whats the deal with college aged dudes running through shite when drunk?


I have run through a whole lot of shite in my 6 year drunken college career. Much of it was potentially life ruining. None of it was potentially life ending though.

This.

Unless it turns out he was on something else besides alchohol.

If I were the parents, I wouldn't wanna know the toxicology report. I feel like that would make this whole situation that much worse. Man, that sucks for that family.

Reminds me of the Toronto attorney that did something similar:

"In an attempt to prove to a group of prospective articling students that the glass in the Toronto-Dominion Centre was unbreakable, Hoy threw himself through a glass wall on the 24th story and fell to his death after the window frame gave way."

I bet it was funny until the splat part.

Feel bad for the parents. Try to get the kid educated and started in life and they party and waste it in NOLA

Probably would've been seriously injured even if he landed in the pool.

And that's fricking stupid. He obviously didn't just tap the glass and it fell out and his momentum carried him over.

Wouldn't this be ruled a suicide?


TV news story I saw last night kept referring to it as an "accident". I didn't get that because they relayed the facts of this death exactly as done here.

From the Nola.com article on it:

quote:

"Oh s--t," Whaley said when the window broke, one of his fraternity brothers told police.


Fitting last words.

Feet and knees together he would have been fine. His fault he did not assume the proper "prepare to land" attitude.

I've done some incredibly dumb stuff when drunk in college. Broken ankle, stitches, bar fight or three, but this is above and beyond.

This makes me wonder why his friends didn't stop him. This isn't like trying to break a beer bottle over your head (been there). This is trying to kill yourself.

I've seen shite that dumb on barstool sports and oldrow. It's tragic, but don't even be fricking around and ramming yourself into a window

----------------------------------------------------------

I didn't say it wasn't stupid, I said he was just clowning around and had no intention of actually knocking the glass out and jumping into the pool. It was an accident. A very preventable accident, but still an accident.

In my opinion, if this guy thought there was even the most remote chance of actually knocking the glass out, he wouldn't have been banging his shoulder against it.
