For all you know they could have relatives reading this forum.

maybe we'll get a good laugh when you drive off a cliff on your next hoka hey.

If my potential misfortune would give you a laugh that's fine with me. I really don't GAF whether you like what I typed or not. I don't seek nor do I need your approval.

You don't give a damn about those people. It just makes you feel good about yourself to say you do. That's the "in thing" to do nowadays. I would be surprised if you even remember the incident happened three months from now.

I know the victims names and I know what they looked like. Do you?

You can take your holier than thou attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine as far as I'm concerned.

Looks like some people missed psychology 101 and every human tragedy for the past few thousand years or so.

Comedy is one manner in which we humans deal with tragedy. There are always jokes, usually very tasteless, which immediately follow.

Beyond that, IA's joke targeted the pro-helmet crowd, not the shooting victims.

Happened to catch some local news about the incident yesterday. Thankfully they aren't spinning the unruly bikers, alcohol and guns ****. They did mention that the argument may have started over food?

I like your attitude. I found the helmet remark to be spot on and I myself am surprised it wasn't mentioned by the press in the story. It may sound callous but I think they should have done what they need to do at the crime scene and continued the party. Why punish everyone else over a tragedy that they didn't make.

@IronAss...Well I've sobered up now and after rereading your post I understand the context of your remark. I realize and admit that I was out of line with my post and apologize for my remark...I truly wish you no misfortune! I've followed and enjoyed your posts regarding your travels and look forward to your future trip!

Note to self: No drinking and typing.
