Brady Sluder, the now infamous Florida spring breaker who basically said he doesn’t care if he contracts coronavirus and that “here’s just here to have a good time,” has since apologized.
Sluder, who is a Soundcloud rapper from Milford, Ohio, posted the apology to his Instagram account, saying, "I wasn't aware of the severity of my actions and comments.
"Like many others, I have elderly people who I adore more than anything in the world and other family members who are at risk, and I understand how concerning this disease is for us all.”

"Our generation may feel invincible, like I did when I commented," he added. "But we have a responsibility to listen and follow the recommendations in our communities."
He also urged people "listen to your communities and do as health officials say." "At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying," said Sluder in the now viral video. c Last week, a now viral segment from CBS News about spring breakers in Florida featured Sluder and others saying they didn’t care about getting coronavirus. "If I get corona, I get corona," said Sluder in the video. "At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying. We've been waiting for Miami spring break for a while. We're just out here having a good time. Whatever happens, happens."
Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been criticized for not closing the state’s public beaches during spring break, as well as refusing to issue a statewide stay-at-home order.
Last weekend, the University of Tampa issued a statement saying five of their students tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling together on spring break.
“Our generation may feel invincible, like I did when I commented,” he added
All kids do, every generation has felt that way
Now grow up
If Brady was a Black kid, would he be getting all this static from those ‘older & wiser’ than he? I tend to doubt it.
It shouldn’t matter.
South Carolina mom with coronavirus-infected 7-month-old son speaks out: ‘COVID-19 isn’t a joke’

He’s technically 100% correct in that he’s very much not likely to have a problem even if he does get it.
He’s on a vacation.
Anyone here on Free Republic would say something flippant to the media about not caring about the amount of money spent on guns and ammo. Would each of you then apologize when its brought up that people are starving in Africa and guns kill people?
Well, lady, don’t laugh at it, then.
Ok..fine. Grow up..be a man.
He’s on a vacation.
Leave him alone. You are free to do things you enjoy that others think are incredibly stupid.
lol
Never apologize
Does it not occur to you that it's not just about him? Even if it doesn't affect him personally, he potentially becomes a carrier who will spread it to people who it will affect. It's not exactly rocket science.
His statement went viral and now he has sobered up he is aware of future employers may scan his FB or whatever else these knuckleheads use, see this and pass him over for any decent employment.
Oh well
Dumb kid. Never never ever apologize.
What is it about FReepers that makes them think everyone else is supposed to work and change their lives to suit the FReeper?
Yes. As soon as they learned how to check their email.
Next time I get pulled over for reckless driving and speeding through a subdivision, I’ll tell the cop to leave me alone because I’m on vacation.
There will always be people who ‘think’ they can escape responsibility and do their own thing regardless of how it affects others.
This isn't about Freedom....it's about the nation's peoples cooperating in protecting each other from a very nasty virus of currently there is no immunity from, no vaccine for, and no current treatment for assured.
No, I will not lay off. He was the voice of all Spring Breakers. So was that gal who was all about HER!!!! Spring Break. If they’ve somehow managed to get into college, they shouldn’t be allowed back in. Can’t fix stupid with any amount of classes.
Not telling how many those selfish morons will infect and possibly cause life long health and job market problems or even deaths. Those won’t be merely deaths but out right murder.
Good point.
I just can’t see Jim R. saying, “I apologize for saying I believe it’s okay for me to buy guns. Guns are used around the world to kill innocent people. The money I am spending on guns is stupid, wasteful, and I hope everyone forgives me for my irresponsible habit.”
Precisely.
