It was funny until I realized he died. That sucks.

Yeah, I bet it was pretty funy right up until he croaked. Who is watching over drunk people these days?

Maybe he doesn't tip well.

CravenMorehead - i'm guessing in this case it was darwin?

i take it this didn't happen.

Darwin rules the day yet again! Remind me also never to drink in THAT pub.. The things they would make me do after a few to many pints scares me....

Hold my beer and watch this!

That's why I never do what people want me to do when I'm drunk. The cops have a problem with that, but it works with everyone else....

Regardless of whether the guy died or not, that headline is hilarious!!!!

OHHH YEEEEAAH

/Kool-Aide

A Harvey Wallbanger followed by a floor show...

NEXT!!

A helmet pu$$y

lol what a twat. Darwin I salute you!

And thus the thinning of the population continues. Now if only we could get Arkansas to collectively do this......

Natures way of weeding out idiots.

meep meep?

/got nada

Damn,

The waitress should get an award for adding some chlorine to the gene pool. Perhaps we should set up a defense fund for her.

N.

if theres a college degree for nintendo and hotel managment, and freakin art, there ought to Eugenics and Social Darwinism by now.

That fun little game must have been inspired by Gus Frerotte,he's the guy who rammed his head into the wall after they scored a touchdown and got a neck injury because of it.

Typical woman. Men are just toys.

Yay! Let's give her money to hire a lawyer... better than giving money to PETA to defend your big mac.

I'm not seeing where she committed a crime, soneone wanna fill me in?

Fatalarity ensues

/nothin

Dumbass. It's too bad he died but... Dumbass!

Jebus, 10m is a long run-up, did they clear a path for him, or is this just an unusually spacious, uncrowded bar?

Some consolation:
As he was likely moving at a good clip (enough to break his neck), he probably never regained consciousness, so there wouldn't be any "shiat, I'm paralized and can't breathe, one of you drunk farks do mouth-to-mouth!"

I'm guessing he just dropped and didn't move again. You're just not 'officially dead' until you're in hospital and dead. They only pronounce on the scene when there isn't ANY chance of survival e.g. no head.

He should of just told her "Ladies first..".

Neuticle ...You're just not 'officially dead' until you're in hospital and dead.

In the UK only a doctor can pronounce death, but parameds can stop when if they decide the circmstances merit ceasing of life saving activity (patient bled out, no response despite all best efforts, head detached from body etc).

The waitress is likely going to be charged with manslaughter, in that she did not do enough (anything?) to try & prevent what a reasonable person may judge as being stupidity likely to involve serious harm or death to the drunken slob in question.

/nuff said. Alas, poor Barney Gumble...

I hate how someone can be charged with a crime, just because they didn't get in some idiots way of furthering evolution. If some asshat wants to jump off a bridge, I'll just keep on walking by and let him. Its not my responsibility to stop people from doing what they want. Now, if that same person were trying to take another with him (EG Murder / Suicide), thats another story.

Takeshi strikes again

It annoys me to see Jackass blamed every time somebody does something stupid which results in bodily injury and/or death. Do people think that the general public didn't do dumb crap before the show started its run? Oh no, noone in the world ever ended up killing themselves because of stupidity before Jackass came on! It was unheard of!

From the very first sentence of the article:
A waitress could face life in jail after allegedly persuading a drunk to run headfirst into a wall.

There's a big difference between ALLOWING someone to do something dangerous and ENCOURAGING someone to do something dangerous.

Jebus, 10m is a long run-up, did they clear a path for him, or is this just an unusually spacious, uncrowded bar?

I don't know about you, but if I was in a bar and someone wanted to run 33 feet into a wall, I'd clear a path for them.

I can't believe they are going to charge the waitress over this.

Why the hell is everyone talking about evolution? If this guy did this while sober, then yeah, he must have been a complete moron. But if you've never gotten drunk and done something stupid and dangerous then you haven't really lived.

"No, really! Through that wall is another bar that will serve you past 2am! Mad you say? Didn't you see Harry Potter? Off you go now!"

Yeah the guy died. Absofarkinglutely hilarious regardless.

He'd hit it.


/less than zero

Confoundit I'm not just talking about this article, but it applies here too. This woman (based on the article) did nothing to make this man run into the wall, she just encouraged him too. Just like I can encourage you to stick a knife in your eye. Odds are though, you're smarter than our friend Gerhard Renzl here.

My point is, if your dumb enough to get SO DRUNK that you're willing to pull shiat like this, it doesn't matter WHAT people are goading you to do, its still YOUR FAULT, not theres.

Let me put it another way, peer pressure in school is a big thing right? Really hard to resist to it because if you do you wont be cool, and so on and so forth, so alot of people give in and conform. Its not your Peers fault that you conform though is it, its really yours, because its YOUR choice.

It's not like they didn't make him wear a helmet.

/saftey first

So it's open season on drunks? I MUST get to the next fark party.

I'm glad I'd never do something stupid while drunk. I wonder where the clothes I wore last night went?

I thought my outrage had been exhausted...and then something like this comes up.
Facing life in prison for encouraging someone to do something stupid?
Have these prosecutors lost their minds?
This guy was an adult.

"But...he'd been drinking."
Really, then release all the prisoners who were impaired when they committed their crime. If being impaired is not a valid defense in those cases--it doesn't apply to this.

Safety first! WHEEEEEEEEE /got nothing

Still farking hilarious

wow what a dumbass.

Ok She Who Waits Let us consider a hypothetical situation to make it more clear.

What would you say if the person running into the wall was not drunk at all but instead legally mentally impaired/ill. Our hypothetical person is not fully able to understand what they are doing and the consequences of their actions. A woman, who realizes and can see that the person in question is not fully mentally competent, convinces this person to put themself into danger, and they perform an action that results in their own death.

There is no question that in this hypothetical case the woman has done something wrong. The difference between the hypothetical and the real cases are that the man elected to put himself in a state of mental impairment instead of being involuntary. However that is not enough to justify the woman's actions or relieve her from the crime. Once he is in the state of mental impairment, in a bar that is designed for that exact purpose, it is the responsibility of those in the bar not to take advantage of the man and cause him harm or death.

If a drunk woman can rightfully claim rape due to alcohol impairment and win the majority of the time, then the action of encouraging/convincing a guy to do harm to his body is most certainly a crime. I'm sorry if you can't or refuse to see that.

I say sue the owner of the wall for not installing safety rails.

it was the asshat's own fault for trying out the stunt. Even when I'm wasted I have enough sense to know what stupid ass things I could do could kill me. And this guy gets bonus stupid points for reenacting a Jackass stunt. That show is one of the worse things on TV.
