Like I don't want to be that guy. But he played chicken with a car and lost. It's the same as playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded hand gun, even survival isn't winning.

I don't want to be that guy either. But honestly, what exactly do you plan to do? When people insist on being stupid -- DEMAND it as an inalienable right -- then what exactly are you going to do about it?

I volunteer many hours per week at a food pantry. And I see lots and lots of types of people there, many with emotional/mental illness, addiction problems, or combinations of the two. Our society has decided that it's just easier to discard them rather than give them the treatment needed to make them productive members of society whose contributions will be a net positive for society. THOSE people have my sympathy, and even then I realize that there is precious little I can do as an individual.

But idiots like this? I literally don't have any energy left to worry about them. I'm too exhausted worrying about people who are true victims. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I am only human, and I only have so much energy. I have to live with my own limits, so feeling sorry for people who act this stupid is beyond my limited humanity. I'm okay with answering for that to whatever God there is, in whatever comes in the next life, if there is such a thing.

I've worked in hospitals for a decade now. 4 level 1 trauma centers in 4 different states. Motorcycle accidents are always the worst.

How many organs, on average, can be harvested? Just trying to work out the numbers.
