Usher’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster, is taking the first step to prevent further accidents and deaths by starting a petition to drain the Georgia lake where her son died.

On Thursday, Foster took to Instagram and announced her effort to drain Lake Lanier in honor of her son, Kile Glover, who tragically lost his life in a jet ski accident on July 21, 2012, HipHopDX reported.

“On this significant day, July 6, we remember the tragic accident on Lake Lanier that forever altered my life. My courageous son, Kile Glover, fought for two weeks with unwavering strength until his passing on July 21,” the 52-year-old wrote at the beginning of the post’s caption…

It’s no more stupid than trying to ban guns because some people are killed by them.

Well, it’s not like Atlanta needs drinking water or electricity.

Edgar Allan Poe apparently wrote a book about the tragedy. You can buy it on Amazon, or apparently download it for free from the US State Department:

Before this 12-mile-long lake existed,

More than twice that long.

My best friend was violently murdered almost 30 years ago and I have vivid memories of it every single day.

Only seeing her in Heaven will take those memories away.

This is a new one. Not only did no Freeper read the article, the guy who wrote the headline for the article did not even read the article.

She wants to see the lake cleaned of debris just under the surface, which is apparently causing a ton of boating accidents, because people drive fast thinking it is a lake, and hit an underwater tree stump or sunken something or other, and have a deadly boating accident. Apparently the lake is filled with that stuff and nobody knows. Article says nothing about draining the lake, despite it being in the headline.

Freepers not reading articles is perfectly normal, I don’t do it myself most times before rendering a random opinion.

But I have never see the guy who wrote the article headline not have read the article before. This is like end-stage retardation of a society.

The pump to drain the lake would be a huge source of CO2 emissions. In the name of Climate Change such a environmental crime should be prohibited. If the lake were emptied it would also drive to extinction several species found only in Lake Lanier.

/sarc. Tameka Foster’s world revolves around her.

I rarely read them myself before telling people what to think about them.

But this one sounded too weird, so I took a peek. Wonder how many times I have steered people entirely wrong?

God bless, brother.
