of that mother. Living down south, she should have known better. It even happens up here.

We are obviously trying to keep it light by joking about the heat, as a coping mechanism, and I would imagine that not one soul here would ever consider doing something that would harm another person by being so incompetent and irresponsible. Most are aware of the issues with such heat, heck, we had a rolling blackout here in So. New Jersey, which is very unusual... lost our power for about two hours late in the afternoon.

I don't think any one here would joke about someone in the situation that you pointed out.
