Check this freeper thread. How sad.
And to think freepers say DUers are nasty. Here they are celebrating the deaths of four kids. Very sick.

3. That website looks like it was designed by elementary school kids.




And the posts it collects reinforces my suspicion.

8. No. You're mistaken.
Elementary school kids would be far more creative.

4. WHY give them the traffic?
These people are an embarrassment to this country. WHY give them the traffic? We already know what most of them have to say - it comes directly from Faux Noise. :shrug:

6. I don't like giving them the traffic but
I think we need to look at some of these threads occasionally just to remind us of who these people are. And to remind ourselves when we start to get too ugly.

7. I glanced at the link, didn't really see any 'celebrating.'
Edited on Fri Jun-15-07 10:49 AM by karlrschneider
Most of the comments were actually pretty factual, observing they were in a stolen vehicle speeding around at 3:30 a.m. I'm sorry for their deaths and injuries but stupidity sometimes results in tragedy.

13. Maybe you don't consider that celebrating...
Edited on Fri Jun-15-07 11:30 AM by kegler14
but even so it's pretty ugly. See if you don't need a shower after reading this selection.

"Damn shame about the SUV and the train....."

"I’m trying to dredge up some compassion, but I can’t, and the word that keeps drifting through my mind is “brats.”

"It would seem that these kids have been rehabilitated...eh?"

"Sorry about the damage to train and the SUV."

"What bothers me more is the taxpayer dollars wasted on the Life Flight ride and other medical expenses. Leave the riff-raff in the wreckage!"

"Cry me a river. You might as well say that the gang-banging crack-whore used to be a cute little baby with a mother that loved her. I prefer to think of them as the scum of the earth who need to be eradicated."

"Hope the Jeep had full coverage."

"The SUV made them do it...."

“Sometimes things work out OK on their own!”

5. What do you mean?
"That site" is made up of good, God-fearing judeo-christian types.

You know, the 'compassionate ones'...

27. Use the search function.
Search "Anna Nicole" in the archives for the two or three days after she died. I'm not going to post it, I've still got some of the jerks blocked.

Does it involve spears and the head of a hog?

20. Most of them don't feel bad because it was crimnals that died
I understand that mentality in general because I simply don't usually care when a criminal gets killed committing a criminal act. They're putting their lives on the line for a stereo or a car or a wallet or something equally not worth it. Darwin Awards and all that stuff.

However, in this particular case it sounds like most of the kids were too young to have that kind of callous attitude. I mean, dammit, one of them was 12!

Some of them are probably related, too. Damn, this is sad.

23. I have no brook for criminals and
certainly would have been pissed if these kids had stolen my car. But good lord the oldest one was 17. Had they been caught before the crash they should have been punished severely, but not executed.

26. That is the preferred outcome, of course
Not knowing more details about the story, it's hard to pass judgement. 17 is old enough to have quite a criminal career.

However, "stolen" in this case can be misleading. Was the driver just a kid out for a joyride with a relative's car? Or did he make a living (or fuel a drug habid) by stealing cars?

34. one freeper actually had a comment that sounded halfway rational
"Swift Justice? Maybe, but why do I have the feeling that the older ones who survived where the perps and the younger kids who died were just stupid kids taking a ride for a lark and were Innocent of the robbery."

28. Typical.
I did see one that scolded them for enjoying those poor kids deaths. I've been reading the messages on chron.com (Houston) and there were a lot of messages with the same freepish comments. Luckily they were deleted.

35. Let's hope we don't become like they are - but then maybe we have
Some will celebrate the death of people who don't THINK like they do.

After all, who cares when the 'enemy' dies (ie, law breakers, people who we disagree with, etc)?
