Reply to comment by RandomChurn in 2 dead from reckless Dirt Bike riding on city streets by Flashbulb_RI

Looks like two of the morons doing wheelies towards oncoming cars finally got got. Can’t say I feel too bad for them. You’re 21 years old you’re a grown man and should know better.

When I was 21 years old, I was in Afghanistan on a volunteer deployment to keep Kandahar City secure. We efficiently and effectively disrupted and dismantled insurgent networks for months.

But I was still just a dumb fucking kid, because I was only 21 years old. Let's show a little empathy here. We all know their actions were dangerous to others as well as themselves, and it should be condemned. It's a problem to be solved. But they're dead kids, at the end of the day. And that sucks.

I didn’t say that it doesn’t suck that they’re dead. I just said I don’t feel too bad for them because they actively chose to try and traumatize other people and do things that were borderline suicidal. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. At least they didn’t kill or maim the driver.

It’s strange..replace “21 year old ‘youth’” with “drunk driver” and there would be little to no sympathy…

Seriously, didn’t even show sympathy for the poor driver of the SUV who has to deal with this even though they were behaving like a responsible adult.

Like a baby because I don’t intentionally traumatize other people by driving recklessly into oncoming traffic. I’ve seen dudes like these in providence literally play “chicken” with oncoming traffic just to scare the drivers.

Sounds like they encountered the consequences of their actions and by doing so traumatized an innocent driver who has to live with this now.
