as a rider, I’m always distressed to read of a motorcycle fatality. wonder if there was high speed involved, lack of safety equipment and or alcohol. Gainesville is a dangerous place to ride motorcycles with poor or absent traffic control. Sorry to hear it.
But he ran a red light. Sad but it’s his own fault.
He stole the motorcycle he was riding
How do you even know he stole the motorcycle? Don’t spew things you don’t know about, and regardless of what happened and whose fault it is, you should be respectful of the victim and their family. These are people you’re talking about.
