An article posted on the festival’s Web site identified the dead man as Daniel Jimeno Romero — and showed a still frame from an amateur video which captured the fatal goring.

Any assclown who runs with the bulls deserves what’s coming to him.

Actually I think it’s remarkable, given the stupidity and the obvious danger of the event, that this is the first death since 1995.

If they allowed high caliber handguns for the runners, I bet it would be even more popular........

According to the article, he was not carrying identification (per the rules) and his Mama learned her son was in the hospital from a television broadcast of his picture.

Also, there are links to WARNING: Graphic videos at the article.

Sometimes the bull wins. The guy who died had to know that he was needlessly putting his life at some risk. He lost. Oh well. Something smells good, I wonder what my wife is cooking for dinner.....

That would be the American way. We're good at shooting the bull.

This entire event should be retitled as the Darwin Selection Race 2009. Papa Hemmingway can shove it.
