Ripping along, at high speed in a boat, in the ocean, along the shoreline, in the dark. Great fun....until you hit something. Doesn't matter who you are, risky behavior can get you killed, in the blink of an eye. Too bad their fun night on the ocean ended in their deaths. Didn't have to happen, and was totally avoidable. It's tragic to them and their families. Can't go back and undo dead.
ReplyDeleteTragic for his family and him after all he went through to get here to pursue his dreams. Personally though sick and tired of sports and the athletes on every level, high school college and pros. They act as though a sport is actually something relevant and able to change the world. There is a war going on a quite possibly a third world war unfolding and all that deal with this on a daily basis get no respect or recognition but an athlete because he can run throw hit or catch a ball is a "role model" or idol. Good luck with that when your refuge buddies start turning the heat up on this country
