Two young men have been rescued from a Black Mountain cabin in Jackson, N.H., after fearing one had frostbite from wearing improper gear.
Eighteen-year-olds Pasquale Digiovangiacomo (di-gee-oh-VAN-gee-i-COH-moh) and Dean Cooper, both from Cranston, R.I., hiked to a cabin they had reserved for the weekend Tuesday afternoon. The men had trouble getting the wood stove started and once it was lit, it gave little heat.

Abrams said the men will likely be charged for the rescue. Why do we pay taxes anymore? Or are only free government services for illegal aliens?

Pasquale Digiovangiacomo (di-gee-oh-VAN-gee-i-COH-moh) and Dean Cooper
Okay, why the phonetic spelling for one guy and not the other? And why only the last name? Sheesh.

In other words, two recent graduates from the famously ultra-liberal school system of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations did not know how to get heat out of a fire!!

Let me see, they’re both 18....young enough to do incredibly foolish things. Yet, they had sense enough to realize they might have put themselves in a bad spot, so, rather than take a chance, they showed enough sense to make a phone call and ask for help.
If they were forty, I’d not give them a break. 18, though, well, I was once that age, and still cannot believe the foolish things I somehow managed to survive.

I’d bet dollars to donuts they never used a wood stove before and had no idea how to properly heat and regulate it.
