He took a stomp on the chest from a bull and went into cardiac arrest? Brutal.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the same MAGA loons who said Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest at such a young age wasn't caused by a blow to the chest, but his instead by his vaccination status will be saying the same about this kid's cardiac arrest at a significantly younger age. Right?

Right?

Bull riding is one of the most dangerous things that you can do.

A witness told WFMY 2 that the bull stomped on the boy's chest.

The boy remained unconscious in front of the stunned crowd as emergency workers treated him. He died later at the hospital.
"I'm so proud of your braveness and your courage!" the boy's mother, Shannon Bowman, wrote on Facebook Sunday. "My lil cowboy I will love and miss you so much and I know God will take care of you."

And God came through?

If you YouTube the kid's name to see news reports to get a little more information on the incident one of the "People Also Watched" videos is "The Most Hearts-Sopping Moments of 2022" and that just seems to be in poor taste.

I don't even get why it's there. It's not an ad. You don't click through to other huffpo articles, so it doesn't seem like it's to drive engagement.  It's just filler, which in this case perhaps could have used a human editor to say "maybe we shouldn't have a puff-piece video about stepping on legos being the worst part of parenting at the top of an article about child death...maybe."

I don't think the rodeo clowns are going to help with the cardiac arrest unless they know CPR

You let your 14 year old get on a bull. Da fuq is wrong with you.

On a scale of 1 to 10 of things you shouldn't let your kid do, this up near the top. Maybe don't let your kid participate in rodeo events. Just sayin'.

People who participate in sports that literally require animal suffering to function deserve a stomp to the chest from a bull.

Eating every fish you catch? Cool
Using every part of a deer you shoot? Awesome
Shooting a lion because yeah, I'm a man? Stomp
Scaring the shiat out of a bull (and apparently upthread, physically torturing it) then hopping on its back for as long as possible? Stomp

Their god killed their child.  They should have known better than to be such horrible parents that they trust their child's wellbeing to such a hateful deity.

" The boots, the cowboy hats, and those big belt buckles, he loved it all. "
does that include getting stomped on the chest by a pissed off animal that weighs 1000 lbs. ?

If there'd been a way to accessorize getting stomped to death, perhaps not.

Torture an animal to get it riled up, then show your 'manliness' by riding it while it's pissed off.

I mean, it's a step up from bullfighting, but it's still cruel and stupid and I really do not get upset if the bull wins.

They very specifically DON'T give Darwin Awards to kids because until that frontal live development is further along they aren't responsible. Just like we used to not prosecute kids as adults.

That I will agree with.  At 14, this death is entirely on the adults who allowed it to happen, and it should be prosecuted criminally.

And of course these people have started a gofundme so they can profit off their stupid decision to let their kid do this incredibly dangerous activity. They've managed to raise $22k from a lot of gullible people so far.

Every wheel is an admission of weakness. Balance is about brute force.

As the parent of a 14 year old child, I can't imagine agreeing to allow him to participate in such a dangerous activity.  Of course I wouldn't let him play football or take up boxing either, because those are unnecessary risks.  Basketball, soccer, and baseball are still okay, though I worry about baseball after hearing about how Donald Trump was knocked out cold by a low ball strike to the head in High School and no one should want that to happen to their kid.
