A woman known for documenting her travels on social media fell to her death while trying to snap a selfie, according to reports.

Toni Kelly, 20, a New Zealander living in London, died Nov. 14, two days after plunging out of a second-story window and suffering a severe brain injury, the Evening Standard reported.

[Sadder still, it’s a pandemic condition these days]

Absolutely correct.

[SaveFerris]

It was all too real, FRiend

He seems to be doing as a joke, maybe for one of his press night comedy acts?

[SaveFerris]

As I've posted before, one of his "jokes" was to claim that Kevin Spacey's "House of Cards" antichrist character was modeled after him. If my YouTube was working properly (browser update broke it and hasn't come back) I'd find the other "House of Cards" video where it does the scene a little longer. He was in-your-face about it; he even admits some think he's the Antichrist. He's of the (small "a") antichrist spirit of a minimum. And represents just how easily the self-proclaimed "smart" leftists are so easily fooled.

"Hello everybody. This is not Frank Underwood; this is Barack Obama.

Frank learned it from ME (Barack Obama)."

Ignore "the DaVinci Code" in the last 1/2, though. It's the first 1/2 that grabs your attention.

"(Anti-God/Anti-Christ) Frank (Underwood) learned it from me (Barack Obama)."

Obama channels antichrist HBO character

(BTW I disagree with statues, especially religious - but still, the underlying tone is there)

Obama is the foremost person that ever made me think about this passage in Daniel chapter 11. Not everyone agrees; ran into an old high school friend recently; he was stunned by him as well.

Daniel 11:36 King James Version

36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

Yup....nothing like mocking the death of a 20 year old kid with the herd.

So late into the year, but we definately have another Darwin candidate.

“She made a terrible mistake, but try to remember she was someone’s daughter, and they are hurting now.”

Yes, indeed.

[Husker8877]

Would it have been less sad if she were not a beautiful young lady?

I guess the relatives and friends of an ugly young lady, or even a somewhat homely young lady, would have been less sad too.

It always just bothers me when people say it like you said it... don’t mean to call you out specifically...

Did she keep telling herself “too close, backup”?

[Bonemaker]

She had a severe brain issue before this.

[Bonemaker]

“Yes, indeed. Even if a person is just familiar with Latin and Greek prefixes & suffixes they got a good chunk of English right there.”

I had scientific and medical Greek and Latin in college. Relatively easy and extremely useful as life went on for understanding health and othe issues.

BAN selfies!

[metmom]

It could be but it seems to fairly regularly result in some tragic end so it’s not really a innocent, harmless way to have fun.

Plus, when I see people taking selfies, they strike me as about the shallowest, self-consumed individuals going.

Totally immature and self-absorbed creatures.

Quit trash-talking The Brown Clown, jonas...

[Henry Hnyellar]

If she wasn’t beautiful, it wouldn’t be as sad, right?

[SaveFerris]

Right there with ya especially on that last sentence.

[Balding_Eagle]

You’re exactly right, we mourn the loss of beautiful things much more than ugly things.

Let me help you put it in perspective, since you seem to have missed perspective.

If you were fired from a job, which kind of job would you then miss the most, a job you hated, or a job you loved?

Wow.....people don’t have the fear of God anymore (wisdom).
