RIP Ryan Dunn (Jackass)

[AgDr_ODST]

well shit.....in light of this upsetting bit of info the remainder of my day is gonna suck! But whats making it slightly worse is all you horrible bastards who are either condeming him or being unsympathetic fuck wits just because of a picture.); );

Since it seems you don't take the time to read before you post and are quick to judge much like the very people you are condemning, I'll go ahead an repost this.

oh what the fuck ever...I skimmed over the goddamned article cause I was in shock!!!!.....that still doesn't change the fact that Im sickened, irritated, pissed off by all the people who are going 'rot in hell Dunn' or 'no sympathy from me'

Why are you so upset that people aren't showing sympathy for a man who was reckless enough to drive at such excessive speeds and be responsible for both his own life and that of the passenger?

I'm actually curious.

you see for me even though it can't and shouldn't be ignored that Dunn (and his friend/passenger who also died most likely) was drunk and for that reason he was speeding and ended up killing them both. Its more about the fact that two lives were tragically cut short due to the poor judgement brought on by alcohols influence.

 

[Grayjack]

Shit, great way to start the day out. RIP Ryan.

 

[blaqknoise]

This is quite unfortunate...

I enjoyed watching him in jackass.

And here we have another case of, it's the alcohols fault. It is not the alcohols fault!
A responsible person wouldn't have drunk that much or even thought about driving, even though he was drunk.

The responsibility lies in the person himself. Alcohol was just a small part of it.

That's assuming that he was speeding and/or drunk.

"Speeding may have been a factor" is not proof of speeding, it's speculation. Aliens may have shot his car with a pulse beam and set it on fire for all we know. Maybe it was a vehicle malfunction or something ran out into the road and they swerved to avoid it. We don't know.

As for the picture; There's a picture of him having one drink hours before the accident. We don't know that he was drunk. We don't know that he had more than one drink, let alone enough to impair him. One drink isn't enough to get everyone drunk. Some of us can handle more than that. And some of us can shrug off a few drinks, especially after a few hours.


Let's all just cut the cynicism and passing off speculation as fact, and either pay our respects, or stay out of the thread.

RIP Ryan Dunn.

Because he is upset that someone has died and is trying to be respectful of that unlike you he was reckless but right after someone dies is not the time to cast judgment

 

[Instant K4rma]

Damn, first Clarence Clemons, and now Ryan Dunn all of 2 days later.

While it is always sad to see someone pass, when the guy was drunk behind the wheel, it's kind of hard to feel sorry for him.

 

[Broady Brio]

He and the other "Jackasses" entertained me during their shows. It's not like he deserved it.

I said 'influence' I didn't say alcohol was solely to blame.

 

[Arehexes]

I suppose I feel similar to the way I felt when I found out that bin Ladin had been killed. I'm not a fan of celebrating anyone's death, but a Jackass? He was being a jackass, drunk driving, which I'm sure was not incidental in his death.

Too bad it wasn't Steve-O, though.

Wow that is possibly the coldest thing I've ever read on here..I'm shocked someone's death makes you as happy as finding out bin laden died, bin laden deserved to die Ryan dunn really didn't and in a car wreck not a way to go also can't belive you wish Steve o was dead to.....your a horrible person....so cold

Well, you're definitely a Jackass fan! Please read the bolded text again. The emotion I was describing was ambivalence, not happiness. The Steve-O joke was definitely in poor taste, so I'm sure he'd appreciate it. What I meant to say is that I'm surprised he's still alive.

No, Ryan didn't deserve to die, and the other person who died in the accident who may well not have been drinking didn't deserve to die either. Honestly though, if someone from Jersey Shore died I don't think there'd be memorial threads on the Escapist, and to me the only difference is the type of bodily fluids the "stars" like to bathe in. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this person made a difference in the lives of others when he wasn't helping his friend destroy his parents' house and covering himself in human excrement. I'm not being cheeky; if there's information you think I should be aware of, please include it.

Otherwise, where's the memorial for the other person who died? The person who in all likelihood did more productive things in his life than staple his balls to his leg? Where is HIS love?

*claps* you speak truth, and you know it isn't as saddening seeing how he was drinking before said accident. But a point you made is truth, what about the other guy? Hell what about those who didn't have the fame Dunn has, those who end up dying alone with no loved ones. Dunn went out drunk while driving and people weep his death, but I doubt no one bats an eye to those who die alone with no family to remember them

 

[Razgrizaces]

Well, at least he didn't kill anyone else in his reckless stupidity of drunk driving. Usually the drunk person lives while innocent people are the ones who get punished for it.

Somebody in the car with him died, I believe... I read that somewhere.

Sad to hear about his death, even though I haven't watched Jackass and I don't know who he is.

 

[Unhappy Crow]

I was shock when I saw this on Hot Threads. We're losing alot of celebs in car accidents.
It's going to feel weird watching Jackass 3.5 now that he's gone.

Fine you can be pissed I don't care but I'm pissed also but here is why

1. Dunn was the one drinking and driving he could have someone pick him and his friend up or hell get a taxi

2. He not only got himself killed but the person riding with him, and he could have killed others.

3. He didn't die because of a botched stunt, he died like ever other idiot who drinks and drives.

See Dunn is dead and has all his love from his fans, but I doubt the other guy will get a second thought same if Dunn took others lives with his because he chose to do something so stupid. How is it fair someone else's life is lost because of someones stupid choice, I wanna know how you feel if this happened to someone you loved.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Meh, I don't agree that it's "always sad when someone dies". It's certainly not that sad when someone dies being a complete assclown.

in hindsight I do admit that my stating alcohol as a potential influence and getting in the 'he was speeding' camp even though its not yet clear whats responsible for the wreck is jumping the shark abit. But thats besides the point we should either be here as you said to pay respects or reminisce and if not those two theres really need to come here!

RIP Ryan Dunn.....Salute *downing a shot in his memory*

[Ickorus]

Well, at the very least a celebrity dying due to drunk driving might make people think before they get in the car and do it themselves.

 

[AbstractStream]

Hooooly crap! From a car accident is what shocked me the most.
Bye Dunn.
