NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A mother’s tragic drowning death highlights the need for multilingual safety signs around Percy Priest Lake.
Her family said that she didn’t speak English and couldn’t read the warning signs posted around the lake.
…
Ambrosio says his family didn’t know the water could be dangerous because the signs are only in English. Amarilia died in the hospital on Wednesday.
Correct me if I am wrong, but going into big bodies of water anywhere in the world has the inherent risk of drowning. It is a universal danger that breaks language barriers and really do not need signage. I am sure even in Guatemala there might have been a drowned person or two in its history.
And of course, enter the Guilt Giving Liberal mindset playing their famous guilt tune “If there were only…” (signage in Spanish version) because we need more of your money to be wasted in crap that is obvious to the dumbest of regular people.
The family says they need financial help getting Amarilia’s body back to Guatamala for the burial. You can donate to their GoFundMe here.
Already past the $5,000 mark.
That makes as much sense as expecting - really demanding - any country I visit to have signs in German, say, for the convenience of the Ubiquitous German Banker Tourist.
if you gonna be dumb, make sure to blame someone else…. sad what my Country has become
