93 Year Old WWII Vet Freezes to Death at Home...

I wouldn't be surprised if this article had a lot of spin to it since a lot of information was left out. There should have been some contact between the power company and the WWII Vet though, that was a very large mistake (unless that was not included in the article).

TheMercenary, from the picture it looks like he lived in a low density neighborhood. But that could mean anything and that "neighbors should watch neighbors" is a bad argument.

I didn't say that they should and that was not an arguement I made. What I said was:

there is the assumption that someone else is always doing the thing that you considered doing yourself, like checking in on the old guy from time to time.
