Girl killed in park stunt
A 16-year-old Marysville girl died in a city park Saturday as she duplicated a movie stunt that involved a merry-go-round.
The victim, whose name was not released, died in S.J. Field Park on Rideout Way before 6 p.m., after she flew off a merry-go-round and hit her head on the street pavement, according to the Marysville Police Department.
According to witnesses, seven teenagers attached a rope to a truck and wrapped it around a merry-go-round, then watched it spin as the truck pulled the rope away from the ride. The stunt was previously performed in "Jackass: The Movie."

We live in a world where that teachs that there is no right and no wrong. However, knowing right from wrong frequently separates the living from the dead.
Liberals and their beliefs are hazardous to your health.

Why is it that every person who dies doing something REALLY stupid, turns out to be a "loving, caring person who was just starting their life over", instead of "a wreckless idiot with a dangerous need for attention"?

Definitely, here's the telling lines:
"The victim's friends said that she was a stubborn risk taker who got angry at those who tried to stop her from doing things she wanted to do. The stunt was something she wanted to try, they said.
"She'd go all out for the thrills," said Royster, who just knew the victim for six months."
But of course everyone will blame the movie.

I saw this on the local news this morning. The grandmother is blaming MTV (of course). One of the participants said he knew about the warning on the video but said something to the effect, 'we're just kids, you see it (the warning) and whatever, think they did it why can't we do it?'

The sad thing is these fools should be charged for a crime. This one goes down to 'Movies dont kill people, people kill people.' There had to be a driver of the truck!!!

Liberalism. They worship the "victim", so they have to be sympathetic. And the media is oh so liberal.

Another dumb impressionable teen dead. Hollywood is completely irresponsible. Some of the sh*t they put out is just completely reckless and thoughtless, knowing damn well kids are going to mimic this BS.
Was the teenager stupid, and impressionable for doing this? Yes. Were the adults that produce programs like Jackass irresponsible? Yes.

Darwin? No. Immature teenagers doing stupid acts with someone losing their life. The driver of the vehicle will soon find out the cost.
