I really don’t care if you think it’s ok and there are no issues with what she did. What I can’t understand is that you’re hell bent on trying to tell me and other posters here that we’re wrong for thinking the fun needs to settle down when someone decides to have 5 kids. Yes it needs to settle down if you have just one who you are taking care of but 5 is even more of a commitment.
At this point this thread might as well be locked.
You’re presenting it as if she had some party girl lifestyle and refused to settle down, instead of a one time special occasion.
Actually, common sense dictates that 6am is a better time to go outside in a bad neighborhood than later. In home care, we were always told if we had to go to a bad area to go as early in the morning as possible, because drug dealers/criminals tend to sleep late.
OMGoodness. I am finding it amusing a couple posters are hung up on time of day and attribute that to the deaths and actually believe they should have known better than to be out of the house at those times.
Do people actually consider time of day and possibility of death when engaging in activities.
So apparently most people die at 11am, saturday is the worst day to die in an auto accident, but its sunday for homicide, September 16 is the deadliest day of the year second to your birthday or January 1 or July 4 depending on what source you use.
You are right most violent crimes and homicides occur after 6 am, between 3pm and 9pm. Most traffic fatalities occur between 5pm and 6pm.

It's the hood, it's winter, it's still dark at 6 AM and there is no one on the streets. Check on the crime rate in that area of Milwaukee.
Nope, I wouldn't be going out at this hour, particularly having 6 kids at home.
Not safe.

We do not know Jack $hit about her and how often she went out or stayed home. Nothing. All we know is her husband or partner said she was the life of the party. That's it. None of us can say either way if she did party or stayed home.

Adding onto your thoughts about everyone thinking....
Honestly, I like a lot of you posting in this thread but how many times can everyone give their opinion? If you notice, I stepped away days which was probably a hundred or so posts ago.
I don't have time to argue with everyone on who's opinion is right. It's opinions, we all have them.
Until we have facts, everyone can keep arguing their opinion is right till their fingers are bloody.

Of course he has an attorney to sue. The go fund me almost has $80k.
I agree that nothing good comes after midnight. I guess everyone is learning a hard lesson about these party buses, if it even was one of those fancy party buses.
Sorry, I'm in a foul mood. I shouldn't have opened this thread. lol
The go fund me has slowed down. It's at $95,879 raised of $50,000 goal. That's a little over $15k in 17 days.
I found the piece below about a week ago, just didn't have time to post it. Apparently this is not the first party bus death on this freeway. Someone fell out of the front side door onto the freeway. The attorney interviewed got the family $4 million dollars.
What's interesting is it calls her husband, her partner of 12 years. Maybe they were not married? Sounds like all of the kids belong to him which eases my mind about siblings being ripped apart, going to their fathers after her death. I have not seen any update. I just looked. I was hoping to see some sort of update about the party bus owner.
Attorney Christian Nickerson weighed in on the well-documented dangers of party buses on Fox 11 after Garcia’s tragic death.
“These incidents keep happening throughout the country, and the public needs to know that this is a serious safety issue,” Attorney Nickerson told Fox 11.
As a partner at Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, Attorney Nickerson represented the family of 24-year-old CJ Saraceno who was killed in a similar incident. While changing the music on the radio, the party bus swerved; Saraceno lost his balance, fell down the stairway and was ejected through the front door of the bus. He plunged onto the 101 Freeway and was struck by the rear tires of the party bus and several cars.
“Unfortunately, there was a complete lack of maintenance on the door,” Attorney Nickerson said.
Attorney Nickerson helped Saraceno’s family reach a $4 million settlement with the party bus company for negligently maintaining the door. CHP had cited the party bus owners for safety violations five months before the incident, but the defendant continued to operate the vehicle without making repairs. The case helped expose the gaps in the enforcement of safety regulations for limo companies that use these vehicles. Sadly, therefore, Garcia’s accident was not unprecedented.
Garcia is survived by her partner of 12 years and their 5 children.

And yet some posters keep painting her as a party girl.
You can get a feeling for people by FB posts. Looking at Rafael Corrals FB (she did not have one) I get the impression she was not one to go out and stay out late regularly. There are pictures her with the children, of them having birthday parties at home, etc. No bunch of drinking photos. Being the life of the party has nothing to do with alcohol consumption.
San Diego Police Department received a report around 10:15 a.m. that a party bus had been stolen at 4010 Morena Boulevard when the vehicle had stopped to pick up clients, police said. Police said the driver of the bus, a 2018 black Ford, had left the vehicle running with the key in the ignition when someone got into the bus and took off.

I'm closing some old tabs, found this reply typed out but can't recall if I ever posted it a few weeks ago. When I originally wrote it, the Heather Garcia go fund me - $95,614 raised of $50,000 goal, right now it's showing $96,412 raised of $50,000 goal. It shows the last donation was 16 days go so it is probably not going to hit $100k any time soon.
....passengers should also try to be aware of their surroundings and exercise good judgment. This includes taking stock of the situation, avoiding becoming excessively intoxicated, and watching out for others who may have overindulged.
Heather Garcia’s tragic death proves that privately operated transportation cannot be assumed to offer complete safety. People who are intoxicated should be encouraged to sit down. The law office notes that, even if the bus door had prevented Heather Garcia from falling onto the freeway, she still could have sustained an extremely painful and debilitating injury.
It’s only natural for partygoers to want to celebrate but both transportation providers and passengers need to be aware that there is no such thing as completely risk-free travel. While tragic accidents can happen to anyone, a little awareness and common sense can minimize the odds of becoming a victim.
