Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
A young man with a promising career & an addiction to being healthy makes a mistake (that many of us males have) which cost him his life & is made a punchline here? Tough crowd.

Kind of what I was thinking, but I wouldn't expect this impeccable crowd to have any sort of compassion. I know where I won't be coming to ask for prayers if myself or my family ever makes a mistake and ends up in a bad position.Originally Posted by Jer
The wisdom to make good choices comes from experience, experience comes from bad choices. One just has to hope that one survives the bad choices.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
But for the grace of God go I... please don't hold back a need because of the potential for people lacking compassion.
Also, some folks might say the things they do because they're not sure how to reply to something like this. When things become uncomfortable, people often turn to dark humor.

The hours that the crash occurred essentially means that the car was stolen. At least that's how it happened when sales people would wreck vehicles back when I worked at a dealership.
I would like to see a toxicology report before I make any judgement. Sorry for being so clinical.

Sucks for the guy and his family, but this wasn't just a mistake... going 110+ mph on regular streets is pretty ignorant disregard for his life and anyone else who happened to be on the roads. This falls under "play stupid games win stupid prizes" for me.
I sold cars & there was a 'demo program' depending on sales #'s & tenure. The better your #'s the better the vehicle you could take home. The top sales dog usually got their pick of the lot.
If it comes out this guy was drunk as a skunk we can criticize him for making poor choices or feel bad that he had a disease which he succumbed to but as of now we know nothing & the snap to judgement based on superficial facts is disappointing.
I never said it was a mistake or a tragedy (I hate how that word gets thrown around). It certainly wasn't a comedic routine either. The reality lies somewhere in the middle. I just feel like we were all in our early 20's once & made stupid decisions that also could have resulted in our death or maybe even that of others. By dumb luck that didn't happen & now we're going to attack this guy like we're so much better than him? Doesn't seem right & I'm sure nobody here would like treatment or judgement applied to them or a family member.

A few people on here might surprise you. I got quite a few private messages when I was dealing with my moms stuff over the holidays.
Some were not surprising at all, but some were.
Every little bit helps..

I may have misspoke, as I certainly didn't mean everyone on the forum, there are some amazing folks here for sure (I have some very good friends I met on here).
