Some of you are so dense and simple minded, it's hard to see how you function as adults. Not everything is binary, black and white. You can recognize he is at fault and made a terrible decision that cost people their lives, while still recognizing the tragedy that is a talented young man with the world at his fingers dying. It doesn't have to be an either/or between mourning the loss and condemning the wreckless behavior.
Na. Who gives a shite that he died? Sucks for the other two, but they knew the risks. Most people didn't give a damn that he died because most people knew he was under the influence of something.

Just fallacy after fallacy in your last 2 posts

Cocaine stays in urine for only a few days after use unless you're a longtime hardcore addict where it can be up to a couple of weeks. It's gone from saliva and blood in hours but can be found in hair samples for a couple of years.

I didnt really have an opinion of him other than potential great player.. He failed at life in this instance and paid the ultimate price, taking two friends with him but I dont doubt that his friends were along for the ride so to speak..
Maybe it explains it but how can they definitively say he was piloting the boat.. just curious

Idiot.

He was also going ~65mph. That is hauling serious arse in a boat

So of course being famous and knowing a bit about the man increases the chatter

Anyone could make a tragic error in judgment. Being young and rich in Miami makes it even more likely. I don't excuse our condone it, but it isn't hard to see how it could happen. He is responsible for 3 deaths and that is a tragedy.
I like this.

I bet Tyreek Jackson's family and friends are.
Whoever the frick that is.
I know none of us are friends or family of Fernandez but the reality is, people form ties to athletes and celebrities.
Why the frick were people sad when Robin Williams died? Or David Bowie? Or Chris Benoit (PEEEJ!!!!)
Because the formed a bond with them.....if Tyreek Jackson died of suicide, or Cancer, or Murder / Suicide, I'm sure his family and people that had a bond with him would still mourn him.
This really isnt that hard guys.

You don't just do that once either. It's not like this was his first time ever making a horrible decision involving cocaine, alcohol and a vehicle.

If a father and son happened to be nigh fishing near the jetties, Fernandez's coked up arse would have ran them right over running at 65mph. All of a sudden, by making the same exact decision as before, we hate him more simply because of the result?
frick that, I am judging Fernandez on his shitty as decisions.
And any man who drives a boat 65mph coked up and drunk while having a wife and kid at home, likely isnt as good of a person as people are leading on.....

You are free to judge Fernandez on his terrible choices, and may be right to do so. It doesn't mean other aspects of his life have to be forgotten or ignored.

So no, not everyone has made egregious bad shitty decisions.

Fernandez seems nothing more that a rich person who thought the were bullet proof and didnt care how it harmed others.
But, since he was famous, we will weep and act like he was christ like. It is a media phenomenon in our society I find interesting.

The guy was high on cocaine, I have been drunk, but no I haven't been high on cocaine much less with a baby on the way, which I have coming right now. So no can't say we've all made the same decisions jose made.

Think of it this way: what if he survived the crash and the others still died?
