Reply to comment by Allopathological in 2 dead from reckless Dirt Bike riding on city streets by Flashbulb_RI

When I was 21 years old, I was in Afghanistan on a volunteer deployment to keep Kandahar City secure. We efficiently and effectively disrupted and dismantled insurgent networks for months.

But I was still just a dumb fucking kid, because I was only 21 years old. Let's show a little empathy here. We all know their actions were dangerous to others as well as themselves, and it should be condemned. It's a problem to be solved. But they're dead kids, at the end of the day. And that sucks.

I didn’t say that it doesn’t suck that they’re dead. I just said I don’t feel too bad for them because they actively chose to try and traumatize other people and do things that were borderline suicidal. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. At least they didn’t kill or maim the driver.
