The Latest Darwin Award

Yeah, this genius left behind two young children.

Shouldn't have had a gun then. Shouldn't have played around with the shooter then. Most of all, he shouldn't wave a locked and loaded piece while taking a selfie.

This might sound callous, but there are many useless deaths in this world. My compassion for idiots bringing it on themselves is rather limited compared to someone having some freak accident.

I have to agree. Like the child eating breakfast in some Chicago slum, struck by a stray bullet from gang idiot.

I'll never forget a short article I read from the U.S. military newspaper, Pacific Stars and Stripes in early 1989. It was a DOD newspaper we received in Korea (and throughout the Pacific theater) and it had an amusing news blurb from each of the fifty states. I'll never forget the one from California. There was a guy killed while mooning cars in the Pacific State Highway or some such thing. He wasn't in the breakdown lane while doing this. He was standing in one of the southbound lanes showing a northern lunar face. He was a struck by one car, propelled several hundred feet and subsequently run over by three other cars. I could just imagine the police and insurance report filled out by the driver who hit the idiot. I can also imagine what the responsible official said to his family who had to report the incident. How do you tell parents that their son died mooning cars in the middle of a freeway? That's a job for George Carlin or Dennis Leary.
