"Mario Danelo, a kicker for the USC football team, was found dead Saturday in San Pedro, Calif.

Danelo's body was found at the bottom of White Point Cliff in San Pedro, according for a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department. Police did not release further details. "

My guess is he didn't keep the agreed deal for point spread and he got whacked.

[pissant]

Huh? Why is the gov'ts responsibility to worry about such things.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It should have been bulldozed long ago to prevent an accident/suicide/murder.

Obviously, you're completely unfamiliar with both the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the entire California coastline. There are hundreds of miles of "jumper cliffs." The only thing that made this one notable is the large nearby population and its easy accessibility. Bulldozing it would be impossible, and blockading it would merely send jumpers a mile either way.

I remember that area from my highschool years.

[HarryCaul]

Heh. If you bulldozed every cliff you could jump from in southern california, you'd be busy for a logn, long time.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Clearly needed more hangtime.

And you need more sense. Or at least some.

"Okay. so he missed a few. Jeez - that's no reason to have him killed!"

Don't blame us, we won 13-9.

USC, San Pedro, rough parts of town.

Maybe you didn't realize the gravity of the situation.....

[pissant]

I'm going into the earth moving biz.

LOL

[yldstrk]

Y'all are joking about a suicide......I don't think it's funny. Y'all are cold.

[Atchafalaya]

Not trying to be an AH, but how many cliffs would meet the criteria you would support bulldozing? The cliff ain't the problem.

[Chena]

FWIW, from what I read, there is no evidence at this time that this was a suicide.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You know, I've noticed several angry, meanspirited posts recently by you directed toward USC. Perhaps you think you're funny. You're amusing only yourself. And now you joke at the death of a Trojan.

You remind me of nothing more than the Democrats' meanspiritedness toward George W. Bush--it's often called Bush Derangement Syndrome. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that it is evidence of sinful hatred. That wouldn't be what's going on with you, too, would it?

Don't bother replying to me--I'll ignore you henceforth. I just thought someone should do you the favor of helping you see the hole you've apparently fallen into. I'm no better--I'm a sinner, too--we all are. Fortunately, God provided a solution by sending his Son, a fact which young Mr. Danelo is facing now. I pray for him, his family, and you.

"Is this a park, fell while hiking or rock climbing?" White's Point is a cliff on the Palos Verdes peninsula over looking the Pacfic ocean. Not very good rock for climbing though people try. A good number of them fall.
