This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

LMAO!! It's almost like a bad C&W song, except there's no dog in the story (and I mean animal, not potentially the woman).

I think you could still build it into a country song, but the video would be R-rated, and CMT wouldn't carry it. Shame.

And I thought the sensational part was the title:

The woman ran across the highway without her shirt on and police say she was struck by a bus carrying prisoners, presumably to court in Providence. The woman suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, police said.

She is a lucky, half naked, woman on her way ER, then to jail, and then the mental hospital

John it was a light hearted Star Wars joke to be sure. like Vis Major said. I just got deleted for my sense of humor from a article seed by Bill Harrison because he can never face the facts and if you bring them to his attention then you get deleted, it seems as if Luke Wright is now Bills puppy since he follows him from seed to seed and takes great delight in trashing me and I just joke at them and they take it as an insult. Some people take themselves WAY too seriously and have no sense of humor! Luke and Bill...fit the "Bill"

Luke,Luke Luke,...Trolls never put their photos up for everyone to see! or even give much info in their bio's so again you are wrong. But I guess it's just easier to label some one as such when you have little or nothing to offer. I live in Lancaster,Ohio Luke and I am too tall to be a troll! Before you call some one a troll you should look in the mirror. I am too open about myself and my life to be labeled a troll and have it stick by any means kid! One day you may mature but I won't hold my breath. Live Long and Prosper! Sorry to go off topic John W. but one must defend one's self against un-called for attacks.

What was a mental patient doing in a cab in the first place? I thought crazy people got driven by mental hospital authorites.

I guess topless in cab and running in front of a bus full of felons means and extra week in the looney bin without ice cream for dessert!

I hope the taxi driver is all right! Article fails to answer that question - I guess the TRUE victim here doesn't matter?! I hope that woman has to pay for any medical bills of the taxi driver and for damage to the car! The only car that woman should have gotten a ride in was a police car! Who in their right mind put that woman in a cab? They must need help as much as she does!
