It's easy to say "no" when you've never had to choose between being a poverty and relying on vice for a livelihood. While a boy at my school tried to get out of my life, many don't, in my district (KCK) there were 5th graders who had parole officers because they learned to hustle in their communities. It's because of this that many don't see the risks of engaging in that lifestyle, because it's all they've ever known. Jose Fernandez could be the wake up call because he demonstrates that the risk is there for even those at the top of the societal ladder. He also illustrates the collateral damage that he's left behind for the victims in his family. This removes any glamour associated with this "life", and told in the right way, could inspire a village to make real changes in their communities. Maybe it wouldn't work, but we know the alternative of the "Just Say No" narrative has been nothing but a colossal failure in our society. If you want to preach the merits of that failed campaign, I won't stop you. With respect, we're not likely going to find a common ground on this subject, PB, so I'm going to bow out now. I'll catch you in a Royals thread sometime soon. |

I guess you've never been young, dumb and full of cum then because I know I was, and mix in drugs and alcohol and well, I'm lucky I'm alive.
Here's the deal with the unfortunate accident: why speed around in a boat with zero visability, no lights, and near concrete structures? If none of those young men knew what they were doing, why risk death? The only sane answer is because their reasoning/judgement is impaired. Does anyone think Hernandez wanted to die? Neither do I. Also, this is not the first case of young professional male athletes killing themselves in a boating accident where drugs and alcohol are involved.

They died because of their lack of maritime experience. You can find drunk people on lakes all over America on any given summer day. Same goes for Tampa Bay, the LA South Bay, the eastern side of Florida and any number of bodies of water. It's pretty hard to kill yourself in center console boat, unless you're inexperienced and horsing around at night in an unfamiliar location. Even then, it's pretty hard to kill yourself. The investigation couldn't determine who was piloting the boat. One guy had no cocaine in his system and the other two had less BAC than Fernandez. That said, an experienced boater, even when "drunk", wouldn't have crashed that boat into the rocks. |
