Ryan Dunn of Jackass dies in a car crash at age 34

And on the subject of stupid, the "Rev." Fred Phelps and his band of jackasses intend to protest the funeral.

Story

That may very well be their undoing. You don't fuck around with guys who like to get severely injured engaging in reckless stupidity, and who are emotionally unstable, moreso over one of their fallen heroes.
 
Dickhead kills passenger as well as himself while drunk driving - yeah, real fuckin hero to the masses, huh?

Colour me neither sympathetic nor having any respect.

(I am biased, having been once, with my wife, run down by a drunk driver who mounted the pavement while failing to make a turn)

People *should* be wishing more for RIP his innocent passenger who he killed.


Couldn't agree more. Darwinism in action.

Though I do have sympathy for the guys family.

And its a damn shame about the car.

Sympathy for the Families but
Jackass star Ryan Dunn reportedly had 11 drinks before stepping behind the wheel of his Porsche and fatally crashing.

According to MyFoxPhilly, the TV star downed the drinks over a four-hour period, causing him to be more than twice over the legal blood-alcohol limit.

Dunn reportedly ordered eight drinks at a bar in Philadelphia and then received three additional drinks from fans.

Cops have revealed that Dunn, 34, was driving his Porche at 130 miles per hour before the fatal smash in West Goshen.
 
That anyone would wish this man's soul well or say RIP astounds me. This guy got behind the wheel while being over double the legal limit, drove at 130 miles-an-hour and got himself and a passenger killed.

All of the sympathies in the world to his surviving friends and family but this guy deserves everything but "resting in peace" or one iota of sympathy, mourning, or sadness from anyone but his surviving friends and family. The guy was a jackass in every meaning of the word as he put the lives of everyone on the road with him at risk through his careless, thoughtless and self-centered actions.

To Ryan Dunn I say: Burn in hell you giant dickweed.
 
This is strange coming from me (believe me, if you knew me, you'd understand), but I agree 100% with Trekker. You said everything I've been feeling but been unable to find the guts to say.

For how long?
 
^ Pretty much.

I echo the sentiments above -- first thought after I heard the news was that line from the one chapter in The Stand...

'No great loss.'

Cheers,

Yeah, I'm going to go with this. Years ago, I had a relative involved in a hit and run. They never got the guy so I'm not sure if it was drunk driving, stupid driving or both. Fortunately she survived, but she spent months recovering. Anyone who gets in a car and puts others in danger like this doesn't deserve any sympathy at all!
 
Hmm yeah, I don't know. I'm a little conflicted here, while drinking and driving is horrorifically inexcusable, to wish somebody eternal damnation in Hell for that offense is a bit extreme. And I'm not really all that religious either. Not having sympathy for him though, but to his friends and family is something I can totally get behind.
And this is coming from somebody who's family was forever shattered in 1994 by a drunk driving logging trucker in Oregon. Claimed my step dad and my mom hasn't been the same since. This was a week after my dad died from liver failure, so that accident pretty much cemented it. It is what it is. Not good times.

So whether it astounds you or not, I said R.I.P. well because it felt like the proper thing to say. I dont know the guy, but he was still a man, albeit a man that made a very foolish decision and he paid for it, in addition to taking somebody elses life with him, also very unfortunate.

Just to be clear, I'm not wishing anyone eternal damnation. In fact, I'm against the whole notion. My point was to ask why anyone deserves/deserved eternal damnation for a crime committed inside of a very short lifespan.

Because I see saying "RIP" as people being saddened, shocked, and upset that a person died and that the person's death was too soon and tragic. I can see that happening to man whose life was taken by a drunk driver or a murderer, or a person who died to natural causes or things along those lines. This is not what happened here.

This man died because he recklessly and foolishly drunk himself into a stupor (again he was over double the legal limit at .19 BAL and, for the record, a BAL of .2 unconsciousness and death can occur) got into a car and drove it on a public roadway at over 100 miles an hour.

How can someone like that be "deserving" of a peaceful rest when he endangered the lives of everyone else on the road with him and ended up killing his passenger in the inevitable wreck?

I see "RIP" as having too much sympathy for the deceased and I have no sympathies for this type of person, I have more sympathies for the car than I do the jackass who was behind the wheel and I have sympathies towards the passenger. But I see no need to have sympathies for a man who was this reckless.

I don't necessarily believe in Hell either but saying that puts a delightful punch to how I feel, this guy deserves no peace and he certainly doesn't deserve an afterlife in Paradise.

I'm all for mourning celebrities who die for reasons beyond their control and maybe even some reasons that were within their control, but why mourn a man who gets rip-roaring drunk like this and then gets in a car and drives at 100 miles an hour.

And I doubt it was the first time he did it so it's hardly a "one mistake" or an isolated incident.
