A 17-year-old boy slipped and plummeted to his death from the popular new 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles, after climbing the bridge as part of an apparent social media stunt, according to police.
The youth’s body was found at about 2 a.m. Saturday on the eastern side of the span, which has become a troubling magnet for gunplay, dangerous stunts and careless online clout-chasing since it opened about a year ago.
The teen, whose name has not been released, was taken to LA County USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said Tuesday during a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Commission that the victim lost his footing and fell “when climbing upon one of the arches, in order to post, apparently, a social media broadcast.”

Leave them alone. Stupidity should be painful at a minimum. Sometimes fatal. Otherwise humanity ceases to evolve.

This should help him get likes and views. Kind of like a Wrapper getting shot to death, to show his street cred - EXCELLENT for career growth (assuming he recorded a bunch of videos prior).

His father should have warned him about the dangers of social-media addiction, and not let him out of the house at 2 AM
Oh wait.....never mind.

“Ten bucks says his family sues for millions.”
Sorry. I never bet against the house. Odds are way too high.

Would a black kid do something this stupid?
There’s at least some money in robbing a liquor store. White’s are spoiled.

Guys, including me, have been doing this stuff since the beginning of time, it didn’t just start with the internet.
This is part of the male animal.

Was ‘tagging’ involved?
What ever happened to paper routes? Builds character.
