LARGO | Surrounded by teenage friends on the back porch of his house, Thorin Montgomery was first up in a contest of Russian roulette.
Right away, the .38-caliber revolver fired its round. Badly wounded, the 17-year old was rushed to the hospital Friday night. Keeping vigil, friends wrote wishes online that he might summon some sort of inner strength and pull through.
But he died around 3 a.m. Sunday at Bayfront Medical Center. And friends who now dedicated Web posts to his memory struggled to reconcile how the teen with a bright smile and happy demeanor could be dead.
"Truly blessed to have been such amazing friends with you Thorin rest your soul in paradise," wrote one.

"Do what he say!
Do what he saaaay!!!"
And friends who now dedicated Web posts to his memory struggled to reconcile how the teen with a bright smile and happy demeanor could be dead.
Well here goes.
This young man died because he was incredibly stupid.
If you are struggling over how he could be dead you are as incredibly stupid as he was.
Life is not a video game. No extra lives no reset button.
Thor-in, Thor-out...
Russian Roulette Rule #1: Use a revolver, not a semi-automatic.
Ive always associated males with Russian roulette. Has anyone ever read about a girl being that stupid? I suppose they have but I imagine its rare.
............................................................
Girls play Russian Roulette with their female organs, when they open their legs in a promiscuous way.
They never know which shot will start the procedure, and it seldoms harms them, Just kills the infant it produces when they abort it..
Brain dead before the shot.

Yes, you can, but it's permanent.
Yes, of course, Montgomery Burns from... The Hobbit... That’s the character I was thinking of. :-)
