" I hope that Martha realizes what she has done. She has taken the life from an innocent student. He was a senior at Frisco High School, and he was going to walk across the stage Monday. The Frisco High School Graduation of 2007 will be devistating to many students and friends of Ben. "

" I was setting at the light when the suburban was turning in front of me. I heard the motorcycle flying past me. He never slowed down.
It was the saddest thing I have ever seen. I am so sorry to the family of this young man. He was very carefree in his actions. I don't even think he knew what happened. I am so sorry to all that were involved. Acts 24:15 "

" Did one of the people involved run a red light? Is there a camera at the intersection? I was there but only saw the bike already on fire but before the Police, etc. got there. It had just happened.
Thank you "

" Before we start laying blame lets find out the facts first. But I can assure you that this has effected both familes, trust me when I say that because I have been in Martha's shoes. It was not my fault but I blamed myself for a long time. My heart goes out to both familes and I am sure he will be missed but we need to remember that he is in a better place now. "

" My prayers go to the Dossett family during this difficult time.
As for Ms. Minett, I'm sure Martha didn't intend for this accident to happen.
No one has the right to judge or belittle someone.
Keep both parties in your prayers "

" This is a horrific accident and I cannot even imagine what either family is going through and I know people are angry- but this is what I found,
"Police said Dosset, who had planned to join the Navy after graduation, ran a red light and crashed into an SUV after school."
I hope everyone can pray for both families and not place blame - the woman involved was not negligent according to the police- and I can imagine she is having a difficult time with what happened as well.
Peace to all~ "

" please do not blame martha......i saw her car and it was so obvious that it was not her fault. please remember that she is hurting just as much as the other family. i feel so awful for all involved. please pray for all of them. May God help ease everyones suffering. "

" I see too many of these motorcyles fly by me going at high rates of speeds like they will never get killed and nothing will ever happen to them. I'm sorry that this young man lost his life, but if in fact, he was flying down the road......who's to blame????? I don't know if the other person ran a red light or what; however, until all the facts are presented one should not place blame. "

" That is terrible what happened, but lets not jump to any conclusions in blaming Martha. Maybe it was her fault, but that's not for us to guess. A lot of kids on these bikes are going way to fast. They will get to 80-100mph in a blink of an eye.
Where she might have turned safely in front of someone going 50 would it be her fault if he was going 100?

" Terrible, Terrible tragedy and I pray for both families. However, I don't understand why he had a motorcycle to ride at such a young age to begin with. As a parent my children will never be allowed to ride or have a motorcylce at that age and still in Highschool. Teenagers are teenagers and the responsiblity of acting responsible in car is challenging enough but having a motorcycle is just to dangerous. "
