What kind of miserable person makes jokes about a situation like this?
The OT routinely makes jokes about people doing dumb things and dying.
Black thug accidentally shoots himself and it’s Darwin. Someone has road rage and tries to ram someone and drives off a Cliff, he deserved it. In fact, there was a thread on the OT yesterday about a teen in California who climbed a building and died and the poster called it Darwin and everyone laughed.
But a white kid from UHigh does the same thing and it’s not Darwin, it’s a tragedy.
Each situation is tragic and due to a mistake. It doesn’t make one situation more different than the other.

Was gonna give props to the kid if she was considerate enough to text her parents and let them know she was safe given the tragedy and given how parents start worrying when something like this happens.
What’s your point? My question ruffle your britches?

Meh. No amount of alcohol is making me voluntarily jump overboard into the Bahamas at night.
Looks a case of seeking attention gone horribly wrong. Very sad.

I took a water survival class in ‘93 for my summer offshore job. They put us in a pool dressed just like we were working (boots/FRP/jeans/ect). Then told us to tread water without a life jacket. After about 5 - 10 minutes we started getting tired. We could go longer but we knew we had a limited time. We were all surprised how much effort it took just to keep our heads above water.
We were then shown techniques to greatly reduced our physical efforts using natural bouency techniques.

Ok then, explain. Explain why a California teenager making a stupid decision and climbing a building and falling off is more tragic than a Louisiana teenager making a stupid decision and jumping off a boat.
Hey, hey, don’t go overboard with logic on TD.

Some future lifelong criminal thug shooting themself with a stolen gun is not the same as a drunk kid making a tragic mistake.

Nobody said there’s a future criminal and nobody said a stolen gun.

I just fricking said it dumbass.
“Black thug” (your words) implies criminal with stolen gun.

A law abiding “black thug” with a legally purchased firearm. Got it. Thanks for clearing up your scenario for me.

Do you have that little social awareness to understand the difference is that it’s well established that people on this board know the young man and his family.
You have a serious lack of common sense

People usually don't have sympathy for thug gangbangers.

Again, people usually don't have sympathy for someone attempting to hurt someone else.

Well, at least this one wasn't someone who would try to harm someone else, but trying to scale the top of a bridge to post it on social media seems pretty damn crazy and risky.

The kid in this story was on a trip celebrating his graduation from high school and did something very stupid, but he probably didn't realize how big of a risk he was taking with the currents, etc. I can see how people would have more sypathy for him due to him being so young and celebrating an accomplishment. It's not really that hard to understand.
