ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This whole thread is gravedancing over the unfortunate, last deadly mistake of a nobody. DU is a popular website that shows up prominently in google searches, and it isn't out of the realm of possibility that his friends and loved ones might see this thread full of strangers laughing at him. It's in extremely bad taste and undermines what DU is about.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Mar 20, 2015, 02:35 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is Weird Newish but not hide-worthy.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Idiotic but tragic incident. But idiotic objection, also.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is called General Discussion. It's also a news story.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Welcome to the Internet. Is it your first day here?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Uh, seriously? Having a humorless day, alerter?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, are you serious! You are kidding, right? Please tell me you just wanted to waste people's time...please....
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh good gawd! Relax! This a message board not a freaking church! Gimme a break!
I love juror 4's comment.
