Weak men create hard times
After reading some of the posts in here, I am a bit taken back at some of the responses I have seen. As poor as his decision was, I still feel bad for him and his family. Brandon was one my friends little brother who I grew up with in middle school. Seeing all the posts on his older brothers FB page blowing up with people who know their family hits a little close to home for me as my brother and I are the same age distance as they were.
I am no way defending what he did, nor condoning it, but I wouldn't be the one to call the kettle black. I am sure many of us here are guilty of the same crime in some way shape or form; myself included. His family is in my prayers and may he RIP.

"But when it's time to fight, you fight like you are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah's Ark; and brother, it's startin' to rain."
I'm just waiting for the parents to sue Mike Ward for letting their precious snowflake get killed by Mike's evil car.
Nevermind the speed, the selfishness of making a video of yourself abusing your employer's trust and disrespecting your employers property is astounding.
I did high speed things when I was younger but I NEVER did them in someone else's car, always my own property.

Should have been driving a Ferrari
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ge-100mph.html
A Texas man and his passengers miraculously escaped death in a dramatic crash after he drunk-drove a $385,000 Ferrari into a ravine at more than 100mph, police said.
James Allen, 28, was racing down the Red Bud Trail outside Austin at around 2:30am Friday when he missed a turn and spun out, sending his car careening off a 40-foot-high bridge, police said.
The limited production 2015 Ferrari flipped over once before landing in the ravine, smashing up the beer bottles and cans packed inside - and yet no-one was injured,CBS News reported.![]()
I said the same thing to my wife this morning. I won't be surprised in the least if the family sues for making the vehicle available.
I'm a compassionate guy. Life can be tough and I've experienced plenty myself. What doesn't get my sympathy is someone placing their narcissism above risking the lives of others and even their own survival.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
-Also Me
It's definitely hard to be compassionate to all. There are 320 million people in this country. Some die over needless and foolish things/choices.
And let's not forget we have 18 year olds who raise their right hand to go to war for us. Some of them will die too through no fault of their own, other than being heroes of course. Not to mention those already lost and forgotten by a mostly ungrateful public.
Compare/contrast. Hard thing indeed.
I will go on the record now and say if I make the same choice with the same outcome, feel free to mock me. But if I post selfies first, you may need counseling.![]()
Don't GoPro me bro!
