Why do I think that this investigation will be a up and will say that it's nobody's fault other than BS?
Not murder, but negligent homicide.

In addition to the whistle blowers who have come forward, the prospect of a negligent homicide charge might loosen the lips of some of those plow drivers.

My friend, IMHO actions have consequences so having said this their actions "have murdered" those people because whomever responsible deliberately took away the life saving tools for those now dead unnecessarily. They may as well have gone to those now dead (when alive) and them.

Well, I agree with you morally, but as far as legally, it would never be a murder charge. We already know the families will rightfully sue the city, but heads need to roll and some need to be put in a cage if the whistle blowers claims are true.

This is heartbreaking as well;

The News, quoting state Sen. Jose Peralta, reports that the woman's daughter, Laura Freeman, and her neighbors called 911 for 20 minutes before getting through on Monday.

Peralta told the News that Freeman then waited three hours for EMS workers to arrive at the house in the Corona section. By then, Freeman's 75-year-old mother, Yvonne, had died.

Heartbreaking it is!

If life was really valued the circumstances that made these deaths happen wouldn't be allowed to exist.

But because it's "not me" they couldn't care less IMO.

Do you have a problem with what nature throws at us? Move to Mars if you do, might be different there....

This had nothing to do with nature.

Waiting HOURS for an ambulance between of streets that have not been plowed is not nature.

No problem with nature but have problems with inhumanity which was evident and purposely done.

Maybe the union bosses and those others responsible in this can move to Mars where their actions won't affect anyone here on Earth. Then again maybe even the Martians would kick them out.

What information do you have that the general public doesn't? NOTHING has been proven
regarding any union action...
