Isaiah Otieno, from Kenya, was crossing a street in a quiet Cranbrook, B.C. neighbourhood last week when a helicopter struggling to stay airborne suddenly dropped on top of him.Like something out of a Warner Bros. RoadRunner cartoon.

Often this goes beyond just the headphones and loud music. It’s also this mindset that the world is revolving around them and everything and everybody needs to get out of their way. Sometimes they are just, I don’t know, like fry-brains or daydreaming. Many times in my neighborhood I drive by kids that are actually defiant about having to get out of the road. They are either ticked off that I am disturbing their fun or they look at you with these blank expressions. Just the other day I drove around three kids standing in the road to one side, with their bikes and skateboards and they didn’t make not one move to get out of my way. Another time I was driving behind a kid (really too old to be called a kid) who was riding his skateboard down the street, weaving back and forth, taking up the whole road. He had absolutely no idea I was behind him (and he wasn’t listening to anything), and when I finally honked it startled him.

He should have been carrying one of those little umbrellas like Wiley does.

If you told him he was going to die that day, and gave him 1000 guesses as to how, he wouldn’t have gotten it right.

Given the number of black people in Cranbrook BC, and taking into account the number of people on the ground killed by falling helicopters over the past 10 years. The evidence is overwhelming that this was a hate crime.

I’m not surprised this happened. Most of today’s music is very similar to the sound of a crashing helicopter.
