Re: Coroner: Ryan Dunn Died Violent Death

Roger Ebert, Ryan Dunn and the subtle art of shutting up - ComPost - The Washington Post

Quote:
It does not matter that you were right. When you see a hearse drive past, you do not whip out a megaphone and bellow, “This was your own dang fault,” even if it was.

“But it’s what everyone was thinking!” “But it’s true that drunk driving is wrong.” True, true — but there’s a distinction between thinking and saying. Thinking is something no one does anymore, and we’re still saying things all the time.
I think pretty much everyone here learned from the Sean Taylor tragedy to keep you mouth shut until all the facts are released. Is it possible it was a drunk driving accident? Sure, but until we know for sure it's best to give people time to mourn the loss of their friend. This is a concept that Ebert doesn't understand.

It may have been a tad insensitive on Ebert's part, but everyone is thinking the same thing. Hard to feel bad for a guy who knowingly gets behind the wheel loaded and drives so recklessly. I'm sure this wasn't the first time he did this either.

I agree totally.


Also, what if he had hit another vehicle instead of a tree? Would we all be saying the same thing? Doubt it. Kid was a idiot that lived his life like one and ultimately died like one. I feel for his family and friends though. RIP.
