Let's do something!

What is the point of posting this story on BB? Is this some sort of anti-authority political statement?

The police should never have any means of restraining a drugged-out, violent gangmember with a prior history of violence against women and police. Maybe the police should just ask politely: "Excuse me, citizen, could you please stop punching me and put these handcuffs on yourself?" Right.

Anywhere else in the world the police DO shoot first and ask questions later. We are lucky we have the option of being tasered after we've robbed a liquor store at gunpoint.

That's a spark plug gauge not a screwdriver. Dumb!!!

Baloney. I have little sympathy for amateur thrillseekers and daredevils. This is what is meant by the phrase, "an idle mind is the devil's playground." This guy has millions of dollars and the best thing he can think of spending them on is expensive aircraft and ridiculous adventures. It is well-known that Mt. Everest is littered with the bodies of millionaires whose ambition to show off is bigger than their common sense. This guy is a shameless self-indulgent and there is nothing admirable about the way he lived or the way he died.
