early adulthood make mistakes. This is one he paid for dearly. I wish we wouldn't have to strut around proclaiming our superiority over children. It reminds me of the whole "darwin awards" thing that was once really popular around here. Thank god it died out. We've found a new replacement cruel meme. The "stupid" meme. I guess if the guy was an asshole who waterboarded innocent people for fun I'd find some redemption in him blowing off his jimmy. This just seems cruel.
