Unless that 22 year old kid or however old he was had a brain problem he certainly knew enough that jumping off a 100 ft waterfall ( or whatever it was) could cause harm or death to himself. As long as no one else was involved with his rescue I really do not care what he does to himself but others were involved and shouldn't have need to be if that "kid" had any brains.<br /><br />Sure I have done stupid things in my life but when people do dumb things they must know the consequences when they do them and face the music when they do it. <br />Yes, people get lung cancer when they are not smokers and for those I have sympathy. But for those who smoke against all odds and get cancer I have no sympathy. I have never used tobacco of any kind nor have I ever used alcohol to drink and I may kick off tomorrow. But my 10th grade science teacher said to leave tobacco and alcohol alone as they well never do you any good and could do you a lot of harm and that made sense to me---along with my parents never using either. <br />I am sure that those 300 people who wrote you feel that this kid deserved what he got as no one (we know of) forced him to jump. And yes, I am with you in not believing that the aloha spirit is not practiced as much as the people say it is but, again, I have no aloha for what happened to this kid or any other person who knowingly risks their lives in doing something stupid and the worst happens.<br /><br />Accidents will and do happen but when one takes place with someone who defies the odds and dies or gets hurt i have no sympathy for them--they knew what they were doing when the did it. <br /><br />Take care, my friend,<br />GlennGlenn Mickensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653777241725644144.post-34762311315640810982016-09-20T14:50:13.887-10:002016-09-20T14:50:13.887-10:00Glenn,

You never did crazy thugs as a youth?<br /><br />My point was that this dam island that preaches Aloha ain't got none. Nobody in over 300 comments commented to say Thank goodness you survived. <br /><br />My point was that people really aren't nice.

My only gratefulness is for those who rescued him and did not get hurt or killed doing it. Just like I have no sympathy for those who smoke and get lung cancer---the cancer is 100% preventable by just not using the tobacco product just as this idiot's jumping from the falls is preventable by not doing such a stupid thing. Too many people have diseases that they have no control over or are born with 2 strikes against them and those I have the greatest sympathy for. <br /><br />But alcoholics and drug users (unless they got hooked on drugs ordered by a Dr and got addicted) do not have my sympathy when all they had to do was say no thank you when introduced to the drug. <br /><br />Keep up the good work,<br />GlennGlenn Mickensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653777241725644144.post-76822038350356318442016-09-19T19:52:08.507-10:002016-09-19T19:52:08.507-10:00I think he should be disciplined, not embraced, fo...I think he should be disciplined, not embraced, for a bad youthful decision that could've hurt others besides himself...but disciplined in a helpful way--like a memorable fine and community service--and not cruelly with useless insults and hypocritical mockery.Roger Deannoreply@blogger.com
