Man dribbling soccer ball to Brazil killed by car


A Seattle man trying to dribble a soccer ball 10,000 miles to Brazil in time for the 2014 World Cup died Tuesday after being hit by a pickup truck on the Oregon Coast.
 
Police in Lincoln City, Ore., said 42-year-old Richard Swanson was hit at about 10 a.m. while walking south along U.S. Highway 101 near the city limits. He was declared dead at a hospital. The driver has not been charged.
 
Lt. Jerry Palmer said investigators found materials among Swanson's belongings listing his website, breakawaybrazil.com.
 
Swanson set out on the trek to promote the One World Futbol Project, based in Berkeley, Calif., which donates durable blue soccer balls to people in developing countries.
 
“We are deeply saddened to learn about Richard's death,” Lisa Tarver, chief operating officer of One World Futbol Project, said in a statement. “He was a very inspiring man who in a very short time walked his way into many lives. Our thoughts are with his family.”
 
Police said Palmer's soccer ball was recovered.
 
Kristi Schwesinger, a Seattle interior designer and close friend of Swanson's, said he had been a private investigator for many years, and switched to a new career as a graphic designer, but was laid off recently, and looking for an adventure.
 
“He was at a point in his life where he had raised his kids,” she said. "Both his boys (Devin and Raven) had graduated from high school. He had no mortgage. He had sold his condo recently and was between jobs.
 
“And he loved the game of soccer,” she said. “He stumbled on this great organization, One World Futbol, and decided this would be his passion the next year.”
 
In an interview with The Daily News in Longview, Wash., Swanson said he picked up soccer just five years ago and played on club teams and rooted for the Seattle Sounders.
 
“I felt destined that I should go on this trip,” he said.
 
His website said he left Seattle on May 1, and the trip would take him on foot for more than a year through 11 countries before reaching Sao Paolo, Brazil, where the World Cup soccer tournament will be played.
 
“It will be a trip of a lifetime where I will push myself further than I ever thought possible,” he wrote.
 
Swanson started out in flip-flops, and managed to spend 13 nights but switched to hiking sandals in Portland, Ore., Schwesinger said. He stayed two nights in Vancouver, Wash., with his son, Devin, but otherwise had been able to sleep on on the couches of one stranger after another who befriended him and helped him on his journey.
 
“It was all by word of mouth, Facebook, media contacts, friends and family who put the word out,” Schwesinger said.
 
Swanson spent Monday night in Lincoln City, where he was able to soak in a hot tub, and eat a gourmet breakfast, before he set off for Newport, not knowing where he would stay, she added. He posted photos and stories about his new friends on a Facebook page chronicling his journey.
 
Friends are talking about creating a foundation in Swanson's memory, and sending his two sons to Brazil for the World Cup, Schwesinger said.
 
“The hardest thing is he was so young,” Schwesinger said. “Just today we were planning his surprise birthday party for Sunday. He was so young, so full of life, so excited by the journey he was on. To be taken from us so soon is really heartbreaking.”

Authorities said they had no evidence that two of Castro’s brothers who were arrested Monday night were involved in the kidnappings.

Those brothers also appeared in court Thursday on charges unrelated to the abductions. Pedro Castro pleaded no contest to a 2011 charge related to an open container of alcohol. The judge dismissed a 12-year-old case against the other brother, Onil Castro. DeMetz said that the charges against Onil Castro were misdemeanors, an open-container charge and a drug charge.

Yet police arrest them and broadcas their image to the world making it seem as though is the three of them who organize and carry out this whole thing.

That's fine...stigmatize dey ol backsides...collateral damage,, wuhever

To piggyback on what sam sayin dey...you HAVE TO have a man on de ground (watchman/foreman/super/general) commin dey every two hours to check progress

and still yuh materials will magically disappear.

I nver build house from scratch but ah end up hurtin mihself bad bad tryin to renovate ah old house...ah shell really...for rental
Bhagwansings material slightly more expensive than home depot...but is the time delays dat go real cost yuh....labour limers is $
Delays for inspector=$$
Permits is $$$
Water and Lights to get link up?...real slackness

Imagine ah man who was wukkin town and country tell mih to meet him in he car to finalize some papers.....only in T&T oui....and Nigeria..and.....

Can I assume that Bhagwansingh's is reliable despite the delay.
So you meet him up in de car? ;-)
 
Do you know my father try to open a restaurant in Toronto. And to get the final permission to say that he was up to standard, he HAD to pass some change.

VB

Once mr bhagwansing get de money to fuel he Phantom...he go drop yuh materials on site no problem.
is when yuh use him as a contractor he go buss yuh throat (or so I've heard)

And after playin prim and proper ...waitin for three months and realizin my papers never movin out de office no time,, yeah oui...ah meet de man in he car, on Henry St.

your fadder mus be wanted he business speed up, because yuh know dem civil servants go do dey wukk up here....dey might hol it back lil back until they get someting to grease de wheels but eventually stamp go pass
